Grassley Makes Carper Look Spry
Delaware’s Tom Carper isn’t the only doddering old geezer blocking up the halls of the Senate. Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley showed what happens when an aged, out-of-touch political lifer holds a town hall and gets confronted by a constituent with a pointed question: Why are you threatening my life by voting seven times to repeal Obamacare?
You’ll notice he tries to placate the woman by telling her the ACA is “the law of the land,” never even acknowledging that he voted to kill it, let alone explaining why. Maybe instead of term limits, we should try age limits.
This is why “town hall meetings” are an endangered species, love it when their floundering and can’t get away. How typical is it that Grassley denies the Republicans want to kill the ACA when that’s exactly what they have tried to do time after time. As for Carper only time will heal that wound.
