A call by the wife of Republican candidate Ron DeSantis for women from across the United States to "descend" on Iowa for its 2024 presidential nominating process prompted a reminder by the state Republican party that only residents can take part.

“You must be a legal resident of Iowa and the precinct you live in and bring a photo ID with you to participate,” the state Republican party said on Friday in a post on the social media platform X.

The party is scheduled to hold local gatherings, known as the Iowa Caucus, on Jan. 15 in which participants will vote for their choice for the Republican candidate to run in November’s presidential election. U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to be the Democratic Party’s nominee.

The state Republican Party posted its reminder after Casey DeSantis, appearing on Fox News with her husband, the governor of Florida, called on women from across the country to join the gatherings, saying, “You do not have to be a resident of Iowa to participate."

    I’m usually not one to mock someone for their appearance, but people who bed with fascists get little sympathy from me.

    Holy shit that makeup looks terrible.

      (Most) People don’t choose their faces, but do choose their makeup. I think you’re ok on this one.

      The first thing I did when I saw the thumbnail was google pictures of her to see if her makeup is always that bad. Turns out, it’s almost never good, but this is a particularly bad look. Whoever does her makeup (maybe her) is doing so many things that make her look like a cartoon witch, which is kind of hilarious tbh, since she sucks.

      Maybe it’s because my phone is on the lowest brightness setting, but it looks much better to me than I was expecting after your comment.

      Looked again with regular brightness, and aside from her being a little older, her makeup looks fine. Her nose looks a little weird, like it was redone surgically. But better than the airhead tan blonde fake-lipped bimbos you usually associate with republicans.

      I feel like makeup is fair game because you did it to yourself. I make fun of my brother’s shitty tattoo because he chose poorly.
