I know that Chuck here is over a thousand years old and barely knows where he is, but you’d think by now it would be obvious that they wouldn’t be a nominee unless they played into their orange overlord’s deranged fantasies.
Whistling past the graveyard. Thanks Chuck.
I’m surprised he remembers 2020 at all given the man is 92 going on 93 years old.
Same reason Chuck Grassley caved in Trump’s first term.
Kinda late to the party, Grassley. Pro tempore of the Senate. Ancient, out of touch, and willing to support overt corruption, authoritarianism, greed, and stupidity.
Half of our geriatric leaders don’t even understand what is happening, or how the world functions anymore.
This is maybe the worst thing about Republicans. They *know* full well that what they’re doing is wrong and that the administration and the president they fellate in public are completely full of shit, and yet they keep supporting them anyway.
Didn’t the vice President compare Trump to Hitler? And then they all got in line when told to.
Because it’s a fucking cult.
What is there not to understand? trump and his cult members are incapable of telling the truth. And you keep voting them into office. What does that say about you?
Because they are all afraid of what they are prosecutable for and there is a chance MAGA’s are ruined if we stand up and march on Washington. They want a way out and chuck knows this, that „hot mic“ sounds like it was on purpose.
> What would be wrong if they said Biden won?
Grassley spent weeks scolding Democrats for even asking this question. Then his own microphone catches him saying the quiet part out loud. The answer is nothing would be wrong, except these nominees are terrified of Trump.
Reminder: if there had been a slightly different incident at the White House correspondents dinner, this man would be president now.
Can we please start electing people who are younger than indoor plumbing?
Edit: to clarify, that would still be a huge improvement, but moving from horrifically terrible to just bad is not the same as good
Chuck’s a slow learner. Give him another 30 years in office and he’ll start figuring things out.
the dumbest people are being held accountable by the second dumbest group of people
Make this guy retake his driver’s license test and televise it for his constituents
Why do you think, Chuck? Take a wild guess why the nominees won’t say the narcissist Trump *lost* 2020.
Do you have to ask?
Congress needs term limits!!!
You’re 92 years old. What are you possibly trying to accomplish by being subservient to Trump? You’ve made your money and you can’t take it with you. You’re in office for another 2 years when you’ll be 94. Just speak your mind. You have nothing to lose
Literally saying the quiet part out loud…
The answer is because then they won’t be nominees anymore because Trump lives in his own made up reality where he can never lose anything.
„Grassley, the 92-year-old chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee“
Why are people this old making decisions that the rest of us have to live with
Because that would mean that someone on the team wasn’t in lockstep with dear leader Chuck. We all know that can’t happen. NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT ON TEAM TRUMP.
Now go be a good boy and get your rubber stamp lest you be primaried.
Valid question. I suspect it’s some sort of blood oath Trump requires and it’s not just limited to election denying.
Because trump will pull their nominations.
My Senator from the great „Cancer Rate“ state of Iowa ladies and gentlemen.
Seriously, most of us don’t even know why he’s still there.
Why is a 90 year old man in congress
Why won’t Chuck Grassley say Trump lost in 20202?
Oh Chuck…
Is he senile or does he really not know?
Ignoramus here… What does the man Chuck Grassley himself say about the election?
The fact that they cannot admit that he lost means it’s going to incense him for the rest of his pathetic life.
Few people have contributed more to the Big 2020 Lie than Chuck Grassley. He knows damn well why they are acknowledging reality – it’s because The Big Lie is now the MAGA loyalty test.
It’s wild how little of the government likes Trump, and yet how powerful he really is.
You have the sane half (Democrats) who just openly dislike him, as they should.
For the other half? Sure, you have cultists in there, the Hegseths and others who worship Trump. But then you have all the others like Grassley (and so many others) who privately know he’s garbage, but are happy to bow down to him for their own advancement. „Hey, sure, he’s destroying the country, but… I still get my seat at the table!!!“
Ahh it is a long term memory care facility now.
Well, you see Chuck, if they say he lost, then Trump will withdraw their nomination.
Considering the way that Trump treats people I question the jidgement of anyone who’s willing to work for him.
I love that in order to try and get a semblence of information I am bbsrded either two video ads a full screen pop up that comes back after you scroll a little. Fuck new media.
So they won’t end up in debtors‘ prison or fighting in the Great War, grandpa.
Gee, Chuck, I wonder?? maybe worth an investigation and I’d start with whatever you have regarding Russia’s ironclad grip on the GOP.
Answer: they be puppets
All the interviewer needs to say when they refuse to answer is state: „Let it show on the record that XXXX agrees that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.“
Then, if they try to refute that, then they’ll come very close to going on the record as a denialist. The Dems have to stop trying to take the high road. This is where we are.
It’s a valid question
