Another day, another RINO exposed for playing both sides against the middle. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-IA), who's currently running for Iowa governor on a platform of opposing Chinese acquisition of American farmland, has been quietly pocketing campaign contributions from political action committees controlled by the very same Chinese companies he claims to oppose.

Campaign finance records obtained by the Washington Examiner reveal the stunning hypocrisy of a congressman who talks tough on China while his campaign coffers are being filled by Beijing-connected entities that have purchased thousands of acres of prime American agricultural land.

This is exactly the kind of swamp behavior that President Trump has been fighting against for nearly a decade. While Feenstra gives fiery speeches about protecting Iowa's farmland from foreign adversaries, he's apparently more than happy to cash their checks when the cameras aren't rolling.

The China Problem in Iowa

Iowa sits at the heart of America's agricultural production, making Chinese farmland acquisition a critical national security issue. These aren't just business transactions – they're strategic moves by the Chinese Communist Party to gain control over America's food supply chain.

Patriots across Iowa trusted Feenstra to stand up to this threat. Instead, they got another politician who says one thing in public while doing the opposite behind closed doors. It's the kind of two-faced behavior that gave us the uniparty swamp in the first place.

With Trump back in the White House and the America First agenda moving full steam ahead, there's no room for Republicans who can't decide whether they're working for Iowa farmers or Chinese communists.

"The people of Iowa deserve leaders who will fight for them, not politicians who talk tough while taking money from our enemies," one longtime Iowa conservative activist told us.

As Feenstra campaigns for governor, Iowa Republicans need to ask themselves: Can they trust a man who built his career on opposing Chinese farmland purchases while simultaneously taking their money? The answer should be crystal clear.

This is why Trump was right about the swamp. These RINOs will sell out American agriculture for a few thousand dollars while our food security gets compromised by our biggest adversary.

We're watching our heartland get sold piece by piece to communists while our own representatives help them do it. This has to stop now before it's too late.

Does anyone know if there's a full list of donors published somewhere? I want to see who else in my state might be compromised.

Check OpenSecrets.org - they have foreign lobbying disclosure forms but you have to dig deep.

How is this even legal? Foreign governments shouldn't be allowed to lobby our representatives period, especially not China.

Unfortunately it's legal through various loopholes and shell companies. The whole system needs reform.

My grandfather's farm has been in our family for four generations and now Chinese companies are buying up land all around us. These politicians don't understand what they're destroying.

This is exactly why we can't trust establishment Republicans anymore. They talk tough on China while secretly taking their money - disgusting!

100% agree. We need to primary every single one of these sellouts.
