Of all the things Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, said during her State of the Union rebuttal Tuesday, what stood out the most is surprising.
“You see, growing up, I had only one good pair of shoes. So on rainy school days, my mom would slip plastic bread bags over them to keep them dry,” she said describing her humble beginnings.
“But I was never embarrassed. Because the school bus would be filled with rows and rows of young Iowans with bread bags slipped over their feet.”
Twitter had a field day with it.
