Iowa Democratic Party chairman says he was targeted by threatening messages after criticizing TFG
Ross Wilburn, the Iowa Democratic Party chairman, says he received racist threats in the days after he published an op-ed in the Des Moines Register that was critical of former President Donald Trump and Republicans who have aligned themselves with him.
Wilburn, the first Black chair of the Iowa Democratic Party and also a state representative from Ames, wrote an op-ed published October 8, ahead of Trump's rally in the state, with the headline: "Iowa Republicans put loyalty to Trump over helping Iowans."
He said that after the op-ed's publication, he received two threatening voicemails and a threatening email to his legislative address.
In a video call with reporters Tuesday, Wilburn said he would seek charges against those responsible for the messages if police identify them.
