WASHINGTON (AP) — Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the longest-serving Republican senator, says he is quarantining after being exposed to the coronavirus.

Grassley, 87, did not say how he was exposed. He said he would follow doctor’s orders and “immediately quarantine” and work virtually as he waits for results of a test.

“I’m feeling well and not currently experiencing any symptoms, but it’s important we all follow public health guidelines to keep each other healthy,” Grassley said in a statement.

I seriously think they are sending Democrat Jihadist Suicide Covid teams.

Good to have a proof of life statement from Grassley. This is the first time I’ve heard his name mentioned since well before the election.

Gee, I wonder. Could it have anything to do with acting like the virus is fake?

Also note that with Grassley and Scott both in quarantine, and three Republicans opposed, McConnell does not have enough votes to install Judy Shelton at the Fed.

They are definitely spreading it intentionally to targeted people. I hope some day they get caught, but it will probably take one of them bragging or confessing about it for them to get caught.

It's full-on germ warfare.

He has been doing some good things, even though he is squidgy at times. He is a tough old bird, so I hope he will recover soon.

My guess? Even though it's the exact same thing, for Democrats it's just called "a cold", "sinus infection", "allergies", "minor lung irritation", etc.

The last two times I saw Grassley on televised hearings he could barely read what his staff had written for him. He’s declining rapidly.

I totally, totally agree. Grassley should have retired 2 decades ago.

My guess....the media are bringing it on...they can come and go as they please. And that includes the Rose Garden gathering for Amy. Those folks weren't passing it around unless they already had it.

BUT one person could pass it on specifically. Look through the photos of the night and find the common person.

And...we know that 4 media people tested positive...but we were only given the name of one.

He’s hanging around until his son, currently in the Iowa state government, can take over his senate seat. We only thought we got rid of the monarchy.
