To impugn one's integrity, that person must have integrity first.

Alas this is a problem for #Iowa voters: They have now seen what #JodiErnst thinks of their concerns and how little she values their lives. If they feel that she is still their choice going forward, then that is their choice but ultimately reflective on them as a state and as a people. 10/10

Furthermore, I don't think flexing your religion which is based on the son of God feeding and healing the masses out of empathy and compassion is a good idea when telling people to die faster so rich people can pay less taxes. More tone-deafness I guess... 9/10

#SenatorErnst encapsulates this concept of evil IMO by making it clear that not only does she not empathize with her constituents concerns about a real life or death issue, but then took the time to mock such concern by comparing it to fairy tales. 8/10

For context, Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials is quoted as saying "Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” I have yet in my near 40 years of life found anything more fitting to describe the concept of Evil. 7/10

Which brings us to the video at the start which I'm assuming at this point isn't some AI generated turbo slop. This isn't just doubling down, it's a condescending non-apology and in my opinion an exceedingly evil one. 6/10

Of course you would assume a response should be to sincerely apologize and/or try to explain or walk back what was said. It's either that or you release no statement and just ignore it, if that's your sincere belief and you feel it requires no explanation, why elaborate? 5/10

So #SenatorErnst decided to produce the above video in response to the negative attention she's received because it is inevitable that the original clip is going to be used by her political opponents going forward. 4/10

Now to be clear, I'm pretty sure we are not living in some fantasy where no one dies ever which is why her constituent remarked that cutting these programs will kill people: With these programs, the people who need them would live longer lives compared to just suffering without treatment. 3/10

So in a nutshell, #Republican #Senator #JodiErnst at a town hall remarked that we are all going to die eventually in response to a constituent pointing out that cutting government funded healthcare programs would result in people dying. 2/10

Really now? The fight you shy away from while you vote for Trump's unqualified nominees? Give me a break and just resign, let someone who actually walks the walk do the job.

Did you wake up this morning deciding to be a dumb as fuck fascist asskisser or did you aspire to be one from a young age?

Yeah I saw that too, absolutely nuts.
