‘Make them squeal’: Joni Ernst’s victory speech borrows line from movie rape scene

[geardaddy]

Iowa Senator-elect Joni Ernst (R) may have unknowingly used a line from a rape scene in the movie Deliverance during her victory speech on Tuesday.

“Well, Iowa, we did it, We did it!” she told her supporters. “It’s a long way from Red Oak to Washington, from the biscuit line at Hardee’s to the United States Senate.”

“But, thanks to all of you we are heading to Washington. And we are going to make ‘em squeal.”

ABC News dubbed the remark one of the “Best Lines From Joni Ernst’s Victory Speech.” And she was almost certainly referencing the political ad about her experience castrating hogs that launched her campaign.

1. I hope they get what they voted for

Squeal!!!!!

[hack89]

2. I would never associate that phrase with the movie

it has been around for a very long time unless you really want to believe it was created for the movie.

6. It was the very first thing I thought of when I heard that soundbite on the radio

Perhaps because it was so entirely fitting.

7. I agree

That's really stretching it.

10. No one that has seen the movie would. It's not the same line at all.

How is 'make 'em squeal' supposed to be the same as 'squeal like a pig'? Because they both use the word squeal? This article is trying way too hard to find something that isn't there at all.

3. " You gotta real purty mouth boy"

as the tee shirt says "paddle faster I hear banjos"

4. Ew. National embarrassment.

5. That's a huge stretch

She was clearly referencing the hog thing.

8. I heard it was referencing something else.

9. So Joni Ernst wants to castrate

President Obama? Totally - totally NOT suprised. That's what she is you know.

11. Mrs. Cutyernutsoff likes to be on the TeeVee.

She is dangerous.

12. May have been intentional. A message.
