Since Greene managed to lose her committee assignments after about fifteen minutes in Congress, it doesn’t look like she has much of a future as a legislator anyway
She’s probably not going to the Iowa State Fair for the corn dogs. Photo: Elijah Nouvelage/Bloomberg via Getty Images As a Georgia expat with an appreciation for the Peach State’s often zany political wildlife — and as an honorary Iowan via time spent watching their caucuses — my two worlds collided with this news today from Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Jacobs:
No kidding. Indeed, harboring presidential ambitions is the main reason for a pol from 850 miles away to attend the fair. Yes, Greene has been conducting a fundraising road show with her co-conspirator Matt Gaetz that is actually losing money, but Iowa is more of a consumer than a producer of political donations. Maybe she just likes corn dogs and deep fried twinkies, or wants to try out one of this year’s new fair foods , or has always longed to see the Butter Cow.
If, God forbid, I were advising Greene, I’d recommend she make an appearance during the great informal tradition of Eastside Night, on the first Friday of the fair . It’s when the white working class neighborhoods surrounding the fairgrounds come together to drink, flirt, and sometimes fight. Greene should find a pretty good niche audience of angry culture-warriors somewhere in that crowd, and forge links between her people back home and midwestern MAGA folk.
