Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) used the Heimlich maneuver on Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) after she choked during lunch on Thursday, she confirmed on X. “Can’t help but choke on the woke policies Dems are forcing down our throats,” Ernst wrote on X. “Thanks, Dr. @RandPaul !” Sen. Lindsey Graham later weighed in, telling The Washington Post “God bless Rand Paul. I never thought I’d say that.”
