Joni Ernst Town Hall Parkersburg, Iowa 5/30/2025

The event took place at 7:30 AM continuing the MAGA mode of holding town halls in small towns at very inconvenient times.
The sound quality is pretty bad.
The incident where she says "we're all going to die" starts in the 42nd minute.
At the end a man with a helping dog tries to get a question in but he is ignored as Joni makes a quick exit
1 hour long:

Just die already! Her statement should be a repuke slogan. "We're all going to die someday." Yes we are. And the repukes embrace that. And they want to make it happen sooner rather than later.
