Senator Claire Celsi garnered plenty of attention on Friday on The Iowa Standard when it was pointed out she warned people about buying Wells Enterprises products. You can read about that here.
When Sen. Jake Chapman (R-Adel) posted a reply to Celsi’s initial tweet, saying he supports Iowa-based business, especially Blue Bunny and he’d be buying extra tonight,
Celsi responded:
