Our rather useless Governor keeping King on her campaign

Yep, she doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to tell King to get lost;

Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds says she'll keep U.S. Rep. Steve King involved in her gubernatorial campaign even though she condemns his recent online comment that criticized diversity.

Reynolds told reporters Tuesday the Republican congressman from Iowa is one of multiple people serving as a state co-chair on her campaign, and she won't always agree with everything they say.

Reynolds, who is seeking a four-year term next year, says she disagrees with King's comment and won't get "sidetracked" by it. She says she's focused on other issues like improving Iowa's workforce.

I'm so sick of the vapid politicians we have in Iowa. And I can't wait to vote for whoever runs against Joni Ernst, another dimwit.

She needs all his nutty supporters to vote for her.

I'm hoping it all backfires and she goes away permanently.

She is beyond rather useless. She is good only to the wealthy and quite detrimental to everyone else.
