Sen. Ernst Trashes Sidney Powell: "Offensive" To Insinuate Republicans, Democrats Paid To Rig System
Real Clear Politics ^ | November 20, 2020 | By Ian Schwartz

Sen. Joni Ernst called Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell's comment that candidates "paid to have the system rigged" in their elections "offensive" and "absolutely outrageous." In an interview Thursday, Ernst said claims of voter fraud are discouraging to voters and may hurt Republican turnout in the Georgia runoff races because Trump voters doubt the system.

"That is an offensive comment for those of us that do stand up and represent our state in a dignified manner," Ernst said. "We believe in honesty... to insinuate that Republican and Democratic candidates paid to throw off this election I think is absolutely outrageous. And I do take offense to that. You know, I have fought for my country. I've worn our nation's uniform to protect the values and freedoms that our nation espouses and to have that accusation just offhandedly thrown out there just to confuse our voters across the United States, I think that is absolutely wrong."

Anyone who goes after Powell at the point should probably be considered compromised.

Republicans need to support the president! Democrats are good at circling the wagons Republicans are not.

Maybe Joni isn’t familiar with names like Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, Bill Kristol et al.

Ahhh..she was being interviewed by FOX Never Trumper Guy Benson. Makes perfect sense now. Read the article for the interview. Your blood will boil even more.

Glad Ernst won. Now...shut up and vote for good judges. If any are ever nominated again.

You will never see a Democrat senator accuse Biden of stealing the election.

Two great comments back to back...I cashiered the GOP, as far as membership goes, when GHW Bush "41" had his "no new taxes" brain fart. When it comes to the likes of Ernst, Romney, Sasse etc. an occasional moment of mental clarity enables them to be somewhat useful- as in SCOTUS votes. The Rats are twisted, seditious, and ate up with socialism; but damn if they ain't organized. Fighters like Reagan and Trump at the head of the GOP is a thirty to forty year wait.

These feckless, spineless politicians will be eating crow sushi in the near future. They will be groveling in shame before the feet of President Trump. Great are you Lord and greatly to be praised.

Americans would like to believe they are voting for the best and brightest this nation has produced thru its massive investments in venerable institutions of higher learning and such.

Boy, are they getting a dose of reality about now.

If you do not confront evil and wrongdoing, you lose. period. She looks like Amy Klobuchar’s sister and apparently feeels like one too.

With a crown jewel like that we don’t need to see anything worse.

“ Democrats are good at circling the wagons Republicans are not.”

Democrats are corrupt and evil.

Republicans are corrupt and cowardly.

Hey, Joner Boner, Republicans doubt the system down in Georgia and may not be as inclined to vote there because . . . wait for it . . . the SoS basically just threw the recount to Biden.

See, Joner, that wasn’t hard to figure out!
