Roughly 200-300 protestors attended events in Indianola and Ankeny. Over 1,000 people joined the rally in Des Moines, held outside of the Iowa Statehouse on the steps.

Despite uniting under the "No Kings" phrase, protestors had a variety of reasons for coming out.

"People's rights to criticize the current administration are being trampled on," said Mike Schweiger, of St. Charles.

The GOP is totally out of touch and they are coordinating their lame responses.

Statement from U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst:
"Shame on the left for focusing on sowing chaos ..."
Aint't nobody sow chaos like the republicans did on Jan. 6. Shame on thee.
