Politicians who support Trump should not be representing Iowa

Upon reading the May 31 Gazette and seeing the headline 'GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS' with a picture of Trump, I continued reading the article about Trump on Page 7A. What did I see on Page 7A, but the heading ''Iowa GOP officials rally behind Trump", and the following comments:

Iowa Governor, Kim Reynolds: "Americans saw this trial for what it was, a sham."

Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird: "Today is a dark day in American history."

U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson, Republican: "This is a disgrace and a total sham."

Jeff Kaufman, Iowa GOP Chairman: The trial was orchestrated by Democrats "terrified of President Trump returning to the White House."

U.S. Senator, Joni Ernst, Republican: '"This was never about justice. It was always about politics."

U.S. Senator, Chuck Grassley, Republican:"The jury's unanimous verdict is another example of leftist activist prosecutors weaponizing the judicial system to carry out their political vendettas."

U S. Rep. Randy Feenstra, Republican: "Our justice system should not be used to tarnish political opponents."

Really! Is this who you want to represent the people of the State of Iowa? Politicians who believe in Trump. Trump who continues to say President Biden did not win the election!
