Twitter Went In on Joni Ernst's Strange SOTU Response

Shortly after Barack Obama finished up his State of the Union address (during which he delivered the best diss song of the year), Senator Joni Ernst delivered the official GOP response with a tone as unnatural as John Boehner's tan. And of course, Twitter was all over it. We compiled some of the best reactions in between fits of laughter that brought us to the ground.

We could probably send Joni Ernst into space for a year without any supplemental oxygen and she'd be fine.

Someone may have told Joni Ernst that the rebuttal is only broadcast to first-graders?
