Iowa senator Joni Ernst will likely be having a word with whoever runs her Twitter account after a tweet went out congratulating the Iowa Hawkeyes on the Big Ten Championship win just moments after the Hawkeyes lost to Michigan State.

The tweet was quickly deleted, but as usual, the internet never forgets.

Perhaps the tweet was pre-scheduled like this one, or perhaps Senator Ernst simply has no excuse, much like Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Be careful what you tweet.
