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."

A Jodi. Perfect.

She should shut her traitorous piehole and be thankful she won.

Jodi Ernst.

Your welcome.

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

Note that she doesn’t deny the claim.

She’s tantruming lashing out because no doubt the GOP Senate got some bad poll numbers about Senate runoffs in GA.

That shows exactly the level of her character and her intelligence. 1.) She believes polls, that goes to intelligence. 2.) She has no concern and does not say anything about the repeat fraud about to be repeated in GA via mail-in ballots, that goes to character.

Thanks for bringing up ole cheating’ LBJ. Many of you are too young to remember this, but LBJ was one of the architects of Democratic voter fraud. He would have the sheriffs in Texas confiscate the ballot boxes and “miraculously” he would win in a landslide. LBJ was also the reason the US was involved in Viet Nam. Remember Bell helicopter? Ole’ Lyndon made tons from the military industrial complex. I’m sure he had something to do with the assassination of President Kennedy. By the way, Kennedy wasn’t in favor of getting involved in VN. So Democrats own the deaths of 53,000 American boys. How many more deaths will they facilitate?

Senator Joni Ernst hasn't been paying attention or she is part of the problem. Sidney Powell has been fighting for General Flynn in this same muck...Judge Sullivan is is using politics in a mean capricious manner...Powell has seen this enemy up close, she understands the corrupt power that permeates the radical left and will not let them push her around.

Ernst needs to step back and try to help not hinder.

Yeah, Joni— what if Sidney is right? What if it’s true, like for Gov. Kemp, and his lackey SOS, or even... quelle Horreur— YOU, Joni?

So, it’s just a matter of who pays the voter tabulators to skew the election... right? A battle of “interests” and money that has NOTHING TO DO WITH the US Constitution.

Party politics expressed by donors and grafters who pay Tammany elections type thugs to fake results.

As in— you barely squeaked through, BECAUSE of the intervention of the Trump Campaign, and yet you say THIS. Go say hi to Rubio, and Romney. And, the Chamber of Commerce.

Let Ms. Ernst go back to castrating pigs on her farm. She’s better suited to doing that than being an honest member of Congress.

She doesn’t know what the evidence shows so how can she denigrate the charges from a reputable attorney? She sounds like a typical politician.

First I have heard of her cheating ways.

I think in this election cycle, we have seen the true colors of many politicians.

Why is she more angry at someone for daring to speak the truth than at those who acted corruptly? Ernst doth protest too much, and should heed the old Russian proverb, “When the image is crooked, don’t blame the mirror”.
