2025-05-31 After public criticism for her calloused remarks on Medicaid cuts, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst made a sarcastic video while trolling through a graveyard, adding, “I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that, yes we are all going to perish from this earth. So, I apologize, and I’m really really glad that I didn’t have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well…” and then ended it with, “…for those that would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ”.
