It is a sad day when U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks asks fellow Iowans if they, like her, want to give a one finger salute to Trump protesters in Clive. The protesters were there to point out Constitutional violations taking place in Minneapolis and elsewhere. She took an oath to defend the Constitution as a representative and as a member of the armed forces. By giving a one finger salute to protesters, she is giving a one finger salute to the Constitution. A truly sad day.
