| 1638960565140746247 | @KCRG To all educators following the new Iowa law is breaking federal civil liberty laws you are obligated to comply with the US constitution and that the equal protection clause prohibits discrimination against transgender individuals | 3 |
| 1638673638651035648 | @KCRG Awful. The state government has decided that they're completely unwilling to solve actual problems (like our polluted water!), but they're definitely willing to create new problems and harm Iowans. | 3 |

| 1638692948329000962 | @KCRG Way to ignore the science and experts. Abject failure as a governor. (And the amount of bigotry in the comments is not the Iowa I know) | 65 |

| 1638566285905739776 | @KCRG @IAGovernor @IowaGOP What happened to parents right, parental choice, & "trusting iowans to do the right thing"? How quickly things change when the only seeking power is the only goal.....sad how a once respectable political party has sold itself out. | 44 |
| 1638711554852937728 | @KCRG The party of small government literally telling people where to go to the bathroom 🤦♀️ | 42 |
