Cokie Roberts: GOP ‘Should Stay Out of Iowa Altogether’

Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. Over the weekend, Congressman Steve King (R-IA) hosted the Iowa Freedom Summit, featuring several potential Republican presidential candidates and on Sunday, ABC’s This Week eagerly took a shot at the gathering of influential conservatives. Speaking during the show’s panel discussion, Cokie Roberts, senior news analyst for NPR, slammed the GOP event and insisted that “Republicans should stay out of Iowa altogether. What happens to them is that they get pushed so far to the right in those venues that it gives them a terrible time in the general election.”
