Rep Bobby Kaufmann (R-Fuckstick) thinks we're buttercups needing to suck it up. [View all]
One of 
Iowa's finest
owa Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, (R) Wilton, is borrowing a saying for disgruntled farm hands to describe legislation aimed at anti-Trump protests.
"I have named the bill, 'Suck it up, Buttercup'," he told ABC affiliate WQAD on Monday.
Kaufmann wants the House Oversight Committee to clarify state laws and look into fining Iowa colleges for any tax dollars spent on so-called "Cry Rooms" for students upset over the election results.
But Iowa Rep. Phyllis Thede, (D) Bettendorf, says the proposal does threaten free speech.
