Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley says President Trump's recent claim that noise from wind turbines causes cancer was 'idiotic'

Washington President Donald Trump's recent claim that noise from wind turbines causes cancer was"idiotic," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Wednesday.

Speaking at a fundraiser for Republicans in Washington Tuesday, Trump took aim at wind turbines -- which he called windmills -- and what he labeled the inadequacy of wind energy, saying at one point that"they say the noise causes cancer." Scientific studies have not identified any human health risk from wind turbines.

WHEB13 Fake

Tell Trump that playing too much golf and watching Fox TV make him look nasty and let his hairs fall out. Am sure stupid Donald believes it.

gtconway3d Everything President Trump says is idiotic. It's who he is.

Isn’t Trump the guy who wants to bring back asbestos as a building material?

Bout fucking time!

Grassley should of included the term Moronic as well, Trump is a MUH-ROON!

gtconway3d Takes one to know one!

gtconway3d ... and he ain't the brightest bulb on the tree ...

gtconway3d Watch out! The Trump base will eat that up as the truth. Next thing you there will be Trumpsters waving swords at windmills.

ChuckGrassley

In spite of Grassley’s Idiotic comment, he like the rest of his enabling Republican cohorts will continue to support Trump at every turn.

In other news... water is wet!

What’s stupid is people taking the comment seriously..

Maybe you should tell this to the President, maybe have lunch with him, and try standing up to the man, and stating this fact to his FACE

Well thanks for that confirmation!

Thank you for this small morsel of insight into Individual 1

Idiocy. Sadly, Trump isn’t the only person that makes outlandish claims of detrimental health effects from wind turbines.

Of course it’s idiotic and anything else that comes out of this man’s mouth,especially when it comes to science he is clueless

Finally some GOP w/ the cajones to tell the truth.

Let me take a guess and say that Grassley has such turbines in his state!😎

It’s a start

Yet par for the course.

gtconway3d At least Sen Grassley has maintained a semblance of sanity!

Ya think?

gtconway3d Ol' Chuck just noticed that POTUS says idiotic things. Yay Chuck! 👏👏

You think....

It’s long been known. What’s the doubt? 🤔

Actually there are many organizations that say it does. It definitely causes lots of medical problems to people that live nearby. The ones we have now kill over 100,000 birds a year. We should use geothermal, solar, and hydroelectric.

Hey GOPLeader ... nothing from you? There is a reason you are the minority leader TrumpWaterBoy

This shows Republicans can easily buck the president when it is something they are concerned about. Shame Republicans are only concerned about things like their state's local industries, and not children in cages or the president handing security clearances to compromised people

Where there is a problem is with birds. They r being kept away from their normal enviornment& many r being killed from these things.

gtconway3d I keep forgetting, Donald's sad attempts at comedy are actually code. And don't forget, he did didn't 'claim'; he 'they say'ed so that this wouldn't come back to bite him.

There's nothing like having the pot call the kettle black.

and listening to this guy during the SCOTUS hearings he is really qualified to judge 'idiotic'...

gtconway3d

You know what’s funny, is the fact that I was told those windmills in California DOES cause cancer in you consume too much radiology frequencies off them.... (just like our cell phones) It was in the 1990’s....when I was living in California.... TRUMP WAS NOT our president 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔

Remind us who you voted for in the 2016 presidential election, Chuck.

FakeNewsCNN

gtconway3d Grassley knows that when marmalade manchild says something idiotic there are approx 63 million Americans who believe him.

gtconway3d Trump is a half-wit at best.

gtconway3d Ya think? Only this comment has been idiotic? Really?!?!?

gtconway3d It’s sad that the only thing I find shocking about this story is that a republican didn’t agree with trump.

gtconway3d Of course because 'coal' is the future....NOT......lol

gtconway3d Is this news?

So that makes him almost as ignorant as cnn and a.m.!

Did he tell that to DJT?

gtconway3d if you look too long at boiling water you may loose some memories, also very dangerous to listen to rain fall without socks

gtconway3d Grassley must have stock in wind farms.

gtconway3d And the consensus is........he's an idiot!!!

Yes, A+ for Grassley on this unimportant, singular non-issue. It will change nothing. Grassley has been rubber-stamping every single Trump directive for the last two years. CNN needs to get its house in order. R

Now watch as he continues to vote however Trump tells him.

Alyssa “Double-Standard” Milano

gtconway3d Well I certainly would agree.

Good ol' Chuck Grassley, his eyes always looking grassley, if ya know what I mean. But hey, that means he's hip, right? I never actually thought so......until NOW! You go, George!

gtconway3d Sounds like Sen. Grassley will be the next Republican forced out of office for speaking the truth about what Trump says.

gtconway3d There’re no studies saying they don’t

gtconway3d ChuckGrassley Look at everything he said today, then call not only for the release of Mueller Report, but ask the Cabinet and VP to consider the 25th Amendment. They won’t do it, but if Trump is such an idiot, you could ask them to give it a try.

gtconway3d Is Grassley retiring? He's sounding less and less like a Republican of the Senate who wants to keep his job. It's weird when these guys start acting normal and pull their heads out of DT's ass.

gtconway3d Is that Grassley’s best “live long and prosper” hand sign?

gtconway3d What?

gtconway3d Idiotic indeed!! The orange dye in his hair is more likely to do it...

gtconway3d Another Republican Senator willing to call out trump as stupid and reckless but won’t put his money where his mouth with votes. Another Flake.

gtconway3d Holy sh*t a public sliver of awareness that Trump is the dumbest person alive

gtconway3d What’s even more idiotic is that people still support this man.

gtconway3d Just another example of him being a very stable genius

gtconway3d It's not just the claim that's idiotic. realDonaldTrump GOP MAGA

gtconway3d More idiotic than letting Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings move forward? I mean, it's hard to pick the most idiotic move by a GOP member these days.

gtconway3d Senator Grassley decided to tell it like it is because 1) he has nothing to lose, and 2) a voice of reason in GOP?

gtconway3d everything he does is idiotic, stop protecting him.

gtconway3d Because it is..

gtconway3d A Republican with a backbone?!

gtconway3d ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport

gtconway3d Yes it was!

