Blog for Iowa @blogforiowa.bsky.social · 5hI found this in the Des Moines Register article. Haven't found yet any local media primarily focused on the protest. The framing in the coverage is mostly that there are "concerns." Very little suggesting it's likely or even questioning could it be just another Trump scam. #iowa 010
Blog for Iowa @blogforiowa.bsky.social · 6hThe Iowa press could take a lesson and be more appropriately skeptical of this obvious scam by Donald Trump to influence the midterms.
