Braley raised more than a few eyebrows yesterday by referring to the Iowa State Cyclones’ loss to Ohio State as the Trail of Tears, the government’s forced relocation which killed tens of thousands of Native Americans. Braley deleted the tweet after facing a backlash from followers. He also apologized to anyone who was offended — a move which handily makes any scandal go away if there’s a (D) after your name.
