This woman won the Republican primary years ago because of her infamous 30-second ad "Squeal." The spot showed Ernst bragging about castrating hogs on the farm where she grew up: "So when I get to Washington, I’ll know how to cut pork,” she said. The ad showed images of squealing pigs, then her punchline. “Washington is full of big spenders. Let’s make ’em squeal.”

Depressing to think that we live in a time where stupid ads are the most effective.

Evidently, Joni Ernst thought that the constituent was making a philosophical statement when she shouted "people are going to die!"

How do you deal with somebody who's that stupid and in a position of power?
