Ernst asks crowd to pay attention/be respectful to veterans panel, then she'll take questions after. Only slightly mollifies crowd

@IAStartingLine hiding behind veterans so she won't have to answer tough questions. This was listed as a public event yes?

@IAStartingLine I feel sorry for our vets being treated as a public shield. Sad that she has stooped so low. Bless our vets. Vote her out
