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.
Huh, I thought this was going to be about Amy Acton’s mother.
