DES MOINES — Five protesters were arrested Monday night after trespassing into a Joe Biden presidential campaign field office.

Police responded to a trespassing complaint in the 2400 block of Grand Avenue just after 7:00. As they arrived, the individual with authority over the building told police that approximately 24 people had entered the building to protest. After multiple requests to leave, police were called.

According to officials, five people out of the group would not leave the building when asked and were arrested for Criminal Trespassing. Those five individuals were 22-year-old John Reardon, 68-year-old Michael McKinley, 22-year-old William Floyd, 21-year-old Denise Cheeseman and 19-year-old Kiran Loewenstein.

According to the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Action Fund, they wanted to meet with Biden to “address ongoing lies about Medicare for All he is spinning on the campaign trail.”

Those arrested were released at the scene and must appear in court at a later date.


How bad is this going to get....





Unreal....

1. Pretty bad . . . .

I remember here in California, at a small gathering for HRC, when they left the building they were confronted with brutal slurs and very intimating gestures . . .

3. If you want to meet with him, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT! You don't just accost an ex-Vice President.

This was a publicity stunt, just like the faux "Sunrise Movement" stunts at the Capitol and outside Dianne Feinstein's office.

They've already posted about a dozen videos on twitter.

4. wasn't there a microphone somewhere in need of stealing?

Criminal trespassing is a hard lesson for stupidity. This wasn't a protest worth anything.

10. ICCI's twitter feed is pretty disgusting - they endorse Sanders and then protest Biden.

ICCI is good on the issues but really, really, bad at political strategy and building coalitions; they'd rather burn it all down.
