Bohlken: Greenfield Falsely Accuses Iowa’s Healthcare Workers of Systemic Racism

Theresa Greenfield has falsely accused Iowa’s healthcare workers of systemic racism, saying that Blacks in general and Black women specifically have a six times higher mortality rate than any other community.

The press has given her a pass.

The Senate Majority PAC ran a vicious attack ad against U.S. Senator Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, suggesting that her comments, later modified, indicated that she has doubts about the accuracy of the COVID-19 death count. The ad says this shows that Senator Ernst is “spreading lies that attack frontline health care workers.” The Des Moines Register also gave her a “thistle” for her comments.

Can't stand Greenfield, her ads, her lies, and anything else about her. If she wins, she will toe the Democrat line. The only thing the Democrats have left is the race card.

Maybe she can explain why blacks get sickle cell anemia at a much higher rate than whites. It must be racism.

Greenfield is vile. Her ads make me want to throw up. She has no qualifications and she plays on sympathy for having lost a husband and for brownie points because she has a son in the service. She also claims she will work with Republicans and Democrats, which is a blatant lie.

“. . . Black women specifically have a six times higher mortality rate than any other community.”

I remember when it was one per person regardless.

Unhealthy lifestyle choices are racist.

From what I’ve seen they have a fourteen-thousand times higher rate of morbid obesity than any other community, along with a ten-thousand times higher rate of spandex pants-wearing.

“along with a ten-thousand times higher rate of spandex pants-wearing”

I suspected that spandex pants-wearing could be fatal to onlookers, but I didn’t know it could be deadly to the offenders.
