The Hawk Eye
Regardless of their political affiliations, southeast Iowa residents largely condemned the violent protests that broke out Wednesday at the nation s Capitol as a mob of people some wearing MAGA hats and carrying flags and others dressed in full-out costumes rushed into the building where the U.S. Senate and Congress had convened to certify results of the 2020 election. It was deplorable, said Tom Greene, Republican state senator of Iowa s 44th District. It was embarrassing.
Greene, who will officially end his first and only term in office on Monday when Tim Goodwin is sworn in, believes the storming of the Capitol building was the culmination of many things, including increasing violence seen throughout the U.S. over the past several years and blatant shows of disrespect by politicians.
