In 2012, Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst told an audience that she carries a gun<\/a> to protect her family and her rights should the government ever try to take them away. <\/p>\n

Paul Begala (and others) are now framing Ernst’s quote to mean that she supports violent revolution against the U.S. government, including police and soldiers:<\/p>\n

I bet I own more guns than @joniernst<\/a>. Anyone who would use them against law enforcement or our military is a traitor http:\/\/t.co\/2qZ5vu8Lzo<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s not what Ernst was talking about and Begala knows it, but hey, there’s an election coming up and Dem desperation is high.<\/p>\n

@PaulBegala<\/a> @joniernst<\/a> Talk of violent revolution against our gov. from a U.S. senate candidate should be immediately disqualifying.<\/p>\n

@PaulBegala<\/a> @joniernst<\/a> Please Iowa voters stop this crazy lady from going to our Senate. We already have a real gun problem.<\/p>\n

@PaulBegala<\/a> Exactly. Democrats are not against guns per se. We are against the way they are often used. I know many Democratic hunters.<\/p>\n

@valluga29<\/a> @lynrouse1<\/a> @PaulBegala<\/a> @joniernst<\/a> she an idiot! All women in the GOP ARE IDIOTS FOR BEING IN THE ALL MEN'S CLUB!<\/p>\n

If Ernst were actually supporting violent revolution against the U.S. government she’d be kind of stupid for trying to get elected to the Senate, wouldn’t she? <\/p>\n

@PaulBegala<\/a> @ed_kilgore<\/a> What makes you think the military or the police would be on the side of a tyrannical govt?<\/p>\n
