Liberal Iowa political group slams Joni Ernst response to State of the Union speech

DES MOINES – Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) delivered the Republican rebuttal to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday night, and liberals are fuming at her message.

In response, Matt Sinovic, Executive Director of Progress Iowa – a liberal Iowa political group – issued the following statement:

“Senator Ernst’s response to the State of the Union tonight was all squeal, no substance. Ernst should have spent more of her time outlining detailed policy solutions, but instead offered zero new ideas because she knows her positions are incredibly unpopular with everyday Iowans and Americans.”

“Tonight Senator Ernst had a chance to represent Iowa and lead in a bipartisan manner, but unfortunately she spoke only in platitudes and refused to distance herself from her fringe views.”

“Senator Ernst spoke about Americans struggling with low wages, but she supports abolishing the federal minimum wage.”

“Senator Ernst spoke about her education, but she would abolish the Department of Education, ending the student loans she used to attend college.”

“Senator Ernst attacked the Affordable Care Act, but offered no alternative except repealing it and removing health coverage from 10 million Americans.”

“Senator Ernst’s hollow response tonight is just further proof that she is as extreme as we feared, and that we are in for a long six years with her in office.”

Progress Iowa is a statewide, multi-issue organization focused on research, education and advocacy regarding Iowa public policy.
