Joni Ernst Tells Hillary to Focus on Women’s Issues, Like ‘Strong Nat’l Defense’
Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), whos been auditioning for the role of Iowa king/queenmaker in the 2016 GOP primary, told putative Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton that the candidates gender mattered less than her focus on womens issues which, according to Ernst, included a strong national defense.
The comment was a reference to one of Clintons from last falls midterm, in which Clinton told Ernst its not enough to be a woman, days before Ernst won her election.
Hillary, its not enough to be a woman, you have to care about womens issues, Ernst said. Womens issues here in Iowa are that we have a strong economy, we have jobs that our sons and daughters can go off to some day. We have a great education system. And women want strong national defense. We want to know that our families are going to be safe.
