'Done with this crap': Iowa GOP insider fumes at Trump's latest moves

Former President Donald Trump is ruffling feathers in the crucial state of Iowa, where he has attacked the state's popular governor and has refused to attend events with influential evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats.

Trump's behavior has not gone unnoticed by some Iowa GOP insiders, who are telling Politico that they are fed up with the former president.

Among them is Cody Hoefert, the former co-chairman of the Iowa GOP, who tells the publication that he reached his breaking point when he saw Trump's Truth Social post earlier this week slamming Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds for not endorsing him.

“I just went, ‘I’m done with this,’” Hoefert told the publication of his reaction to Trump's post. “I’m done with this kind of crap... I still don’t know who I’m going to vote for, I just know I’m not going to vote for him in the caucus.”

Iowa GOP strategist David Kochel, meanwhile, tells Politico that Trump's attacks on Reynolds show "his very obvious penchant for self-destructive behavior" that could hurt him in the 2024 Iowa caucus.

“He’s got his base in Iowa and around the country that will excuse anything he does — ‘shooting someone on Fifth Avenue,’” he explained. “But a lot of people who might have been with Trump because they thought he was going to win, it’s going to piss them off because he doesn’t take them seriously or Iowa seriously.”
