“These facilities are at their maximum capacity,” she said. “And so the way I describe it is, hey, we’re used to a certain number of folks that will come to the border. We know that. That’s gone on for years and years and years. But, it’s just like Thanksgiving dinner. You make Thanksgiving dinner for your family, maybe 10 people, but a thousand show up at your door expecting Thanksgiving dinner. What do you do? You’ve only got two legs, come on. It is a crisis.”

But, the detainees didn't make her nervous. She felt "comfortable" the entire time. Thank God! Joni's OK.

“It’s overwhelmed,” Ernst said, describing her observations as she walked through the facilities. “But I felt completely safe and at ease.

“Even walking in and around the migrants, I felt comfortable,” she said.

I’m so relieved the white woman felt safe walking amongst the brown people. And *shocked* to learn she wasn’t assaulted, or worse.

She has to be one of the dumbest :censor ever elected to the Senate. Between her and Steve King, I'm embarrassed to say I grew up in Iowa.

I believe the people of Iowa are of better character than either Ernst or King. The Iowans I know personally have generous spirits and open minds.
