It looks like Joni Ernst is busy digging her own political grave. Her behind-the-scenes war against Pete Hegseth has sparked a firestorm from MAGA, who were fed up with the RINO senator from Iowa long before she started attacking Trump’s nominees.
Many are shocked at Joni’s idiotic decision to go after Hegseth, and to nobody’s surprise, it’s backfiring spectacularly.
Let’s not forget—this is the same woman who eagerly pushed through Biden’s national security pick, the warmongering, midwit disaster, Lloyd Austin. You know, the guy who didn’t even bother to inform the White House that he was battling cancer and missing work during critical national security moments.
Her pushback against a patriotic, highly qualified, anti-war vet like Pete Hegseth, while giving a thumbs-up to a DEI disaster like Austin, is beyond infuriating.
According to official court documents, Joni Ernst isn’t exactly the picture of moral virtue. But that hasn’t stopped her from lapping up every baseless “anonymous rumor” tossed at Pete Hegseth. More on that later. Now, there are rumblings in DC that Joni isn’t even the one making most of these bad decisions—it’s her chief of staff. And that’s even worse, if true. It would show just how weak of a leader Joni really is, letting her subordinates call the shots and run the show…

1. Lloyd Austin as secretary of defense
2. Merrick Garland support
3. Transgenders in Military
4. Women in the draft, and combat roles
5. George Floyd support, condemning officers
6. Liz Cheney BFF
7. Anti-MAGA
8. Anti-Pete Hegseth
Lately, she’s been kissing up to Tulsi, Kash, and backtracking a bit on Hegseth.
Too little, too late, Joni.
We all see you. Primary this enemy of MAGA!
Don;t threaten her until AFTER SHE VOTES FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE!
I NEVER LIKED HER.
SHE USES HER MILITARY BACKGROUND AS A THREAT.
Please primary her
If she wasn’t threatened she would not vote for the Trump appointees. Her arrogance will tell her she can still rescue her career so she will give faux support as long as the heat is on her.
BTTT
She already knows she’s toast.
Twitter has absolutely ravaged her for days over the Hegseth issue. The Repubs in charge will demand her vote, and she’ll give it.
Heck, I wish Gaetz would make a comeback. Trump should get 100% of his choices. Screw anyone who opposes his picks.
“Her arrogance will tell her she can still rescue her career so she will give faux support as long as the heat is on her.”
How about she did her due diligence instead of blindly toting the party line? Plus, she is on board with Pete.
I checked out of politics a bit after 2020 and don’t live in Florida is Pam Bondi MAGa and trustworthy?
That's the ticket for all RINOSs.
ONLY because her back is against the wall. Why else would Ernst, who supports a Transgender Military, support a Pete who’s going to get rid of mentally ill gender Dysphoric soldiers?
It would take a strong republican willing to start a high stakes fight within the party. There are none. If Charlie Kirk were to move back to Iowa that would show we’re not f’in around.
What if Nancy Mace took on Linda? They’re the same but we need change for change sake(see Ernst).
Yep
I don’t think due diligence is in her wheelhouse.
She’s on board w/ Hegseth because of the pressure.
Trump deserves his chosen cabinet. These posturing popinjays who voted in Biden’s group of deviants and incompetents need to respect the People’s mandate aka election results and approve his choices. That’s not being in lockstep it’s their duty. This is not an opportunity for them to grandstand and virtue signal. I suggest before you champion Ernst and the other faux republicans you check their records. I posted links to Ernst’s record yesterday. She is a disgrace.

She has received large sums of money from lobbyists. For example, Ernst supported a healthcare group with regulatory issues, and in return, the group donated $4.7 Million to her charity.
Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst were winning elections in Iowa long before Donald Trump came on the scene and gave the GOP a culture of losing.
Hey lift-boy, the republican'ts created the culture of losing, they are the embodiment of it. They lost in 2022 because they failed to follow where Trump was trying to lead them, not because Trump is a loser. They were losing (or conveniently bending over whenever the democrats asked them to), for a very long time.
