[634-5789]

The Iowa senator first ducked an important question, then blamed an audio glitch when she got it wrong.

1. Lol, she needs to get her AgDay on.

2. JFC!

These lying republicans just simply can not help themselves. Cheating, prevaricating, obfuscating is just a way of life. If they would spend just a tenth of their time helping their constituents instead of being evil dick-heads......

6. Precisely

It seems to be in their DNA.

3. Of course she did.. she obviously has Nothing

to offer but greasy Lies.. and insults.

5. Right!

And it can't possibly be HER fault!

Aloha, Cha!

8. 😊

Still pumped up from voting yesterday.

Hru?

4. Oy vey. Soybeans are big in Iowa. And related to China tariffs.

So it was a fair question and she should have been able to discuss it. What is worse is that she didn't own up to not knowing the price and at least saying why it is important. Isn't she the pig farmer? Geez!

9. And Ernst tried to claim Theresa Greenfield didn't answer either...another lie.

In fact, Theresa Greenfield answered the question asked of her (about the prices of corn) and not only did she know all about the prices involving corn and she then went on to explain the impact corn prices are having on Iowa farmers.

Ernst has a commercial running now that portrays her as the Queen of Agriculture. What a fraud!

Joni Ernst is a dumbass. And a lazy one at that.

10. When you know you look like an uninformed nitwit

you can always fall back on hissing a reference to New York and California. Bring up Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi... yeah, that'll help.

The right has made "E pluribus unum" a tragic bit of irony.

11. "Why Didn't They Ask Me About How To Arrange Hors d'Oeuvre Trays? I Could Have NAILED That!" nt

[marble falls]

12. Jebus. How does anyone live anywhere in Iowa and not know the price of corn, soy and cattle ...

feeder calves, hogs ... its on the radio every half hour. That and who's in the hospital.

[Wounded Bear]

13. "What you feed them has nothing to do with castrating them..."

[paleotn]

14. Lie, lie and lie some more...

When that's all you've got, that's all you've got. Hopefully, a majority of Iowa voters will see through the web of lies.

15. Good heavens, she sounds just like Sarah Palin.

Along with the habitual lying, she has the same annoying mannerisms and the same goofy fake smile, also, too.
