We’re not surprised that Sen. Lindsey Graham would kick off the year by welcoming new, conservative firebrands to the Senate by breaking out the castration equipment; we just assumed it would be more of a back room ceremony and not so public.

Turns out these were just for show and were presented as a gift to Sen. Joni Ernst, whose campaign spots featuring her playing up her experience castrating hogs really caught the attention of voters. Speaking to voters on election night, a victorious Ernst told her supporters she was “heading to Washington, and we are going to make them squeal!” That would explain the “Make ’em squeal, Joni!” plaque.
@bennyjohnson @DLoesch Welcome Joni

So, just how tightly is that tool attached to the plaque?

@bennyjohnson @MajorCBS If there's anybody who should know something about castration, it would be Lindsay Graham.

@bennyjohnson @DLoesch those are for cattle, not hogs. Hogs are castrated with a knife not clamps. #stillapigfarmeratheart
