Let Them Die: Joni Ernst’s Medicaid Shrug

Let Them Eat Cake: Part Deux

“We’re all going to die,” she said.

That was Senator Joni Ernst’s response when an Iowa woman shouted, “People are going to die!” — concerned that the GOP’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” would slash Medicaid, leaving people without healthcare.

And without healthcare? People do die.

The senator shrugged.

Laughed.

Then filmed a follow-up — from a cemetery.

You can’t make this up.

What’s behind the joke? $1 trillion in cuts that could gut healthcare for the poor, disabled, elderly, and working families. And Ernst’s answer tells us everything:

If you die because you couldn’t afford coverage, it’s not her concern.

If you’re not in her tax bracket, you’re not in her moral calculus.

Your death is just another talking point — and she’s already moved on.
