What's the matter with Iowa? The performative sycophancy of Attorney General Brenna Bird

 

Headline:  Des Moines Register, 5/22/2025

Marissa Payne reports that no information was provided as to how many Iowa taxpayer dollars were wasted having their Attorney General stand with Trump in Arizona:

Standing near the southern border in Arizona, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird joined other Republican attorneys general who thanked President Donald Trump for his early second-term crackdown on illegal immigration, driven in part by state and local law enforcement playing a stronger role. 

Bird, a Republican, joined other GOP attorneys general May 21 to applaud the Trump administration's efforts to empower state and local law enforcement officials to enforce federal immigration law and reverse Biden-era policies.

An attorney general's office spokesperson hasn't shared how much Bird's trip to the U.S-Mexico border cost or who paid for it.  [emphasis added]
