A local official in Iowa is taking heat for appearing in a political ad denouncing a Democrat as “just plain dangerous” for kids — while having once been arrested for child endangerment herself.

Shellie Flockhart, who serves as a council member at large in Dallas Center, Iowa just outside of Des Moines, is not identified by her political position.

The spot focuses on Iowa state Sen. Sarah Trone Garriott (D), who is running for the House of Representative against incumbent Rep. Zach Nunn (R-IA).

In the ad, the blonde 55-year-old is one of several women sitting in turn, facing the camera to denounce Trone Garriott, 48, for her stance on trans issues.

    Child engagement? Among other things she got a DUI because she was so drunk she couldn’t even drive anymore … not only legally…she simply wasn’t able to anymore.

    All with her kids in the car.

    Jfc… she definitely saw god after that and understood what was ment in Matthew 7:3_5…

      For the curious (and lazy)

      Matthew 7:3_5

      ³ “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? ⁴ How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? ⁵ You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
