Iowa Governor Reynolds Doesn't Even Know Who ....

So the great leader of Iowa, who by the way has a Liberal Studies degree, claimed that the DHS Director was not fired for his love for Tupac. I would have thought that from a couple of her DUI arrests she would have listened to him in the clink. Not sure I would call Tupac an IT either. As I previously posted, if only he was a Neil Sedaka fan.

Per the Des Moines Register....

I didn’t even know who Tupac was, so let’s just start with that,” Reynolds told Iowa Public Radio. “Honestly, I had no idea who it even was. There were multiple factors that went into that decision, and we’re just going to leave it at that.”

Foxhoven's abrupt ouster in June made national news in July, amid speculation it might have been related to the way he used emails to share his zeal for the rapper Tupac Shakur with the department's 4,000 employees. Reynolds had declined to say why she demanded his resignation, but she said this week that it had nothing to do with the late rapper. Foxhoven also has said he didn't think his love of Shakur led to his ouster. But he has played along with the attention, doing national interviews and posing Friday with an "Iowa needs Tupac" T-shirt produced by Des Moines' cheeky Raygun shop.

I swear with the exception of Lisa Murkowski, who actually is capable of thinking, Republican women office holders are nitwits.

I didn’t think anyone was as vapid as Joni Ernst, but maybe I’m wrong.
