Bleeding Heartland
Tuesday, Jul 13 2021
State Senator Zach Nunn launched his Congressional campaign on July 13 with a promise to “bring Iowa’s record of success to the nation’s capital” and “defeat the far-left’s socialist agenda.”
Although Republicans Mary Ann Hanusa and Nicole Hasso are already running in Iowa’s third district, Nunn entered the race as the clear front-runner for the GOP nomination.
Nunn’s first campaign video blends biographical information with a lot of military imagery and standard talking points about fighting for Iowa against various Republican bogeymen (“elites in DC,” “big tech that muzzles our constitutional rights”).

Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, alleging censorship against conservative viewpoints.
Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and other sites permanently banned Trump in January after many of his followers stormed the U.S. Capitol. The companies said Trump’s statements would incite additional violence. Trump launched and then deleted his own blog to make personal statements. The Washington Post reported last week that Trump was upset the blog was disrespected and drew a much smaller audience, according to an aide.
