Ol' COVID Kim, the so-called Governor of Iowa, was really subdued on the news tonight

when she talked about the anti-abortion measures the Rs plan to enact in Iowa.

Usually, she's almost giddy about it all, but she spoke in a very quiet way tonight. I think she doesn't want anyone to notice how they plan to take away women's reproductive rights, especially after Kansas. I think Kim is sweating the midterms at this point, because 60% of Iowans want unrestricted abortion care available.

See you in November, Kim. We're coming for you!

She is a monstrous person. A giddy Trump sycophant, spreader of deadly virus, fake purveyor of Christian values, possessor of mediocre intellect, disrespectful to anyone not a GOP hack, and all round dumbass.

Iowans deserve better, even the misinformed and brainwashed who voted for her.

All the Iowa politicians are tweeting her for her birthday and she’s pathetically retweeting all of them.

Same with the idiots in Indiana today..if they know it won't pass a statewide ballot, why not just be smart enough to say 'well, SC left it to the States (because Democracy), SO that's what we will do so we can all keep our jobs.'

It's like they're all willing to get fired, just to be a dick. Thought politicians were supposed to be slightly more self-interested than that lol.

fascist and don't care what people think We need to teach them a very serious lesson in the fall about what happens to politicians who defy the will of the people. Hopefully, she will lose her election...and be among many worthless Republicans who lose their elections.
