Sheriff's report filed in response to alleged assault by Pottawattamie Co supervisor candidate (R)

...A video is circulating on social media of an incident that happened earlier in the month after a board of supervisors candidate forum.

The video shows supervisor candidate Jeff Jorgensen grabbing a flyer from a person who'd just called him a fascist.

The flyer, which was handed out at the forum, showed publicly available photos of Jorgensen at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

3 News Now talked to the alleged victim who didn't want his face or name used. He's an Iowa resident but lives outside of Pottawattamie County. He's the one who took the video, filing the report against Jorgensen.

"It's just about accountability. There needs to be accountability for his actions. And is someone with that kind of temperament, is that someone we want making decisions for Pottawattamie County?" the alleged victim said...

Video at link.

This asshole was at DC in Jan 6th and he's proud of it. He even spoke to a couple groups about it. Although he's been scrubbing his Facebook page about it, everyone has seen the posts - which is where used on the flyer that this guy was handing out in the hallway outside of the candidate forum.

Bit of history. He boasts that he was the Pott County GOP Chairman. What he doesn't say is that he had to resign at the request of the local and state party leaders.
