Iowa’s Republican Attorney General wants to defund the police… well the Winneshiek County Sheriff to be precise.
Attorney General Brenna Bird filed a lawsuit aimed at stripping Winneshiek County of ALL its state funding. That includes its law enforcement. All because of a — checks script — Facebook post.
Sheriff Dan Marx, a fellow Republican, said his office would reject unconstitutional immigration detainer requests that weren't approved by courts. And now he’s in a fight with AG Bird and Governor Kim Reynolds.
On this episode of Cornhole Champions, host Zachary Oren Smith speaks with Winneshiek County Republican Party Co-Chair Thomas Hansen about why it “doesn’t make sense” for state Republicans to attack Marx. “just seems wrong.”
Then Iowa Starting Line’s Amie Rivers and Avery Staker join to break down Whirlpool’s layoff of a third of their employees in Amana and the US. Secretary of Agriculture’s visit to the state.
