Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, Gov. Kim Reynolds, and Reps. Randy Feenstra and Mariannette Miller-Meeks attended the FAMiLY Leader gala.
Top Iowa Republicans attended a 25th anniversary celebration on Oct. 30 honoring the 25th anniversary of the FAMiLY Leader, an anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion, anti-contraception organization officially affiliated with the Family Research Council, which is designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, Rep. Randy Feenstra, and Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks then shared pictures of themselves at the gala on social media, congratulating the Iowa organization on the milestone.
Grassley tweeted out a photo of himself at the event with Bob Vander Plaats, the president and CEO of the FAMiLY Leader, noting that "Hundreds of Iowans gathered" for the event.

Members of a hate group, the R party, honoring other bigots. It all adds up to me.

Of the network trying to kill America. There was a book about them about ten years ago. They are dangerous and tied to the special interest groups and think tanks who are against us.
