Statewide Iowa — Iowa Senator Joni Ernst, a Republican from Red Oak, is not pleased with Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s action to tear up a copy of the President’s speech right after he finished the State of the Union.
Ernst says it was not appropriate.
Some of the trying times that Ernst refers to is the impeachment hearings. She says she will vote against impeachment when it comes before the U.S. Senate.
Ernst was also asked about the issues with the Iowa Caucuses during her weekly conference call with reporters. She says she doesn’t buy into any conspiracy theories about what happened.
She says the Iowa Caucuses are still important in the selection of the president.
Ernst says she will continue to defend the process because she believes it puts the candidates through a rigorous test with all the questions they face in the state.
