It’s been said that a bad day at the fair is always better than a good day at work. Ron DeSantis of Florida, those two ideas collided on Saturday in Iowa. During the interview, protesters with cowbells and whistles sought to interrupt the conversation with Ms. Reynolds, who reminded the crowd to be “Iowa Nice.” Several of the protesters were removed from the event by the Iowa State Police, an interaction that occurred behind the press area. For other candidates, Ms. Reynolds’s interviews have been a safe space with softball questions and few unpredictable moments. Needless to say, it probably was not the vibe Mr. DeSantis’s campaign team were looking for.
