In Iowa, no less

 

Get fucked, Chuck!

A room full of frustrated Iowans urged Sen. Chuck Grassley to stand up to President Donald Trump and push back against the executive branch during a Tuesday town hall.

He won't.

In a tiny southeast Iowa city council chambers that couldn’t fit everyone who turned out, Grassley mostly listened to complaints about Trump and concerns about the sweeping overhaul of the federal government taking place since he returned to office.

One person asked the senator point blank: “Are you proud of Trump?”

“There’s no president I’ve agreed with 100% of the time,” he replied. The tight and measured response drew groans from the crowd, where most of the seats were occupied.

Asked about Trump’s tariffs, Grassley acknowledged the potential for pain to Iowa farmers, especially grain producers. He touted his bill that would limit tariff powers of presidents going forward.

“When you put something negative, like a tariff, on some country, they seem to retaliate against agriculture,” he said.

It's a mystery why.

Grassley dismissed concerns about the SAVE Act, a bill to crackdown on voter registration that recently passed the House, noting that the legislation had little chance of making it through the Senate, where Republicans don’t have the 60 votes needed to end debate.

The more structured approach, however, didn’t alter the tenor of the event. All but one question asked was critical of the administration.

One person who attended Tuesday to thank Grassley began his remarks by saying, “I’m a rarity here: I’m a happy Republican.”

What was the question?
