WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — What started as a routine Zoom meeting ended in a flurry of racially-fueled hate speech and death threats.
The Iowa Democratic Black Caucus meets every first and third Sunday of the month at 7:00 p.m. over Zoom.
This past Sunday's meeting was open to the public and featured a special guest, Ohio Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, the newly-elected chair of the Congressional Black Caucus.
