Joe: Why don't you all show Joni Ernst just how smart you are by caucusing for me?

DES MOINES, Iowa — Former Vice President Joe Biden responded to Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst (R) on Sunday after she suggested he could be impeached if he wins the presidential election.

“Why don’t you all show Joni Ernst just how smart you are by caucusing for me?” Biden joked to a room full of supporters, to loud applause.

“I promise if you stand with me, we will end Trump’s reign of hatred and division,” Biden said.

Biden was occasionally interrupted by protesters urging him to shun contributions from fossil fuel companies. The former vice president was speaking to a crowd of more than 1,000 supporters at a middle school in Des Moines, Iowa, one of the largest crowds his campaign has attracted to date.

His remarks came in response to comments Ernst made in an interview with Bloomberg, where she suggested that Biden could be impeached if elected for supposedly "turning a blind eye to Burisma because his son was on the board making over a million dollars a year.”

“I think this door of impeachable whatever has been opened,” Ernst told the news outlet. “Joe Biden should be very careful what he’s asking for because, you know, we can have a situation where if it should ever be President Biden, that immediately, people, right the day after he would be elected would be saying, ‘Well, we’re going to impeach him.’”

The senator previously suggested that the impeachment trial could be used to hurt Biden's chances in the Iowa caucuses on Monday.

1. I love the guy. He is not my preferred candidate, but I wouldn't mind him at the top of the ticket.

2. I think Joni Ernst displayed blatant immaturity with this comment:

“I think this door of impeachable whatever has been opened,” Ernst told the news outlet. “Joe Biden should be very careful what he’s asking for because, you know, we can have a situation where if it should ever be President Biden, that immediately, people, right the day after he would be elected would be saying, ‘Well, we’re going to impeach him.’”

I also think that anyone who does not recognized the corruption in our government by this administration is willfully ignorant, and trying to normalize their support of the creature in the White House.

3. "This door of impeachable whatever"?

Oh for Pete’s sake...

4. The Trump-humpers ...

... are starting to sound exactly like him - just as grammatically incorrect, just as inane, and just as unhinged.

6. Yep. Pretty much.

Which always seems to lead me back to the same question:

So then what does that say about THEM?


(Besides, nothing good?)

5. I loved how he called her out

after all of the sucking up to Trump she is doing.
