Here is the one hundred forty-seventh article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. The winner is Republican pseudo-Christian Senator Joni "Pig Nuts" Ernst [R-IA]. She is so honored for the extreme hypocrisy of divorcing her husband for blocking her her quest to become her Fuhrer’s VP.<\/font><\/p>\n

According to a divorce court filing, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) claims one of the reasons she wishes to part ways with her husband is because she believes he thwarted her ambition to become President Donald Trump\u2019s running mate in 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Guardian reports that Ernst\u2019s attorneys filed a supporting affidavit in her battle with her husband, Gail, stating, \u201cIn the summer of 2016, I was interviewed by Candidate Trump to be vice president of the United States. I turned Candidate Trump down, knowing it wasn\u2019t the right thing for me or my family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI continued to make sacrifices and not soar higher out of concern for Gail and our family,\u201d she said of her husband of 26 years.<\/p>\n

The report states that Ernst met with Trump on July 4th, 2016 and discussed the job before telling Politico<\/a>, \u201cI made that very clear to him that I\u2019m focused on Iowa. I feel that I have a lot more to do in the United States Senate. And Iowa is where my heart is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, in her divorce filing, Ernst is singing a different tune and putting the blame on her husband, complaining her husband \u201c \u2026 hated any successes I had and would belittle me and get angry any time I achieved a goal.\u201d…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
