Joni Ernst Caves To The Cult, Endorses Pete Hegseth

“I appreciate Pete Hegseth’s responsiveness and respect for the process. Following our encouraging conversations, Pete committed to completing a full audit of the Pentagon and selecting a senior official who will uphold the roles and value of our servicemen and women — based on quality and standards, not quotas — and who will prioritize and strengthen my work to prevent sexual assault within the ranks. As I support Pete through this process, I look forward to a fair hearing based on truth, not anonymous sources.” – Sen. Joni Ernst, after prominent cultists vowed to primary her and resurfaced claims of an adulterous affair.

Pete Hegseth wrote that women shouldn’t serve in military combat roles and faces accusations of sexual assault.

Sen. Joni Ernst doesn’t care — she’s abandoning her principles, bending the knee to Donald Trump and supporting his nominee to lead the Department of Defense. #IASen pic.twitter.com/bhmn5w61jU
