Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) on Sunday bashed former President Barack Obama’s handling of Ebola, but praised President Trump’s response to the coronavirus as cases surge in several cities.
So this is how it works. If you’re a Democratic president, two deaths are a holocaust. Four (Benghazi) deaths are totally off the charts and heads must roll. But a Republican? 130,000 and rising – heckuva good job, Donnie! Four More Years!!
Joni, Near 130,000 dead Americans from covid on your guy’s watch. And as for ebola??
… … … …
Two American nurses contracted the disease while treating the Liberian patient, but both recovered. In other words, only two people have ever been infected with Ebola while on American soil and neither died. By comparison, CDC estimated 79,000 Americans died from influenza during the 2017-2018 flu season.
As a reminder, Iowa ranks only behind Texas in receipt of federal farm subsidy dollars, and as of 5 years ago, Ernst’s own family had received nearly half a million dollars from the Feds.
So remember that the next time Little Miss Independence bashes Democrats and federal programs.
