Grassley got drilled by his high school buddies and his constituents!

When you piss off an Iowan? You know that you aren’t getting out of there with more lies!

Oh wait! He lied to them and ran away!

This happened at a town hall event in his district! Per MSNBC!

This was when he held up Garland's nomination. I asked him about in not a nice manner and he dropped the mike an walked out about a half hour early.

The local press reported he had a pervious engagement. He has never had an open meeting in that town since.

Note that today's meeting was in really cramped quarters at really inconvenient time for constituents

Whether he could handle "harsh" comments like do your job.

I'm sure he was clutching his pearls as he scampered away.

Dems should schedule a town hall meeting there in the next week or so. One with much more seating for bigger crowd on a day at a time yhan meets voters' needs!
