NOW Feminist Mocks Joni Ernst for Growing Up Poor

By Jennifer Burke 
After the State of the Union address earlier in January, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst delivered the GOP response. During her speech, she commented how, as a child growing up in a poor family, she only had one pair of shoes, so on rainy school days, she wore bread bags over her shoes to protect them. 
Progressives constantly claim that they are the party of the poor, accusing conservatives of being only for the rich; that they are the party of women and want everyone to “get a fair shot.”
However, they took the words “fair shot” to a completely different context when Ernst became the target of their ridicule and jokes based upon sharing her bread bags story.
Bonnie Axler is the Florida Secretary for NOW, National Organization for Women, which supposedly supports women. That is, they support progressive Democrat women. Conservative and Republican women are fair game for attacks and ridicule as Axler clearly demonstrated. She was recently caught on video mocking Senator Ernst by wearing bread bags on her feet as well as attacking and questioning her childhood.



Conservative talk radio host and bestselling author Tammy Bruce laid into Axler for her actions.

Others chimed in.

@HeyTammyBruce I never realized resourcefulness in the face of poverty was so funny. @NYJooo

@HeyTammyBruce @NYJooo As a poor person who has had to be creative, I am highly offended. Eat vs. meds or clothing? #liberals are heartless.

Looks like Axler let another progressive truism out of the bag. They are only the party of the poor if they believe they can control them or buy their votes. If you are conservative and grew up poor, then your experience will be the butt of a joke in an attempt to demean and belittle you.
