Six Iowa Republican county parties have voted to censure Sen. Joni Ernst over her “yes” vote on the Respect for Marriage Act, while one of Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ home Republican county parties is openly recruiting for a primary challenger over her same vote.

“[H]omosexuality clearly violates the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God, the source of our rights,” the Des Moines County Republicans wrote in their censures. “[T]he same sex ‘marriage’ is a ‘slippery slope’ that will undoubtedly lead to the recognition of polygamous and incestuous unions…”

Miller-Meeks has run a medical practice out of Des Moines County for years, but the local Republican activists are so furious over her vote, they announced in their censure that they would try to oust her in the next GOP primary.

“The Des Moines County Republican Party will attempt to recruit a primary challenger against Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks … who supports the principles in this resolution,” the county party resolved.

they want to throw her out? Won’t the remaining Koch Bro be angry at those county parties for threatening his investment in Joni?

3. Plus she's not up until 2026.

That’s a lifetime from now. Go after some up in 2024.

2. "Polygamous and incestuous unions" are Biblically hunky-dory.

Still practiced today, and often by the most "holy" among us.

So what's the worry?

5. Dear Iowa: mind your own fucking business. If you don't want to marry someone of the same gender,

Then don’t.

7. Ironically, Iowa legalized marriage equality in 2009.

That's funny. I thought the Constitution was the source of our rights in this country.
