“We’re Iowa nice by nature,” one of the protesters, Heather Ryan, told NBC News on Friday. “That’s what we’re known for. But I’m tired of being nice. I’m tired of getting trampled on for our rights … people like Ron DeSantis … I mean, women’s rights are, like, so unimportant to him that I almost don’t even have to say that he’s taking them away because you already know that.” NBC News was unable to contact Ryan following Saturday’s protest as she had been apprehended by authorities.

Apprehended for what?? Hurting Puddin’ fingers’s feelings? (I know it’s probably actually some bullshit like protesting without a permit)

After the incident, DeSantis called the protesters “radical leftists.” “Well, look, I think when the left comes out that’s a sign of strength because like, they know that we will beat [Joe] Biden and they know we will be able to turn this country around and they do not want that,” he told reporters.

Terrible reaction from him. Sounds like a small gathering of protestors. His reaction was too harsh for the moment, and will repel Iowa primary voters who are a little more moderate.

Should have said something like how the protestors are exercising their constitutional rights, and he may not agree with them but he will defend the constitution to the end of his days. Yada yada yada.
