Look: I don't like to go that strong on a hed, but this is a "representative" going off on a constituent for asking a basic question.

Let's not mince words. I have decent gaydar from my time as a raver. I think she assessed the situation correctly, but the reaction was uncalled for. I hope she gets primaried to hell.

Because that's where someone like this belongs.

Wikipedia can be wrong. The GOP controls the Senate, meaning Grassley can't be chair. Let's please not claim things that aren't true.

Why would you think he was a Democrat anyhow? It was a Town Hall video showing...

citizens grilling Senator Grassley about the abduction and deportation of the Venezuelans.

I was being a fucking idiot. Simple as that.

It's fine. You were not rude about it. That's why I am here not Reddit.

Am impressed that you recalled Grassley's previous role in the committee.
