“While I’m out there talking to folks about these 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.” – Sen. Joni Ernst, in a conference call with Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Down in the polls & running a campaign w/ no message, @joniernst pivots to attacking @GreenfieldIowa for *checks notes* taking selfies with her beloved pet dog?!?!
Ernst even mentioned Theresa’s dog Ringo by name!? ? #IASen pic.twitter.com/1Ct6Vtuofq

UNBELIEVABLE! @JoniErnst, who yesterday REFUSED to answer reporters’ questions if she agreed with #Trump that the Election should be postponed, is now attacking her opponent’s (@GreenfieldIowa) dog #Ringo! How desperate can you get? My dogs Odie & Chester say #IStandWithRingo pic.twitter.com/xI88oJVjTs

This is especially weird/sad from @joniernst because Ringo is a VERY good boy. #IASen #IStandWithRingo #RingoGate pic.twitter.com/QXu5GdC9pv
