Braley campaign fair during Ernst duty

Let me get this straight.
Joni Ernst is gone for two weeks of duty and while she is gone and in her absence, Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy group backed by the billionaire Koch brothers, announced it was beginning a three-week television and digital ad campaign targeting Bruce Braley with the cost at more than $800,000. But she is upset that the Senate Majority PAC is campaigning for Braley at the same time. Wow.
Did she think just because she is serving two weeks of duty that Braley and his supporters should take a two-week vacation while she is away?
