We need to get Joni Ernst and Mitch McConnell on every talk show possible. They inadvertently argue really strongly against Trump's One Big Vicious Bill.

"She is in the company of a growing cadre playing the same game in Congress, throughout the Trump administration, and across statehouses—feigning to embody feminism in the name of women’s collective political rise, all the while displaying reprehensible behavior and advancing the absolute worst policies for women, children, people of color, LGBTQ people, the elderly, and, quite frankly, for each and every one of us."

"Ernst’s callousness is a direct reflection of her party line and, to that extent, totally on brand. ...

Perhaps for that reason, some #Republicans in Washington are now making even more audacious claims. On CNN over the weekend, #OMB Dir #RussVought insisted that “no one will lose coverage as a result of this bill.” Likewise, #JoniErnst, a #Republican senator from Iowa, recently told voters at a town hall, “Everyone says that #Medicaid is being cut, people are going to see their benefits cut; that’s not true.” After one attendee shouted, “People will die,” Ernst replied, “We all are going to die.”

Targeting Joni Ernst's "empty, manipulative faith," Holly Berkley Fletcher says,

"For those of us who’ve hung around white evangelicalism and observed its longstanding alliance with retrograde politics, it’s not really new. Whether in the voting booth or on the mission field, given a choice, white evangelicals generally prioritize saving souls for eternity over helping bodies in the here and now."
