They’re Afraid: CNN Publishes Article Saying Trump’s Iowa Rally Was the ‘Most Alarming Yet’

CNN ran a story titled “The most alarming Trump rally yet” following former President Donald Trump’s massive rally in Iowa on Saturday.

According to the network, a former president and potential candidate holding a political rally is “dangerous to our democracy.”

The article, which gives off angry teenager’s diary vibes, whined that “while Donald Trump has held several rallies since the January 6 Capitol insurrection, his rally in Iowa Saturday was the most alarming by far.”

Penned by Daily Beast columnist Dean Obeidallah, the op-ed moaned that this rally “was different.”

“This one was attended by longtime Iowa US Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Iowa Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Ashley Hinson, and other mainstream Republican officials. Some of these very same people, who just nine months ago were slamming Trump for his role in the Capitol riots, were now only too happy to be seen supporting him. This is politics at its worst — and at its most dangerous for our democracy,” Obeidallah asserted.

His biggest issue with the rally was not Trump, it was the politicians who went to support him.

“You don’t need to be a historian to recognize the danger in a political party showing blind loyalty to one person. These GOP elected officials just several months ago rightly criticized Trump and his role in the false election claims that led to the January 6 attack. With their presence at his rally this weekend, it seems they’ve now changed their tune,” Obeidallah’s whining continued.

Trump has a favorability rating of 91 percent among Iowa Republicans.

I’ve watched all the rallies. I think this was the best post-presidency rally speech he’s given.

I was at the rally. I think Grassley looked like he didn’t know what to do. I’m not sure he saw it coming, and possibly Trump endorsed him just to put ole Chuck Grassley on the spot. What could he do at that point? Say no in front of tens of thousands of Iowans? Chuckster will win, but his popularity has fallen dramatically in Iowa

Exactly. And boy, are the Dems PO’d.

Every politician knows which side his bread is buttered on, and if Trump has a 90% favorability rating in Iowa, any congress critter looking for reelection or even influence knows he’s got to get on board. And that may even outweigh fear of Dems.

"I’m really starting to get worried for Trump’s personal safety."


I was just thinking the same thing (about the rallies). He is out there in the open...
The question is, what would happen if something DID happen to President Trump. Would that be the "shot heard across America"? If so, maybe that is what is stopping them from harming President Trump.

God protect President Donald Trump.

"Interesting how you hear the word ‘democracy’ from the left frequently"


Sadly, many, if not most, Repubs also use this word loosely. So do many FReepers :P

Trump is going to romp to victory in 2024. It will be impossible to steal two elections in a row especially after several states passed reforms to prevent the kind of fraud that went on before and there is no Covid excuse to allow mass mail in voting in states that are not deep blue anyway. Mix in victories for some MAGA candidates in a few governors’ races in 2022 and even more states will pass real election reforms to prevent fraud.

Hell, I like Trump as much for his enemies as for anything else. If THESE people are that triggered by him, the guy must be great - Because they are complete and utter scum.

Are we inching closer to Trumps return? If CNN is scared I say we on the right track. Just scared, HELL I was hoping for TERRIFIED but maybe that will take several more Trump rallys.

I seem to recall pics of Obama with a halo behind him on every cover of liberal magazines during that era.

"This time around everyone will be aware of election fraud."

Unfortunately, no. The propaganda media will be out in force denying it. The dems will be practicing it while accusing Trump.

“How large was it?”

The authorities at the Des Moines Fairgrounds said it broke all records for the venue. I’ve heard up to 40,000 pax.

Demonizing the innocent is something that happened before.

The left ALWAYS accuses everyone else of exactly what it is they themselves are guilty. ALWAYS

“Isn’t it enough that Trump is Right for me to Fully Support him?”

And CNN says that Trump holding a political rally is “dangerous to our democracy.” How do they figure that? If he couldn’t hold a rally, that would be dangerous to our democracy.

So, what actually triggered her? Would it be Trump’s recitation of apparent election irregularities in Arizona as revealed by the audit?
