People Truly Can't Believe The Location This Republican Senator Chose To Film Her "Apology"
I'm sure you've heard of Iowa Senator Joni Ernst's "we all are going to die" thing. She held a townhall on Thursday, and a clip of her comments about SNAP and Medicaid cuts went viral: At her town hall, when the crowd says people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, Joni Ernst responds "well we all are going to die." #iasen — danny (@dabbs346) May 30, 2025 ABC/dabbs346/Twitter: @dabbs346 Someone from the crowd shouted, "People are going to die," and Joni responded, "Well, we all are going to die." FWIW, The Hill reported she went on to say that Republicans would protect Medicaid for "the most vulnerable." She also said, "SNAP overpayments that the states have been making will need to stop," and "When you are arguing about illegals that are receiving Medicaid benefits, 1.4 million, they're not eligible, so they will be coming off." ANYWAY, this whole thing kind of blew up. People are calling this "one of the worst politician quotes" they've ever heard. And people are joking: "New GOP slogan: 'We're all gonna die!'"

Senator Ernst decided to issue an "apology" that isn't really an apology at all. Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse — Keith Edwards (@keithedwards) May 31, 2025 joniernst/Twitter: @keithedwards "Hello everyone, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for a statement that I made yesterday at my town hall," she said. "See, I was in the process of answering a question that was asked by an audience member when a woman who was extremely distraught screamed out from the back of the auditorium, 'People are going to die.' And 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 did not have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well. But for those that would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my Lord and savior Jesus Christ."

"I'm at a loss for words..." one person said. Another person encouraged her to keep digging in, "Keep posting through it Joni you're almost there." And this person joked, "Leave the tooth fairy out of this, you monster." But the #1 thing people can't believe is the location where she recorded it. It appears that she's walking through a cemetery. "I'm sorry... is she walking through a cemetery as she makes this?" one person asked. Another person said, "No way that Joni Ernst apology video can be real is she in a cemetery." And this person gave her a new nickname: "Senator Grim Reaper." Thoughts?
