An airplane carrying a banner over the Iowa State Fair on Saturday took aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during his interview with Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds.
Reynolds hosted a “Fair-Side Chat” series during the state fair with several Republican 2024 presidential candidates, including DeSantis. A plane flew over the fair during the interview with DeSantis with a banner flying behind it reading “Be Likable, Ron!” according to CNN.
It is unknown who was responsible for the banner, according to CNN.

Protesters had previously attempted to disrupt the event with DeSantis using whistles and cowbells in an attempt to drown out the candidate, which resulted in Reynolds chastising the protesters.
“We’re going to have an opportunity to hear from each and every candidate,” Reynolds told the protesters. “That’s what we’ve been doing.”
DeSantis, during his interview, criticized President Joe Biden for attacking legislation in Florida that bars discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade while ignoring his own granddaughter.
