She is lying. "Illegals" don't use Medicaid. She is contemptible.
Undocumented people don't GET these benefits! Plus, if they're working, they're paying INTO Social Security but they will never be able to collect it. Did Ernst go to college? To high school? How can she be so uninformed? Or so tone deaf?!
If they are not eligible, then they are not on it. You need identification and a social security number to get Medicaid. People who snuck across the border and hiding from ICE aren't going to government building to apply for healthcare
I hope her constituents remembers what she said and vote her out. This woman is no Christian!!
Elon is leaving because he got what he came for..., our data.
Old farts, like me, can only shake our head in total disbelief what this country has become and not just politically.
Joni Ernst’s disrespect towards her constituents is truly astounding, wow, just wow!
Those immigrants were never ON benefits.
America is being destroyed by two spoiled rich heirs who never had to work a day in their lives.
If everyone is going to die, why bother giving tax cuts to rich people?
This is such a "Let them eat cake" moment.
That was the most insincere apology I’ve ever heard.
I hope we get a chance to apologize to Joni Ernst in 2026 over the loss of her job to someone far more qualified to represent the people.
It also isn't all about dying. People don't want to go 30K in debt for an ER visit. Or lose their house because they have a child with cystic fibrosis.
Remember "Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness?" Without proper health care no one has life, Joni.
1 TRUMPIANS 13:13 "Vanity, greed, hate...but the greatest of these is hate."
In 2014, when asked about President Barack Obama's recess appointments, Ernst called Obama a "dictator" who should be "removed from office" or face "impeachment".[117] She said, "He is running amok. He is not following our Constitution."[117][118] Later in 2014, Ernst criticized Obama's handling of the Ebola outbreak.[119] Wiki
I'll never understand how some people can delight in cruelty the way she and the rest of them do. Trolling dying people.
You first, Joni. You first.
