One of Gov. Ron DeSantis' campaign appearances in Iowa descended into chaos when a blue-haired agitator engaged in a fight with the crowd in attendance on Friday. DeSantis was speaking at the <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/ap-desantis-pence-gop-2024-hopefuls-not-trump-set-appear-iowa-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iowa State Fair</a> in Des Moines with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds. <p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>WARNING: The following contains language some readers may find offensive</strong></em></p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Getting rowdy at the DeSantis chat with Kim Reynolds.

A member of the Iowa State Patrol began to advise the blue-haired protester in the video -- seemingly urging her to refrain from disorderly conduct. The account that shared the video indicated that some protesters were moved to the back of the crowd by law enforcement. Another video shared by a leader of Students for DeSantis indicated that the event had been picketed by protesters in its caption. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">DESANTIS EVENT IS PACKED.

"Go back to Florida!" one protester shouted at the Republican presidential candidate. The conservative governor ignored the agitators, instead focused on introducing himself to potential voters in the state's first-in-the-nation caucus. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bit of a skirmish at DeSantis’ first stop of the day in Iowa.
