Yes.Heโ€™s 91 now and has been a senator for 44 years, 6 years in House of Reps before Senate, and 8 terms (16 years) in Iowa House of Reps, so thatโ€™s 91-44-6-16=25 years old when he got into lawmaking. His .gov bio touts โ€œthe longest serving senator in Iowa historyโ€ like itโ€™s a good thing.๐Ÿค”

Did this buffoon ever hold a real job in Iowa?

Not really. He claims to still be a farmer and to have been a sheet metal worker when he was young. He was also an adjunct professor for a few years. He also has a bachelorโ€™s, a masterโ€™s and โ€œwork on a phd.โ€ He looks like a career politician and a dabbler.

Very interesting. Trump must have something really bad about Grassley to be so complicit. He was not always like this in the Senate.

Itโ€™s very baffling to me that these old senators, who arenโ€™t or donโ€™t need to be running again, are so easily pushed around by trump. Imagine being 91 and powerful and moneyed enough that youโ€™ve got yourself covered and youโ€™re still letting the likes of trump push you around. Unreal.
