Grassley said the language he heard at Wednesday’s town hall was “stronger” than what he’s seen elsewhere.
“You’ll see that people have very strong feelings. You heard me also say in the beginning that a lot of us have been advised not to have these town meetings because it gives a forum for people to exert disagreement,” Grassley says. “Sometimes very strong disagreement with what’s going on in Washington.”
“We have a due process and it was not followed and the Supreme Court ruled that he needed to come back, so Trump said, 'Nope I’m not going to do that,” so why do we even have a Supreme Court if they are not going to follow the ruling of the Supreme Court?" the unidentified constituent asks Grassley.
Her question is met with applause by the audience.
Grassley responded by pointing out other parts of the court’s rulings.
“You’re looking at part of the Supreme Court decision, so let me give you the rest of the Supreme Court’s decision,” Grassley says. “The Supreme Court said, like you said, the president ought to make a good faith effort to get this person returned. But it also said to the district judge that you should be careful that you don’t interfere with the constitutional responsibilities of the federal government to conduct our foreign affairs. Which is totally within the executive branch of government.”
The senator was also booed when he suggested that Abrego Garcia’s case “wouldn’t have been an issue if [former President Joe] Biden had enforced the law.”
you fucking goober Grassley
the audience isnt falling for it,
Did Grassley do anything differently? or did he continue to defend a nazis dick-fuck?
still hair-splitting and hem-hawing to make it seem things aren’t as bad as they are
Things aren’t bad for him yet, and that’s the only way he knows if things are bad.
At least he has the spine to actually show up.
If they are not afraid of constituents, who exactly are they afraid of?
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley faced another room of hearted constituents at a town hall in Northwood, Iowa, on Wednesday.
Top-tier, ABCnews. Fucking learn how to edit. Corporate news can’t call trump a liar, refuses to point out he’s a demented rapist, at least read your own goddamned copy before hitting Publish.
MSM has more or less been helping trump for the last 4 years.
- More if you count the birth certificate / CP5 and things like that
Why do we keep electing these dinosaurs?
Gerrymandering
Not senate seats. That’s statewide. The entire state voted for this chode.
Virtually spelling out that the politicians don’t care and don’t want to know about their constituent’s issues. What matters is playing Washington Power Games and getting the associated funding from those who have money.
He’s already forgotten he was there.
I mean, he has 2 ears. We wouldn’t want him to be unbalanced.
