Iowa Dem scrubbed anti-Trump tweets from X account to appear more moderate, Republicans charge

Lanon Baccam, Democratic nominee for Iowa's 3rd House district, deleted anti-Trump tweets from his X account to position himself as a centrist, Republican critics claim.

But in what the NRCC says is a move to appear more moderate, Baccam scrubbed his X account of numerous partisan posts which remain accessible online through the archival site Wayback Machine.   (Lanon Baccam, X via Wayback Machine)   (Lanon Baccam, X via Wayback Machine)   (Lanon Baccam, X via Wayback Machine)   (Lanon Baccam, X via Wayback Machine)   (Lanon Baccam, X via Wayback Machine)   (Lanon Baccam, X via Wayback Machine)   (Lanon Baccam, X via Wayback Machine)   (Lanon Baccam, X via Wayback Machine) Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics.

"It's clear Lanon Baccam is desperately trying to run from his past as a paid political activist, hide his extreme stances and lie to the voters of Iowa," National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesperson Mike Marinella told Fox News Digital about the scrubbed posts. "Voters deserve to know the real Lanon Baccam outside his phony campaign ads and tampered-with social media."
