As political derision goes, Farley's remark was not so very derisive. He didn't denounce "prairie supremacy" or deride prairie-dwellers as bigots or Karens. But many took offense even so. Had not Abraham Lincoln also come from a "typical prairie state"? 4/x — PolitiTweet.org

n the speech, Farley referenced a likely FDR opponent in the election ahead, Kansas Governor Alf Landon. He described Landon as governor of a "typical prairie state." 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

FDR sent Farley a letter of rebuke. Don't criticize blocs of voters! Compliments only! EG: "one of our SPLENDID prairie states." This is all the more true if you don't belong to the group yourself, as Farley - a New Yorker - most certainly did not. 5/x — PolitiTweet.org
