Racist Zoom bombers crash Iowa state lawmaker meeting, repeatedly shouting racial slurs
DES MOINES, IA (WQAD) Anonymous racist trolls on Saturday crashed a public meeting of Iowa state lawmakers on the video conferencing service, Zoom. The “Zoom bombing” of a virtual legislative forum hosted by four Des Moines area lawmakers comes one week after a similar incident on a Iowa Democratic Black Caucus meeting.
“I don’t think these people would have come forth if we were having an in-person meeting,” said State Representative Marti Anderson of the 36th District in Des Moines.
Rep. Anderson was both the host of the meeting with constituents and a participant of discussions. At about 40 minutes into the meeting, the first troll began shouting racial slurs and sexist abuse aimed at Rep. Anderson.

DES MOINES, Iowa In June 2020, a historic criminal justice reform package was signed into law by Gov. Kim Reynolds while she was surrounded by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
