Top Senate Republican Chuck Grassley backed President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday and had a strong message for outraged media outlets: “suck it up and move on.”

Grassley, R-Iowa, who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on "Fox & Friends" that he supports Trump’s decision to fire the controversial FBI chief.

We could use Sen Grassley on FR to deal with all the recent whiners and murmurers attacking President Trump and his team. Of course the Senator has more important work to do.

One thing I am learning about Trump, is that he plays the long game, getting all his ducks in a row before striking. The ankle-biters are like the kids in the backseat crying, are we there yet.

Grassley is solid. He was on Comey like white on rice.

President Trump has to play his cards very wisely, the Demoncrat subversives have nearly succeeded in undermining all the foundations of the country.......

.....in a healthy governmental environment, serious grand jury indictments concerning Hillary Clinton’s exposure of classified information and O’bastard’s massive unmasking program for political purposes would already be well advanced.

..... I don't have any problem with Comey being fired ... However I think it would have been better handled and classier if he was summoned immediately to the Whitehouse and fired face to face by the President.

Grassley has emerged, surprisingly, as one of the more stable and reliable senators in DC.

Grassley’s memory is almost eidetic, even at his age. He’s amazing discussing disparate topics with no prep. He’s managed to maintain his disdain for DC even as he has mastered their games.

I have always liked Grassley. He is not easily distracted by media.

I just wish my NC senator was like him. No respect for Burr!

The talking heads on CNN were about to explode and were rending their garments and foaming at the mouth. What would satisfy the leftists would be nothing less than a coup to overthrow Trump and establish Hillary as POTUS
