Ex-Obama Adviser Knocks Joni Ernst's Town Hall Fumble In 1 Blunt Takedown

David Axelrod hit the GOP senator with a reality check over her support for a bill that could leave millions without health insurance.
David Axelrod, ex-senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, on Monday bluntly criticized Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) for sarcastically saying “we are all going to die” at a town hall in response to constituents’ fears over GOP-backed Medicaid cuts.
“People will be affected, when you take seven, eight, nine million people off of Medicaid, there will be people who will die,” Axelrod told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Ernst doubled down on her heavily criticized comments by posting a non-apology video, seemingly filmed in a cemetery, on social media.
