Eric Garcetti, presidential long shot, journeys to Iowa, the land of dreams

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti set out Friday to introduce himself to Iowa with a two-day visit...

~~

He visited with firefighters and union carpenters. He met with Latino and Asian American activists, and attended a gay rights gala. He took a walk through Des Moines' hipster East Village neighborhood and picked up Iowa-themed gear at an edgy boutique.

~~

Garcetti does have the singularity of representing the nation's second-most populous city and what he describes as his mutt pedigree: Jewish-Italian-Mexican-American, with a metrosexual vibe.

"I come from the home of the Korean short rib taco," he told a gathering of the Asian and Latino Coalition at the state Capitol in Des Moines. He used the occasion to speak a bit of his fluent Spanish, denounce anti-Semitism and defend "sanctuary" policies for otherwise law-abiding residents who entered the country illegally.

~~

"I think that Iowa and Los Angeles have a ton in common," Garcetti told about 75 Polk County Democrats, who crowded an Irish-themed tavern on a rainy Saturday in Des Moines.

I’m sure the Americans in Iowa just loved Sr. Hate Filled Garcetti, the Anti-American Mexican Supremacist.

Did he meet with the Anglo-Saxon Protestant Coalition while he was there?

Right. Not. Because it doesn’t exist, and if it did, a POS Mexican colonizer like himself would be screaming about it.

Garcetti can haul his butt back to Mexico since that’s the world he wants for the rest of us.

And no, he shouldn’t be appending “American” to the other hyphens he uses.

Nothing American about the guy.

“I think that Iowa and Los Angeles have a ton in common,”

The only thing they have in common is tons of pig shit...Iowa’s farms and LA’s people/politicians.

Los Angles Mayor Garcetti....another anti U.S. Constitution, nutty enough to get elected as mayor of LA...wants to run for POTUS? Find out who is backing this 'dark horse'?

Find that out and we'll know where he stands...I doubt it is for the America we know.

I love his Garcetti snacks. Especially the rye chips. They even have the bags of nothing BUT the rye chips. Delish!

Presidential and vice presidential candidates can’t be from the same state or they forfeit the states electoral votes.
