Kimmy defends driver who hit protestor

Our Governor ladies and gentlemen is the best Koch brothers money can buy.

Gov. Kim Reynolds said a state trooper who was driving her from an event last week "acted appropriately" when he hit a Black Lives Matter protester who was blocking the driveway of the business she was leaving.

"I do feel like the driver acted appropriately," Reynolds said Tuesday at a news conference in Urbandale.

She said she believes the protester, Jaylen Cavil, an organizer with Des Moines Black Lives Matter, "acted inappropriately" by stepping in front of her SUV as it was leaving the parking lot. Cavil was not injured by the collision.

So many American's can be easily swayed by ads that are completely untrue but if they run them enough they believe them. The voting population by and large are not bright enough to realize that most ads have some untruth in them. They need to read, and comprehend policy issues and positions of the various candidates and make an intelligent decision.

The majority of Americans do not have the ability to read and comprehend material. They need it in short sound bites with pictures.

Of course getting rid of all the money, dark and otherwise that fund these ads would help.
