As Twitchy reported last night, a protest broke out when Senate candidate Joni Ernst visited with the brothers of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity house at Iowa State university last night, but it was her epic response to the to the Koch-obsessed libs and their Occupy Wall Street-era “mic check” chant that you’ll love the most. From National Review’s Benny Johnson:
Very large protest breaks out against Ernst inside the fraternity. 20 people stand up and chant against her and the Koch Bros.

The protester chant against Ernst goes on for 3+ minutes before frat bros got together and started chanting "Joni!Joni!"

Oh really? Well here is what Lt. Col. and Iraq war veteran Joni Ernst’s had to say about that:
Joni Ernst calms down the crowd after the protest: "Don't worry folks I've seen worse. But it was in Iraq."

.@joniernst uses the protest to tie into her military service: "What the military taught me is to stay calm in these situations."

A “grateful” Ernst ended then ended the visit by allowing the “bros” to sign the castrated-pig decal on the bus:
