The Trump campaign’s surrogate army descends on Iowa and faces down a protest by hunterw
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Despite facing no real rivals in the Iowa caucuses Monday evening, President Trump’s campaign brought more than eighty surrogates into the state, where a half-dozen leading Democratic candidates were also fiercely competing for the right to face him. The show of force by the president’s team included high ranking officials and members of the Trump family at a press conference where a protester was evicted after shouting that Trump’s rhetoric is “killing Jews.
Parscale then introduced the other press conference speakers; the president’s oldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric and his wife, Lara Trump. Trump’s family mocked his rivals and promised he would have an epic victory. “Guys, we are going to beat them again,” Eric said of the Democrats. “We are going to beat them so much bigger this time.” “The American people look through what’s happening. They see it as the nonsense that it is,” Eric said, adding, “They see the results. They see the economy. They see the unemployment. They see the rebuilding of our military. They see a guy who’s actually willing to stick up for this country again. They see the protection of civil liberties and religious freedom. ….
“We’re from New York,” Don continued. “This was no secret. This is something [Bloomberg] is seriously insecure about and he’s spent years combatting.”
