While Chuck was inside trying to defend his conservative credentials because his constituents are really Trump and Musk, the folks outside who think they are the real constituents are shouting “traitor!” 

Why did Grassley voluntarily point out to the room of Iowans angry about the closing of the Dept. of Education, that he was the only member of congress still in congress now who voted AGAINST establishing the Department of Education in 1979? And he didn’t stop there. He went on to say that he would vote the same way today. So there you have it.

Chuck showed who he is loyal to today and ordinary Iowans, including those who voted for him, are inconvenient obstacles in Trump’s path.

This video clip is the overflow of people who couldn’t get in. The lobby inside was also full. One report said about 100 people did not get inside.

Clips from the Gazette YouTube channel:

In this video the Dept. of Education closing is being questioned. In one of the two videos,  Grassley tries to equate the illegal actions Trump and Musk are taking to Biden forgiving student loans. It’s just like that, same thing.  Yes, he said that.

In the next video a guy calls Chuck on the carpet quite effectively, but in my opinion there will be no help from Chuck as far as defending democracy. But we still have to pressure him and congress. We can’t obey in advance. And we can’t make it easy for them.  This is how we grow the pro-democracy movement.  Visibility.
