Joe Scarborough criticized Senator Joni Ernst for her insensitive response regarding Medicaid cuts in Iowa. After facing backlash for joking about death during a town hall, Ernst released a mock apology from a graveyard, further igniting controversy. Scarborough pointed out the severity of the situation, noting that cuts to Medicaid would significantly impact children and seniors in Iowa, labeling Ernst’s comments as 'clueless' and highlighting a troubling disconnect between politicians and the realities faced by their constituents.
Rather than retreat, Ernst leaned in further over the weekend, releasing an Instagram Story video in which she mockingly apologized from a graveyard.
During Monday morning's show, Scarborough slammed the senator as clueless and attacked the video for making jokes while senior citizens have their Medicaid gutted.
When Joni Ernst is asked what she's going to do about the fact that maybe 40% of children in the state of Iowa... are going to be impacted by Medicaid cuts, her response is: Well, we're all going to die anyway.
This is, I'm sure Webster's dictionary wants to kind of use video in the future. Put that next to clueless, because that's what these Republicans are right now.
