and had the same questions as you. If she was abused by her husband, why would she stand up for a Kavanaugh? A Trump? WTF is the matter with her?

Usually the only time a Republican learns anything is when it happens directly to them. Is she too dense to realize that what happened to her has happened to others?

Interesting also that IIRC Ernst told of being raped or molested while deployed to the Middle East yet it was never corroborated.
