Former President Donald Trump criticized Gov. Kim Reynolds for being neutral ahead of the Republican caucuses. In a post on his social media site, Truth Social, Trump said he will not invite Reynolds to events. He also claims he "opened up the governor position" for Reynolds, referencing how Reynolds became governor when Trump appointed Terry Branstad as Ambassador to China in 2016.Below is Trump's full post:"I love Iowa, protected & expanded Ethanol, got 28 Billion Dollars from China for our great Farmers, ended the Estate (Death!) Tax on farms, made the best TRADE deals in history (USMCA, China & many more), introduced the World to our FARMERS, & kept Iowa's 'First in the Nation' status. I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds, & when she fell behind, I ENDORSED her, did big Rallies, & she won. Now, she wants to remain 'NEUTRAL.' I don't invite her to events! DeSanctus down 45 points!"After the post, other Republican presidential candidates came to Reynolds' defense.In a tweet, Ron DeSantis said Reynolds is "a strong leader who knows how to ignore the chirping and get it done."In a tweet, Nikki Haley called Reynolds a "conservative rockstar."The governor's office has not responded to a request for comment.
