The woman — clad in a “b****es get stuff done” t-shirt — threw punches at one individual in a video of the scuffle.
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.
DESANTIS EVENT IS PACKED.
Iowans showed up to hear the future president speak. (Protestors too 🫢)

A group of protesters wearing the same profane shirts protested with bullhorns directly outside of DeSantis’ campaign bus in one earlier video.

The agitators urged DeSantis to “go back to Florida” as he engaged with fair attendees in the area.
“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.
