WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Grassley is quarantining at home after being exposed to the coronavirus.

The Iowa Republican issued a statement Tuesday saying he had just learned of the exposure.

“I will follow my doctors’ orders and immediately quarantine as I await my test results,” Grassley said. “I’m feeling well and not currently experiencing any symptoms, but it’s important we all follow public health guidelines to keep each other healthy.”

Grassley, 87, said he would continue working virtually while in quarantine. As the most senior Senate Republican, Grassley holds the title of Senate President Pro Tem, placing him third in the line of succession.

5. Now its important?!?!?!?

"important we all follow public health guidelines to keep each other healthy.” Not before, only now when it affects you personally.

Grassley is 87, if he gets the COVID he is dead....chances of survival are pretty bad for him.

I don't really care, do you?

11. I was thinking the same thing

If he did get COVID at 87, that could be really bad. Even if he survives it, his health could be permanently affected. Might be a good time to retire Chucky. Is this really how he wants to spend the last years of his life?

6. Even as a potential victim at 87, you have to bet that Chuckles wasn't wearing a mask

so Fuck you Chuck. Hope you got a good dose. Maybe if one of these fuckers finally had a truly bad experience Republicans would get a hint.

7. Fingers crossed.

8. Didn't Sen. Sherrod Brown chastise his Republican colleagues for not wearing masks on the floor of

the Senate just yesterday?

9. the view was showing some clip with

?dan sullivan? saying he wasn't going to wear a mask when talking.
the masked individual sounded like sherrod but the view said it was rand paul.
now i'm gonna google

yep. as i thought and as you said.

10. Who's the 2nd most senior Republican? hahaha

He's old and feeble and should know better than to risk exposure to fellow morans. Even as republicans go, I don't like Grassley.

That's what these idiots get for following their orange god's lead. I hate to be that way, but I'm tired of the GOP being a menace to public health.

12. Get well soon, Chuck.

I want you to learn just how much you and your GOP colleagues have done to harm America during the Covid pandemic.

Quick question: Remember all those times you voted to repeal Obamacare?
