Ex-Iowa Department of Human Services official Jerry Foxhoven may or may not have been fired due to his unwavering devotion to Tupac — but at least he now has new merch.

Employees at t-shirt printing store Raygun created a garment in the former official’s honor: a black shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Iowa needs Tupac.”

Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) is maintaining that Foxhoven’s musical enthusiasm was not the reason for his ouster, but one of “a lot of factors.”

    (A low bar, I know, but it’s the hand we’ve been dealt.)

  3. Well, that and a retirement plan and he could declare victory.

  4. 'cause nothing says thug love like a retirement t-shirt…

  5. This is a weird story, but it’s a good story and I like it.

    …other than the fact that Foxhoven was forced to resign. That part isn’t good.
