What Iowa Republicans are thinking after Trump's federal indictment (PBS video)

I missed this when if first aired. It's depressing to think that many of my neighbors are likely just like these brainwashed cult members.

The news of former President Trump’s federal indictment comes as the GOP primary field is still taking shape. Judy Woodruff is in Des Moines, Iowa, to listen in on voter discussions led by conservative pollster Sarah Longwell. Trump's indictment is the focus of the first of two America at a Crossroads reports on what Iowa Republicans are thinking. This story was produced with Iowa PBS.

Join me in emailing Judy and telling her to cut that shit out and interview someone else for a change.
viewermail@newshour.org

Here's the email I sent to them:

I noted the above story with disgust. Yet another "round table" of Iowa Republicans to add to the umpteen "diner interviews" of Iowa Republicans and "man on the street" interviews with Iowa Republicans, all letting them spew their ignorance about current events and, most especially, Donald Trump.

Two months have passed. Ample time. And yet I still do not see a corresponding round table of Democrats, eliciting THEIR opinions.

We have had the opinions of Iowa MAGAs shoved down our throats for 5 years by all media, including yourselves.

Do you know what would be interesting? If you all moseyed on down to 165th and Walton Avenue in the Bronx, or a Detroit diner, or perhaps gathered a round table of Democratic voters.

How about that? Why does NO ONE ever do that?

I am a monthly contributor to PBS. This makes me consider ending my donation.
