This left me speechless:
x Apparently, she decided her original callousness and arrogance wasn’t enough. — Steven Beschloss (@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social) 2025-05-31T21:39:27.648Z
Here is a link to a Des Moines Register article on the above.
I’m a very sarcastic guy. A lot of people don’t like sarcasm because it can be considered a low form of humor that is cutting. And it’s very easy for sarcasm to bomb.
What Jodi Ernst did with this video was not sarcasm. It’s like some Medieval nobleman’s act of cruelty before sentencing some peasant to death. She’s a powerful woman who feels that the rest of us need to taste her shit and literally die.
What she did the first time with her “We are all going to die” comment was insulting and enraging. She should have stopped right there. But no. Ernst is going to show the rest of us what she truly thinks of the little people.
Ernst’s latest cruel attempt at sarcasm is nothing but her showing absolute contempt for anyone not like her. What else do you call someone who compares death to the Tooth Fairy, WHILE WALKING THROUGH A GRAVEYARD! Then, she decides to smear some kind of icing filled with bile and poison on top of this grotesque mockery. Ernst invokes one of the greatest symbols of empathy, compassion and love that neighbor to cover her sadism: Jesus Christ is her savior.
I’m glad the Des Moines Register didn’t mince any words in their reporting. I’m sure the NYT will bury this story and say it’s just “controversial.” And what is truly infuriating is that most Iowan Republican voters will not be offended by Ernst’s comments and still vote for this POS.
Republican voters worship at the altar of a death cult.
I pray that some Democrats will get off their collective asses and attack Ernst everyday from now and until the midterms. I’m sure Chuck Schumer will send her a tough letter demanding Ernst apologize. That’s sarcasm, by the way.
