Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, has offered up a batshit amendment to the infrastructure bill
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, has offered up a "Cuomo amendment" to the $555 billion infrastructure bill, which would prohibit funds for any state “in which the governor of such State has been found, by the relevant State or Federal authorities, to have sexually harassed employees while holding the position of governor.”
"A sitting governor who harasses and abuses women on his own staff and members of law enforcement must be held accountable, and shouldn’t be getting a dime of #Iowa taxpayer money," Ernst tweeted of her proposed amendment, which would withhold infrastructure money from New York State while Andrew Cuomo is governor.
There is no expectation that the amendment, which was introduced Wednesday, will get a vote, as it would require support of all 100 senators to allow the roll call. Not to mention, the Senate is run by the senior senator from New York.

But it's just fine and dandy if a sitting GOP president does the same as far as Senator Ernst is concerned.

Let's punish all New Yorkers over the actions of one man? 
And about that dime of taxpayer money, what is the ratio of fed dollars to state dollars for IA? 
they throw out dozens of this kind of shit, mostly to waste time and slow things down.
This is the sausage making that Otto von Bismark warned us about when he said, "Two things that the public should not witness are making sausages and making legislation."
