Joni Ernst: ‘We Are Going to Make ‘Em Squeal!’

Joni Ernst: ‘We Are Going to Make ‘Em Squeal!’ State Sen. Joni Ernst defeated Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA) here, likely becoming the Republican pickup that handed the GOP control of the Senate. Ernst emerged from relative obscurity in March with a television ad that made her instantly famous, introducing herself as someone who grew up “castrating hogs on an Iowa farm” to make a point about cutting government pork barrel spending. “Thanks to all of you we are heading to Washington, and we are going to make ’em squeal!” Ernst said in a victory speech here.

Fox News called the race for Cotton pretty quickly — he leads 52 to 45, at the moment. That’s got to be a disappointment for Clinton, who urged voters to push President Obama out of their minds, because he’ll… View Article
