GOP Senator Defends Controversial ‘We All Die’ Comment
Following constituent outcry over proposed GOP legislation slashing Medicaid and food assistance, Senator Joni Ernst offered a dismissive, insensitive response at a town hall. Subsequently, she issued a widely criticized “non-apology,” minimizing her remarks and ultimately promoting her religious beliefs in a video filmed in a cemetery. The legislation in question includes a trillion-dollar reduction in vital health and nutrition programs, impacting millions of Americans’ access to healthcare. This controversy highlights the stark contrast between the bill’s massive tax cuts benefiting the wealthy and its devastating impact on vulnerable populations.
