David Wayne "Dave" Loebsack (born December 23, 1952) is an emeritus professor and left-wing Democrat politician serving as the current U.S. representative from Iowa's 2nd district, being elected in 2006 and re-elected six times. Loebsack is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Loebsack announced in April 2019 that he would not seek re-election in 2020.[1]
U.S. House of Representatives
Impeachment against Donald Trump
- See main article: Trump impeachment
Rep. Loebsack supported[2] and voted in favor of the impeachment coup against Donald Trump,[3] claiming that: “to ensure our democracy is not permanently weakened, there is no other option but to support the articles of impeachment”. Despite holding the title of being a professor emeritus of political science, Leobsack is apparently ignorant of the fact that the U.S. is a constitutional republic and not a democracy.
Political views
Loebsack is a leftist who supports abortion, same-sex "marriage", Obamacare, and abolishing the death penalty.[4]
