The Coli has the most retarded political takes.
As other posters have pointed out, its a state democratic party event. How are they trying to pander to AAs when they are basically non-existent in Iowa?

Beyond that, politics in America has always bordered on the absurd, we're talking about a political system in which honor duels were an acceptable form of problem solving for at least 100 years. Republicans have Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, for fukks sake Clint East wood spent 11 minutes talking to a goddamn chair at the RNC 2012 convention--which was televised by the way--but yall got this strange umbrage at an ex stripper speaking at a local event. Outrage when one of the two major parties vomited forth a reality tv show conman for a nomination, who lost the popular vote but still won due to a relic that was a compromise to keep the slave owners who wrote the Constitution on board. Politics has always been absurd, open a fukking book ( start with Robert Caro's Johnson--LBJ, signer of the Civil Rights Act used to constantly show Senators and Congressman his nuts) stop being prisoners of the monent.
