1. She's endured a lot from the MAGA crowd and is about to spew forward. GOOD.

I can't say I liked her, but like MTG, go forward and expose the hell out of them!

[Lovie777]

2. shithole and administration have been....

crapping on the military and not a peep from her.

[MineralMan]

3. Hegseth is Major Major Major.

And from the National Guard, at that.

[NNadir]

7. Joseph Heller's best name in Catch-22! Excellent reference.

[Hey Joe]

20. Well, he's a major asshole!

He’s even received his asshole commendation
medal with turd clusters.

[dalton99a]

4. The Fox News host is a well-known liar.

[Ars Longa]

5. Wow! Finally she does something

halfway-praiseworthy on her way out the door. i think she's trying
to redeem herself for voting for him in the first place.

[Submariner]

6. Is this that AI sh*t?

When did this happen. How come its narrated and we don't hear Joni Ernst speaking her words.

[orangecrush]

9. I checked

It appears that there is an AI video.

I can't find any verifiable record of this exchange.

[Emile]

11. I always thought it was Rep. Nancy Mace leading that specific charge.

[IcyPeas]

23. Yes. Here is actual footage:

[edhopper]

28. I did not hear her

call him out.
Where was that?

[ToxMarz]

29. If it really happened there would be no reason for the entire clip to be narrated. We could have just heard the actual

exchange. A Senate hearing isn't subject to copyright infringement. And, a simple Youtube seach would turn up endless clips of the same interaction. It turns up NONE. But it doesn't have to be AI, that is actual footage of the hearing with someone (real or artificial) reading a false script. It can be fake without being AI, and Ai doesn't have to be untrue. Unfortunatley though, AI is and excellent tool for creating fakes and spreading lies, so what can you do.

[IcyPeas]

31. See actual clip below

[Aviation Pro]

8. He was a failed infantry officer

No CAB for you, tabless beyotch.

[angrychair]

10. I don't like the lady

But respect her because she earned her CAB. Sen. Duckworth earned her CAB. Kegseth is a pretender. A liar.
Kegseth, the self-loathing drunk, is a fraud that has never experienced what those women experienced.

Like the women he has kicked out of leadership positions and made 2nd class citizens in the military they serve with honor.

Fuck that loser.

[orangecrush]

12. I love your posts but

You need to fact check this.

Can't find any mainstream news verification of this exchange.

There is an AI generated video.

[Ocelot II]

13. I couldn't find an original video of her actual words.

I did find a Youtube video with the same content as the one in the OP, which briefly showed the caveat "Altered or synthetic content," but that's it. I found no other references to this alleged incident anywhere on the Internet. Ernst did criticize him at a hearing in which she is wearing the same clothes and hairdo as in the OP video, for firing Gen. Randy George. I think this is fake.

[progressoid]

19. Same.

N/T

[IcyPeas]

25. Here is actual footage:

[Ocelot II]

30. Yes, that's the video I found, which the one in the OP is evidently made out of using AI.

The post really should be deleted, since apparently this never happened at all. Hegseth is bad enough without making stuff up.

[mopinko]

15. please either verify this or delete.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

16. This looks a lot like AI to me.

There would bs real soundbites if this actually took place. I don't believe Joni Ernst would piss off Trump by doing this.

[IcyPeas]

27. Here:

[Raven123]

17. I call BS. She voted to confirm Hegseth. She is not running for re-election

The rest is too late and irrelevant.

[LR3]

18. The same Joni Ernst that voted to confirm him?

Whether this particular clip is real or AI, fuck her for voting to confirm him in the first place. She owns this catastophe.

[Pinback]

21. This includes only images of Ernst and Hegseth with a (possibly AI-rendered) narrator's voice

and, as others have pointed out, the whole thing looks suspiciously like AI with little if any basis in fact. I’d love to be proven wrong, so I hope you or someone else will come up with video of the actual exchange.

Is this verbiage in the Congressional Record?

[IcyPeas]

22. ACTUAL VIDEO FROM HEARING

[orleans]

26. lol - i didn't see your post when i posted this two minutes later.

i'm keeping my post up == maybe between the two of our posts someone will notice she doesn't seem to be upset w/him at all

[orleans]

24. here's a REAL video of ernst

she sounds like, generally, she is happy as a pos with him

[Ocelot II]

32. You need to delete this. It's fake; this never happened.
