Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst is one of five senators at the center of a new six-figure ad campaign knocking the Republicans for aligning themselves with the Trump Administration and refusing to call witnesses to testify at his impeachment trial.

Majority Forward, a D.C.-based political non-profit, will run two 30-second ads statewide in Iowa, North Carolina, Maine, Arizona and Colorado to speak out against Sens. Ernst, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, Martha McSally and Cory Gardner.

“Senate Republicans have broken their oath of impartiality and their promise to the American people by playing along with Mitch McConnell’s cover-up,” said J.B. Poersch, president of Senate Majority PAC, in a statement. “By refusing to get the facts and demand a fair trial from the onset, Senate Republicans are putting party politics over principle..............................................................


As a senator, the ad points out that Ernst “took an oath to be impartial in the impeachment trial, but refusing to allow the admission of: new evidence, witnesses, relevant documents, is looking out for Joni Ernst, not us.”.....................................
