Our Governor ladies and gentlemen is the best Koch brothers money can buy.

Gov. Kim Reynolds said a state trooper who was driving her from an event last week "acted appropriately" when he hit a Black Lives Matter protester who was blocking the driveway of the business she was leaving.

"I do feel like the driver acted appropriately," Reynolds said Tuesday at a news conference in Urbandale.

She said she believes the protester, Jaylen Cavil, an organizer with Des Moines Black Lives Matter, "acted inappropriately" by stepping in front of her SUV as it was leaving the parking lot. Cavil was not injured by the collision.
