Challenger Uses Ernst's 'Castrated Hogs' Ad Against Her




June 3, 2019 at 12:58 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

Washington Post: “On her way to capturing the Republican nomination in 2014, now-Sen. Joni Ernst released one of the most memorable ads of the cycle. In it, she bragged about having castrated hogs while growing up on an Iowa farm and pledged to use those pork-cutting skills to ‘make ’em squeal’ in Washington.”

“On Monday, a new Democratic challenger to Ernst sought to turn her words against her.”

Proclaims Theresa Greenfield (D) in a video announcing her 2020 Senate bid: “Listen folks, she didn’t castrate anyone. She cast a vote to let the corporate lobbyists keep feasting like hogs at the trough.”

A farm kid who happened to be a girl, and a family that did not allow her being a girl to define what role she would play in the world. Love this ad.

I don't mind paying my Social Security tax, and now I'm glad she was able to use SSI to get over her difficulties.
