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.

There are lot of people over 80 in the House and Senate. Must be a hell of a good paying gig.

"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."

Then I guess you missed him, Graham, Thune, and others saying Biden should receive intelligence briefings last week:

Senate Republicans, Lindsey Graham say Joe Biden needs presidential daily briefs

China's getting their wish.

Not only is Grassley 87 and doddering (I've been waiting for the chance to use that word), but he's also third in line for the presidency, just behind Pelosi. He's president pro tempore of the Senate.

That was my immediate reaction too.

We really do need term limits. These guys would hang on until they’re 100 years old. Once they’re in there for a couple terms, it’s nearly impossible to dislodge them.

RE: Sen. Grassley, 87,

I’m really wondering why these politicians stay there forever and never retire.

Honestly 78 is too old, look at demented Biden.

Do you think XI or Putin are old and feeble and demented?

Does seem to be a disproportionate number of Republicans in general that get exposed.

“They are definitely spreading it intentionally to targeted people.”

People should not have to quarantine if they have NO symptoms. They can go about their business and wear a mask. They even let doctors and hospital workers do this. This stuff needs to stop- quit calling it a “case” when there are no symptoms!

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.

Paging Project Veritas .... Paging Project Veritas ...

Seriously, you’re really wondering?

Why stop the gravy train, when it’s a cushy career?? He has tons of aides, excellent health care, and no telling what other luxurious perks.

Why quit?

Strom Thurmond still holds the record at age 100.

That is freaking ludicrous.

How many Dems are masturbating to the thought of Grassley dying and giving them the majority?
