Grassley: ‘I Hope We Can Retire #Resist’
The Iowa Torch ^ | 01/20/21 | Iowa Torch

Four years ago, our nation’s capital was full of people who had come to celebrate a new president’s inauguration or to protest it.

This inauguration was different in that respect. But, just like four years ago, there are Americans who question the election outcome and did not want the inauguration to proceed.

Since Election Day, I have urged Americans to have faith in our constitutional system and let it work its course. Today was the culmination of that process.

Like four years ago, I know that many Americans are not happy with how it turned out. That is absolutely fine. In our country, you are not obliged to like or support the president.

However, while the presidency changed hands, I hope we can retire #resist.

How can the “Constitutional System” work if the “Justice System” refuses to work?

Nope, because the Deplorables have taken up the #Resist banner.

Do you think Twitter will ban the #Resist hashtag once it becomes a conservative symbol?

Grassley is too stupid to realize Trump was the only person keeping Resist, BLM, Antifa in check.
Now they have the Police State protecting them.
Life is going to be far more dangerous

Ethanol Chuck has no idea.
#RESIST was for pansies.

MAGA for Patriots is just getting warmed up.

Roll MAGA, roll!

“I have urged Americans to have faith in our constitutional system and let it work its course.”

Our constitutional system was usurped and isn’t allowed to work it’s course. I have zero faith in whatever this is now.

In a heartbeat, as hate speech.

Thanks for the link. Great column. The only problem is that the left can do whatever it wants with impunity. Those on the right are investigated, charged, and put in prison...or shot.

Here they go again, preemptively calling for surrender. The GOP should be called the BOP for “Bend Over Party”.

Right, we need to pressure these sites to remove the Facebook and Twitter shares!

Ethanol Chuck, boy is that ever true. Ditto for Ernst. They are fully owned by the corn and ethanol lobby. Now my horrible Democrat rep has been put on the Agriculture Committee to insure that she will get big bucks and support from them. In turn, she will push for more subsidies and forced use of that crappy ethanol stuff that ruins engines.

The Republican Leadership made their choice quite a while ago, and it wasn’t beneficial to the citizens of this country.
