Iowa governor Kim Reynolds - who endorsed Ron DeSantis - uses burner account to complain about Trump online ahead of her state's caucuses

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has used a 'burner' account on X to secretly post and re-post anti-Donald Trump content on the social media app ahead of her state's first-in-the-nation caucus, according to a report.

Reynolds, who endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the Republican primary, is not the first anti-Trump heavy hitter to get caught with a burner, after Mitt Romney's infamous 'Pierre Delecto' account was unearthed in 2019.

But, the Reynolds revelation came just four days before voters will begin to caucus for both candidates, as well as former South Carolina Governor and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.

'The contrast is overwhelming…' wrote the original poster of the account, who has zero known ties to Reynolds other than his profile saying he is in favor of DeSantis.

The New York Times reported that the 'Kimberl' account belonged to the governor, with sources confirming she is behind it.

Most FR supporters of DeSantis are either “Democratic” Party operatives or GOPe partisans. We need to send the RINOs into the woods with red backsides and kicked out teeth.

Kim has gone back to drinking. She needs an intervention.

Yeah - that’d be a sockpuppet account. Not a “burner” account.

Burner or throwaway accounts are short term one off accounts used for a specific topic/question and meant to be tossed.

Sockpuppet accounts are long time accounts used to buttress a known account or to discuss topics that some would like to punish.

It’s appropriate, since she’s set her political career on fire.

Grassley Hates Trump, too.

He was hoping they could push Pence thru.

Wrong.

Getting a genuinely anonymous phone or account seems challenging these days.

MAGA: “Nobody cares about Kim Reynolds endorsement of DeSanctus. Her career is finished, Iowans hate her. Florida hates DeSanctus.”

Also MAGA: “OMG did you see that Kim Reynolds has another account where she trashes Trump?.This is sooooo huge. This proves that she’s a born liar!!!”

True-tought to get totally anonymous account-this is a nothing burger story-as a Trump campaign $ contributor I get crazy stuff from the Trump campaign that is just as bad or worse than this about DeSantis and very little negative about Trump and nothing about voter fraud or Faucci. All the people banging on DeSantis will be the same people wondering why we lose in 2024-focus on Biden for gawds sake

Still amazing that Iowa picked a random grandma with no real background to be Governor.

“focus on Biden for gawds sake”

They likely believe he might withdraw, so they’re uncertain about which specific individual to concentrate on at the moment.

If the governor does not have the strength of her convictions to publicly say what she thinks, rather than “hide” behind a burner account, she has no business leading a city, state or nation (or even a Cub Scout den)

Well, you’ve shown that your account lies and post false information a lot too, so of course you don’t see what the problem is....
