Wow.
Huffington Post:
Joni Ernst, the Republican candidate for U.S.
Senate in Iowa, said... she would use a gun to defend herself from the
government.
"I have a beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9
millimeter, and it goes with me virtually everywhere," Ernst said... "I believe
in the right to defend myself... from the government, should they decide that my
rights are no longer important."
This extremist could win a U.S. Senate
seat that's currently Democratic. Polls show her 1% ahead of progressive champ
Bruce Braley.
You have a choice: Let this happen or... help
DEFEAT Joni Ernst. Can you donate to Bruce Braley's campaign?
It's not like someone's playing "gotcha" here. As
Huffington Post also reported:
Earlier this year, Ernst released an ad [pictured
above] in which she points a gun at the camera and vows to "unload” on
Obamacare.
The Washington Post asks:
Is she saying that when law enforcement officers
come to arrest her on some trumped-up charge, instead of submitting and fighting
the charges in court she'll shoot those officers? Who else is an appropriate
target here? Members of Congress who pass laws taking away her rights? FBI
agents? Who?
The problem with this new quote is that it borders
on anti-democratic... If you think that the way to resolve policy differences...
is... through the use of violence against the government, you have announced
that you have no commitment to democracy. In the American system, we don't say
that if the government enacts policies we don't like, we'll start killing
people.
Progressive champion Bruce Braley is just one
point behind Joni Ernst. He and our country need our help now.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
