Suspect That Targeted Kari Lake Event in Iowa Still at Large

MAGA Republicans continue to face terrifying new threats in America these days.

America’s political violence continues to reach terrifying new peaks this week after a scary incident in Iowa targeting MAGA Republican and Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.

The man’s behavior was cause for alarm.

According to a police report of the incident obtained by The Iowa Star, a “scruffy and big” man, “…declared that he was god, and stated he would drive his vehicle through the bar doors.”

The Ankeny Police Department report noted, “Female who ran for Gov. In Arizona is There.”

Initial reports described an “angry, threatening man” walking into the District Venue, at 1350 Southwest Vintage Parkway in Ankeny in suburban Des Moines at 5:28 pm, minutes after Lake entered.

According to the police report, “Male was acting strange in the parking lot asking where the event was tonight.”

The man allegedly told one of the bartenders, “Remember my shirt,” and left in his vehicle as officers arrived at the scene, according to the report.

And then…

According to The Star, a source told the outlet that the owner of the venue parked his truck outside the back door in case the man attempted to carry out his threat.

One of the outlet’s reporters covering the rally saw a large man standing in the open door of the venue, and reported that he yelled out something unintelligible, and was escorted out.

The suspect remains at large and the police issued a “Special Watch” for the man, who fled in an older model yellow Jeep Renegade.

After spotting the vehicle later in the evening, an officer “was unable to get a plate before (the) Jeep entered onto the interstate,” according to the report.

Lake appeared unfazed by the strange incident, going on to tell the gathered crowd that she believes the governorship will be hers in the near future, as her legal challenges to the 2022 election continue.
