Episode Details

Iowa state legislator Christina Bohannan is under fire again for 2021 comments calling a “Back the Blue” law an “overreaction,” suggesting some lawmakers backed it due to lack of diversity and limited exposure to minority communities. The bill, passed amid George Floyd protests, toughened penalties for rioting and added protections for police and drivers — framed by sponsor Jarad Klein as vital support for officers. Critics are now using her remarks to paint her as “soft on crime” in her congressional bid, where she’s lost twice, most recently by just 799 votes. Her campaign hasn’t yet addressed whether she still stands by those statements — and Republicans have long targeted her past positions.
