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. Im feeling well and not currently experiencing any symptoms, but its 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.

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?

(47,187 posts)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?

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.

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