I hope Trump is giving his yes men the same medicine he got.
The socialistic haters are really enjoying this!
It’s going to be a very very long time until another senator from Iowa has Grassley’s clout!
i’m giving it 10 days. chuck may be old but he is going strong. with our prayers he will get through this!!!
WHY is this ancient old cuss still in DC? Way past time for term limits in the US Congress.
Poetic justice. Serves him right for enabling Trump to destroy so many Iowa jobs. He chose the imposter Trump over his own constituency, participated in downplaying the virus risk, and now karma is coming back to bite him.
Agreed!!!!!!!!
Who’s next?
We shall see, we shall see, shant we.
Crazy sheep. Iowa has more job openings than it does willing and able people. What we lack is ambition, and gave an abundance of excuses.
I hope a lot more congressmen and senators get it too. Be pay back for them to not have pulled the Govs head out of tRumps ass long enough to make her do something about the covid.
With any luck at all you will catch it and have a very long illness followed by a 2nd infection.
That’s a terrible thing to say!
Really Mr Perfect
Haha. Now the governor is responsible for everyone in her states actions? It’s the people, not the politicians, who are spreading it. If it were anyone besides the people to blame, it would be the devil worshiping Democrats.
Did you see in minnesota their were several Republican representatives who had it and they had a big meeting with the democrats. guess who ‘forgot’ to tell the others of their infections? Here’s a hint cuz I know you are very smart. It wasn’t the democrats.
You’re leaving out some pretty important information. Are you unaware of this additional information or are you purposely omitting this information to make your political adversaries look bad???
What info is that?
I also don’t need to add or leave out anything to make Republicans look bad. They do a great job of that by themselves. Have you heard of Lindsay Graham?
The democrats were never in close contact for the event in question and Mn Dept of Health protocols were 100% followed.
This is the problem with the media today. They purposely misconstrue information to fit a narrative and people like you are a sucker for it EVERY TIME!
Quit thinking you are so smart. You aren’t. https://www.rivertowns.net/news/government-and-politics/6765879-Following-blowback-top-Minnesota-Republican-says-COVID-19-case-reporting-couldve-been-handled-differently
