GOP Senator Blames Dems For Trump's Poor Polling On Immigration

Republican Senator Joni Ernst somehow managed not to be struck by lightning when insisting Democrats are to blame for the lack of immigration reform.

By Heather — March 9, 2026

Republican Senator Joni Ernst somehow managed not to be struck by lightning when insisting Democrats are to blame for the lack of immigration reform. Ernst made an appearance on this weekend's Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy, and was asked about the fact that Trump and Republicans are in the toilet on the issue of immigration and what they could do about it.

Rather than admit maybe it's because people are repulsed by the Trump's administration's cruel tactics and that he lied about who he's going after, Ernst pretended Democrats were the ones that refused to negotiate on immigration reform, when it's her party that has blown up those negotiations time after time.

GOWDY: All right, Senator, let me ask you about immigration generally. Most Americans want criminals deported, but not the folks who work in farming. construction, and they've stayed out of trouble.

... that some Republican women seem to be even more bloodthirsty than their spineless male counterparts. Ernst bragged about slaughtering hogs; Noem got off on killing a puppy and a baby goat. How many more do we not know about?
