Reynolds has a right to endorse who she wants

I stand in awe of Joni Ernst. She is standing up to one of the most hateful & destructive senators to come down the congressional pike since Strom Thurmond. For the sake of the armed services and the good of this country, she has given the MAGA Man, Tuberville, a sound verbal thrashing. I don't doubt she has done this with great risk to her career and her physical safety — because MAGA does not play nice.

And speaking of MAGA, I detest Kim Reynold's policies — particularly those which harm women's health and seek to instruct on our choice of literature. But, who she chooses to endorse for President is none of Trump's business. Trump posted on Truth Social that giving the nod to DeSantis — only a smidge less repulsive than Donald — would be the end of her career. Knowing Trump's penchant for violent rhetoric to egg his supporters on, that sounded like a threat to me. Reynolds, despite her monumental failings, is still the duly elected governor of the sovereign state of Iowa. Trump, put a sock in it, bozo.
