I think you have it backwards.

The libtard shows are scrounging for the likes of her and Graham.

Krispy Kreme is no longer the favorite Sunday morning RINO, now that he’s withdrawn from contention.

That means that they need to find another uni-party slug like Joni Ernst to trash DJT.

Isn’t Neo-Con Nikki enough?

Joni Ernst, the ever useful idot for the Left. She is always there when the MSM/Left need someone to trot out.

No one on the other side can explain how holding the January 6th suspects in jail for years, often in solitary confinement is not a violation of the 6th amendment guarantee of a speedy trial and the 8th amendment prohibitions on excessive bail, excessive fines and cruel and unusual punishment. The trial should be "we you in the Capitol against the rules? Did you commit any violence? OK, $100 fine and a year of probation. Next!" Instead, the Deep State is trying to make clear that no one from the right is allowed to protest even if the left is burning down cities unpunished.

Consider that Jefferson Davis, the greatest insurrectionist since Satan himself (eyeroll), was only held without bail for two years before he was allowed out and then later pardoned.

DeSantis is being pushed by the Republican global elite. Nikki and that other Indian foreigner are being funded and pushed by the Democrats.

None of the three can win, and the elites know it. They do not want a Republican win.

"You obviously know the difference between those convicted of crimes related to January 6 and hostages."

Nice slight of hand, mockingbird. How many have had a trial yet?

On a competing show, the guests were Asa Hutchinson and that Sununu fellow from New Hampshire. No doubt they’re on there to trash Trump.

I don’t think those guys are “hostages.”

I do wonder if other people arrested that day (not affiliated with J6) and who were denied bail have been waiting as long?

I don’t understand why they were not provided the opportunity for bail. But the delays in court dates are more a demonstration of the “justice” system in this country. That doesn’t make them “hostages.” It makes “not special.”

“I prefer the term political prisoners.”

That’s exactly what they are. The entire exorcise is to frighten everyone else into silence.

She’s a RINO establishment politician.

The hawg castrator “Joni” has had her head up Mitch McConnell’s arse since she first took office. She is a power hungry opportunist.

Like with most of President Trump’s he is absolutely right.

That is probably not something she thinks about a lot (or ever) and not something she expected to be asked about.

It looks to me like it could be a set up: the topic is hostages in Gaza, and then a sudden pivot to Jan 6th. Ernst calls Trump’s comment bothersome, because he wants to get back to what she was there to talk about.

If you’re here at freerepublic, you may think: automatically defend Donald Trump. If you’re a politician you have calculations and assessment to make that you can’t make on the spot.

Because they can't. They ignore it all together, either because they know its wrong and win't admit it, or worse, are all for it and pretend otherwise to mislead others.

The Sunday shows will only allow Liz types on the air. Unfortunately there are many to pick from. The rats do not allow this, period.

We don’t need any new stinkin’ parties. Notice all of the GOPe retirements? If we do our jobs and send them more conservative help, the more reprobates like Joni, Susan and Linda GrahAMNESTY will find other places to screw-up.
