DES MOINES, IOWA – Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley cut straight to the chase when asked if he’d gladly accept the support of former President Trump as the longtime lawmaker from Iowa runs next year for an eighth six-year term in the Senate.

"Anybody who’s got the approval rating of 91% of the Republicans in Iowa, you surely wouldn’t be stupid enough to turn down that help," Grassley told Fox News on Saturday at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, minutes before Trump’s first rally in the Hawkeye State since last November’s election got underway.

Sasse wanted his support till he won. Then stabbed him in back.

Chuck can still write an angry letter to government apparatchiks when needed.

Grassley is a backstabbing RINO that Trump would do well to stay away from. By his response to the election (claiming it was the cleanest he’s seen), Grassley was in on the fraud

That is exactly what grassley will do. Did you see his little speech after Trump endorsed him? He said he could not turn down the endorsement because 91% of Iowa republicans supported Trump. No thank you, or Trump was a good POTUS, nothing.

Trump is going to endorse the governor and whisper in her ear who she should replace Grassley with when he leaves prior to his term ending.

If he survives the full term he’ll be 95. He’ll be 101 at the end of the term after that.

Isn’t this decrepit RINO POS one of the Senate GOP Trump haters too gutless to state their opposition publicly? You would think President Trump would be smart enough to stop supporting these back-stabbing scumbags that continually ask for his help only to fight him tooth and nail once reelected.

Nor do I. Endorse Grassley and condemn McConnell? They're both peas from the same pod.

Grassley loves him some big government. Gives him something to shout at.

Grassley voted for the Trojan horse infrastructure bill.

He should have retired.

Grassley will be mummified the way Byrd and Strom were so they keep voting on legislation until their bodies are put in the grave.

Grassley, in a speech to the crowd a couple of hours earlier, tied himself to the former president, showcasing that "President Trump and I were proud to deliver for the hard working people of Iowa and the United States, people just like you, policies that make a difference in the United States of America to continue America First."
