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."

“Offensive” = Traitorous.
“Dignified Manner”
Republican senator Joni Ernst is accused of cheating on her husband with a soldier, ‘lying out nude on the patio’ and dating men in D.C. while she was married - but she says her ex was a violent cheat
Bush League Republican showing her true colors.
Total avoidance of the question, ‘Is it happening?’
‘Don’t look at the evidence or the accusation. Just observe my OUTRAGE!’
What is it with this woman? Every now and then she goes totally off the rails.
Truth hurts, don’t it, Joni? Looks to me like Sen. Ernst paid her sacrifice at the Big Tech Altar so she could provide token GOP representation in the upcoming Democrat Senate.
Now we know how she pulled out a seemingly miraculous win earlier this month.
One of the perps.
Funny how it is the GOP who comes out to refute Powell. Funny also she uses emotion instead of logic.
All the Deep State worms are crawling out of the mud. Plan is working.
Iowa naive....
It is absolutely rigged and instead of indignation , get out your M-4 , girl....
It’s time for bayonets, not hand wringing
“1960: John F. Kennedy vs. Richard Nixon
Earl Mazo, a Washington reporter for the New York Herald Tribune, began his investigation after he said Chicago reporters were “chastising” him and other national reporters for missing the real story.
He traveled to Chicago, obtained a list of voters in the suspicious precincts, and began matching names with addresses. Mazo told The Washington Post:
There was a cemetery where the names on the tombstones were registered and voted. I remember a house. It was completely gutted. There was nobody there. But there were 56 votes for [John F.] Kennedy in that house.
Mazo also found that Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s charge that other counties were doing the same thing in favor of Republicans proved to be true—but nothing on the scale of what happened in Chicago.
In Texas, Mazo found similar circumstances.
The New York Herald Tribune planned a 12-part series on the election fraud. Four of the stories had been published and were republished in newspapers across the country in mid-December.
At Richard Nixon’s request, Mazo met him at the vice president’s Senate office, where Nixon told him to back off, saying, “Our country cannot afford the agony of a constitutional crisis” in the midst of the Cold War.
Mazo didn’t back off, and Nixon called his editors. The newspaper did not run the rest of the series. “I know I was terribly disappointed. I envisioned the Pulitzer Prize,” Mazo said.
The entire matter wasn’t void of accountability.
Illinois state special prosecutor Morris Wexler, named to investigate charges of election fraud in Chicago, indicted 677 election officials, but couldn’t nail down convictions with state Judge John Karns.
It wasn’t until 1962, when an election worker confessed to witness tampering in Chicago’s 28th Ward, that three precinct workers pleaded guilty and served jail sentences.
Pulitzer-winning journalist Seymour Hersh reported hearing tapes of FBI wiretaps about potential election fraud. Hersh—whose books indicate he is a fan of neither Kennedy nor Nixon—believed Nixon was the rightful winner.

Oh politicians can just go to hell.
What is she defending, the noble brotherhood of politicians?
These people are just ridiculous.
We should all deny flawed human nature which obviously leads many people to cheat.
"The President has a right to challenge what he believes may be fraud. There are clear anomalies and questions about the election. We will see what the conclusion is in court. Next question"
She’s not on the team and has no idea what they have uncovered. She needs to shut up. You people in her state need to call her and let her know
Trump campaigned for her. Now this. Shame on you.
Well, Joni, you are half(assed) correct.
Why do you think so many democrat-base elections workers are coming forward?
Over 220 affidavits of fraud in Michigan.
It’s because they initially thought that their candidate of choice would /earn/ the win against OMB.
Now, seeing the extend of the fraud, could with the sheer SIZE of the difference that was falsely generated, they don’t want to be assiciated with it.
They would still vote Dem today.
But, being of forthright heart, they could not soothe their conscience of this level of fraud THEY participated in.
The time tested response to politicians:
“The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Conduct of Life: A Philosophical Reading
The Democrats have been promoting voter fraud for decades, from opposition to voter id laws to open immigration. There’s really nothing new here at all.
