In Iowa, Inslee ranks behind birthday parties, family reunion, baby shower

Aug 20, 2019, 12:42 PM

A listener visiting Iowa a week ago spotted this sign at a community center hosting a Jay Inslee rally in Grimes, Iowa.

Governor Inslee’s name is listed after three birthday parties, a baby shower, and a family reunion.

The listener wrote that when he walked into the community center room where Inslee was scheduled to speak, about a dozen senior citizens had turned out for the big event.

This was the same weekend as the Iowa State Fair — where, incidentally, out of the 66,000 people who participated in the corn kernel poll, Jay Inslee once again got 0 percent.

He continues to spend millions of dollars on the Washington State Patrol security detail so that he can travel around the country on this failing campaign.
