#RingoGate: Ernst Targets Greenfield's Dog (IA-SEN)

Iowa Starting Line

The race for Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat took a turn for the silly on Friday when Theresa Greenfield’s campaign found out that Sen. Joni Ernst name-dropped Greenfield’s dog during a recent event as a way to criticize her opponent.

The morning began with Greenfield’s communications director highlighting an excerpt of a Caffeinated Thoughts article about the conference call with Sen. Lindsay Graham that took place on Wednesday.

In full, the offending paragraph reads: “Well, while I’m out there talking to folks about the Paycheck Protection Program opportunities, when I’m talking to them about supports needed in our rural health care system, when I’m talking about supports necessary for child care so that moms and dads can get back to work, she’s been hiding in her basement taking selfies with her dog Ringo. So, you know, she has not exhibited leadership throughout this entire process.”

I mean, they've only had two months since the Democrats passed their bill. What is this "leadership" you're pretending to, Joni? Sounds like baloney to me.

Also, I saw an episode of Dr. Pol's show on the NatGeo channel. They were castrating piglets, something you brag about. A lot. Turns out it's like popping a frozen pea. There's nothing to it. It's not hard at all. Can't imagine why you seem to think it's some remarkable achievement.