OH MY GOD! I have the fan in my car on 90% of the time. Thank you realDonaldTrump for warning me about its sound causing cancer. potus you are my idiotic hero.

CNN ‘s BS causes cancer. Liberal investigations, cause debt.

Actually there has been studies done that concluded that environmental noise can in fact increase your risk of getting certain types of cancer.

Cause it is

Duh.

😂

He is idiot's any way ..but the problem is with the American people

That's like saying there no chemical trails right Chuck

Wow I agree with you

And how many Republicans remain silent and/or approve Trump's idiotic claims?

Old cogger a little ticked of coup d‘ etat by Trump with Lil Lindsay, his personal Golf Mulligan Man & bootlicker! If DJT wants things shut down, GOP chess pieces falling into place with sycophants giving it their best for the “grifter” not “gipper!”

You think?

This is the type of news u can only hear from CNN,it's only for agains

Oh sh*t!!!! Sanity is coming back to the GOP. What's Mitch's and Lindsey's problems TheDemocrats cnn nytimes

Oh gee really? Was it up there with him getting his father and grandfather mixed up or saying Andrew Jackson could've stopped the civil war? I mean there's quite a lot to pick from here honey.

So is climate change/green deal idiotic!

Thank you, Mr. Grassley! We need more GOP members admitting Trump is an idiot and doing something about it!

Really? He sure is going nuts about the tax issue!!

That's the opinion of only one Republican...the other 99% believe it's true.

'Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley says President Trump's recent claim was idiotic'....could have saved him some words and now he can just cut and paste to save time in the future

Trump was being sarcastic.... CNN is a joke

Guessing they have a few wind turbines in Iowa.

Republicans just love this idiotic president.

Wouldn't stress caused by incessant noise contribute to cancer? I'm not suggesting, but asking.

We know the truth though, shhhhh

That guy is fricken stupid! I just thought the best way to save Money is close the White House it would save around two hundred billion.

The Senator is obviously correct and has done well to speak up. realDonaldTrump is an ABSOLUTE IDIOT. NO DOUBT, WHATSOEVER!!! VP WhiteHouse senategop senatemajldr foxandfriends foxnewsnight nytimes washingtonpost USATODAY Reuters FareedZakaria ReliableSources

No he didn't... Please God no he did not... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😋

Is that the only thing you find “idiotic” about this President?

Trump supporters.... Pivot!!

Took Grassley 5 minutes to say idiotic. trump and Grassley both riddled with dementia.

No, I moved my family out of the house that was close to a wind farm plus removed the blades from my ceiling fans and my standing fan. I believed trump now I'm burning up.

stress causes inflammation. inflammation encourages cancer. so indirectly, it's true. Also applies to having to look at/be near solar farms & power lines. People think these claims are ignorant because they have no experienced being near any of these for any length of time.

Did Grassley finally come to his senses, Trumph has made so many claims that are just flat out untrue and the GOP stands silent, yet the claims are more serious than his wind claim. Maybe Trumph was talking about his own wind that he is blowing.

Good for Chuck 😊

Well no shit Chuck?

How does this help VRA?Publishers buy VRA at market price to reward users to watch content, subscribe at a discount, and drive any number of actions. The purchase of VRA by publishers drives the economy and increases the pool of VRA users

Extra hold adhesive 💨👵👴 😉 no charge

The draft dodger Trump is also an uneducated story teller, which some fools believe.

What's he got to say about pushing a fake russia story for 2 years?

Thankyou Sen. Grassley.

Don't forget ceiling fans, dang it; just any household fans.

Just one of many idiotic things.......

Sarcasm can be confusing.

is a joke !

FACT: Trump has for a long time wanted to do away with a wind turbine near his Golf course in Scotland. HE ACTUALLY BELIEVES IT! mentalillness Obamacare FoxNews FoxandFriends CNN NPR NBC MSNBC maddow

Leftists would totally buy into it if someone said that the wind being slowed down by wind turbines is helping slow down global warming...

Fox News apologizes after graphic says Trump cuts aid to ‘3 Mexican countries’“We had an inaccurate graphic on screen … we just want to be clear the funding is being cut off to three Central American countries. The headline appeared for 30 seconds during a discussion about punitive measures taken by President Trump to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. No more money is going there Pathetic, FoxNews. Apologize to ALL the Mexicos! So they apologize when they make a mistake? They didn't run with it for 2 years and then pat themselves on the back for solid reporting when proven wrong? When Fox News makes a mistake, they immediately apologize, whereas the rest of the mainstream media will run with it's lies as long as they think they can get away with it.

Fox News apologizes for on-screen gaffe saying ‘Trump cuts U.S. aid to 3 Mexican countries’An erroneous graphic appeared Sunday as Fox News co-hosts discussed President Trump's decision to cut foreign assistance to Central America. Pretty sure it was not erroneous. They really are that dumb at FoxNews. And 75% of their viewers still dont know why its wrong. CNN pushing a phony collusion myth for two years is still worse.
