Kimberly Sheets, a Democrat, beat the odds by defeating David Whipple, a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist running for Warren County Auditor.

Voters in a small pro-Trump county in Iowa have ousted an election auditor known for falsehoods and replaced him with a Democrat. Kimberly Sheets beat the odds by defeating David Whipple, a pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theorist

Warren County, which had favored former President Donald Trump with 57.3 percent of the vote in the 2020 election, attracted attention due to its all-Republican board of supervisors appointing David Whipple as county auditor in June. Iowa's county auditors hold the crucial responsibility of overseeing elections.


Whipple's appointment sparked immediate outrage when his history of sharing conspiracy theories on social media, including claims about the QAnon conspiracy and the 2020 election's integrity, came to light. Despite substantial evidence debunking these theories, Whipple had maintained his stance, even sharing unfounded notions about the 9/11 attacks.

Sheets secured a definitive victory over Whipple. She clinched an impressive 66.5 percent of the vote, while Whipple garnered only 33.4 percent. She later published a tweet in which she thanked her supporters.

Sheets's triumph resonated with many.



Sheets's victory aligns with a broader trend witnessed during the 2022 midterm elections and even into this year.

Across the United States, voters issued a clear rejection of candidates associated with conspiracy theories, causing many Trump-backed conspiracy theorists to lose at the ballot box. The red wave GOP pollsters had predicted last November failed to come about, and Democrats have over-performed in elections ever since, in part due to backlash against the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
