This is coming full circle. We know Donald Trump’s intention was to get Ukraine to announce an investigation into Joe Biden. We know that was done because Trump was trying to hurt the person he sees as his biggest threat on election day. Now with just a week until the Iowa Caucuses, Trump’s Republican attorneys and allies are trying once again to zap Biden. During the impeachment trial Monday, Trump defense attorney Pam Bondi made Biden her focus.

Over on Fox News, opinion host Jesse Waters commented, “It doesn’t look good for Joe Biden.” Then, Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) came to the microphones and made it all crystal clear. Washington Post opinion writer Jennifer Rubin said, “During a brief media availability on Monday, she rightly declared that the Iowa caucuses are set for next Monday. She then stepped into the political quicksand, confessing that she was “really interested to see how this discussion today informs and influences the Iowa caucus voters, those Democratic caucus goers. Will they be supporting VP Biden at this point?” Oops. She is not supposed to be cheering in public for Biden’s demise as a result of already debunked conspiracy theories.

Joe Biden’s rapid response director, Andrew Bates tweeted:

Thank you for reminding us who you’re terrified of @realDonaldTrump having to run against.

And Biden himself also reacted.
