Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) on Sunday bashed former President Barack Obama’s handling of Ebola, a viral disease that two Americans died from, but praised President Trump’s response to the coronavirus as cases surge in several cities.
When pressed by CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday morning about whether she’d criticize Trump now that almost 130,000 Americans died from the coronavirus — given how she criticized Obama during her Senate run in 2014 by accusing him of “failed leadership” on Ebola — Ernst replied that “we all have responsibility in stopping the spread” before emphasizing the importance of mask-wearing and social distancing.

The fear in her eyes, at what might happen if she criticized Trump, was palpable.

MAJ Ken Landgren - If they do their jobs they have nothing to fear. The same could have been said about Obama. He was even more ruthless when it came to loyalty, but I guess you would not want to admit or recognize that. Obama was ruthless when it came to "leakers". Oh, that is who you and other anti-americans would call whistle blowers today. If they aren't doing their jobs then they should lose them. That's been the problem since I was in the military in 1984. Civilians/bureaucrats have long been virtually untouchable in the government system even as they poorly performed their jobs. It was almost impossible to relieve them.
