Iowans caught on film in Minnesota making us all look like racist cannons of douche

Obviously we're sending our finest out to represent us.

As June rolled into July, Andy DeLisi, the owner of Big Bear Lodge out in Grand Marais, discovered the Black Lives Matter signs at the edge of his property had gone missing.

The next time around, DeLisi planned ahead. He put out another sign – this one handmade, out of painted plywood – and set up a security camera. On Tuesday evening, the feed captured two people meddling with it, and a pale pink car parked nearby. The name emblazoned on the side of the vehicle was “Mary Kay.”

The next day, he selected a few stills from the feed and called up the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.

But DeLisi also posted the photos on his Facebook page, where they blew up and got shared nearly 500 times by the end of the week – to say nothing of various reposts on Twitter. A few commenters said they recognized the pair as Tom and Linda Bergerson from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who happened to be staying at a nearby resort.

1. They made themselves look like racist cannons of douche.

These terrible people don’t represent the whole state of Iowa. There are plenty of loathsome people in Minnesota too. After all, they elected Michelle Bachmann to Congress more than once.

Grand Marais is so great. Mr. madaboutharry and I vacationed there last summer. We love it up there.
