he will not attend this year's Republican National Convention, marking the first time he has sat out a convention since he was elected to the U.S. Senate 40 years ago.
Grassley, 86, said he has attended every RNC since he was elected to the Senate in 1980. The conventions are held every four years to nominate the party's candidate for president. This year, President Donald Trumpfor reelection at a convention in Jacksonville, Florida, which is scheduled for Aug. 24-27.
Grassley said it made sense to move the convention from North Carolina since the governor didn't feel it was safe to host a large gathering there. When he last held events around Memorial Day, Grassley said those who attended generally either wore masks or kept six feet apart. He said he will encourage attendees to do both.
Is it COVID-19 or that he is fraudulently operating as a member of Congress? I will let you be the jury and I will be the judge. I say he is guilty of both!
Chuck, you’re not wearing a mask in the photo when the epidemiologist is. You can’t be too concerned about COVID.
But donny says all good, I think he should go.
SO?
Submarine_Guy First domino
He can thank Uncle Donald
But Chuck, it's harmless...99% of cases are harmless, don't you listen to your leader?
I'm sure that is not the only reason.
Wow, I'm over here applauding Grassley. 2020 is wild!!!
So he is concerned about his own health but apparently not those of the people he represents. He refuses to take a stand against the president and his lies about covin19 that is murdering us. Do us a favor Chuck, attend the convention without a mask
They need to cancelthe convention and do a virtual convention
Could someone remind the RNC that when white privileged men are scared of a virus we should NOT be sending people to school in the GD fall?!?
I agree. Trump is phucking wacko.
C'mon Chuck - where's your patriotism?
Coward.
