During a town hall meeting in Iowa, Senator Joni Ernst faced vocal backlash from constituents regarding President Trump's tax bill, which threatens significant Medicaid funding cuts. When confronted about potential deaths if the bill is enacted, Ernst's response was dismissive, suggesting 'we're all going to die.' Following the backlash, she issued a condescending apology via a recorded message, implying that her constituents should understand mortality and encouraging religious faith as a solution, further aggravating the situation. This incident highlights the disconnect between politicians and their constituents' concerns.
People will die if this bill passes in Ernst's chamber.
I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that yes, we are all going to perish from this earth.
