Iowa Republican Senate Candidate Still Thinks Iraq Had WMDs

Rising Iowa Senate candidate Joni Ernst told the Des Moines Register board in a meeting last Friday she still believes Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

"I do have reason to believe there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," Ernst said.

Here's the full video:
