Crooks & Liars reports:

In a Sunday interview on Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker asked Sen.

And so if former President Donald Trump is elected as our next president, he does have the right to do that.”

“These are people, though, who attacked the building that you were in,” Welker noted. “You called them insurrectionists at the time.” Ernst, however, insisted she had never used the word insurrectionists. But Welker pointed out that Ernst had called the Jan. 6 attacks an insurrection in a 2021 column for the Des Moines Register.
