Corruption Convention: Joni Ernst Has Yet to “Make ‘Em Squeal”

Aug 26, 2020

After promising to “make ‘em squeal” in her 2014 campaign, comparing overspending in Congress and Washington donors to hogs, Ernst has done anything but.

In her first term alone, she’s collected over $2 million in corporate PAC contributions. A dark money group, Iowa Values, also illegally worked in concert with Ernst to boost her re-election campaign. Meanwhile, Theresa Greenfield is rejecting corporate PAC money and proving to Iowans that she’ll put them first in Congress.

Now how’s that for actually making ‘em squeal!
