Sen. Ernst Trashes Sidney Powell: "Offensive" To Insinuate Republicans, Democrats Paid To Rig System

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."

Darn, I thought she was one of the good ones. This is disappointing, to say the least.

“I have fought for my country.”

Well, continue to do so and act like you care about the USA, dammit. We are in the midst of a communist revolution. If we don’t defeat it, “your country” is gone for good.

Isn’t this the same witch who endorsed the amnesty Flake from Arizona?
