Iowahawk unleashes BRUTAL thread over Politico reporter’s ‘Observations from Iowa’ hot take

Politico NY’s City Hall Bureau Chief Sally Gold was in Iowa covering Bill de Blasio entrance into the 2020 primary and she has some thoughts on the state. Some very, very bad thoughts:

Sally Goldenberg@SallyGold

Observations from Iowa - it is very flat, driving is monotonous, there is more unbuilt land in one block than NYC has in an entire borough, dirt roads are terrifying, no one carries almond milk and caucus-goers are extremely well-informed.

I guess being called "extremely well-informed" is a compliment, but it's sorta like being told you're very handsome by the Elephant Man

Oh please. There is no doubt that she is a recent transplant to New York. That type is THE WORST snob. They preen and posture as jaded sophisticates, but they’re really just insecure about their suburban roots
