Democrats protest Grassleys in rural New Hartford

“Hey, hey, ho, ho, Chuck Grassley’s got to go,” protestors chanted in front of Senator Grassley’s rural New Hartford home Saturday morning.

While Representative Steve King characterized Senator Grassley as brave Horatius at the gate defending Rome at a meeting of the Butler County Republicans in Clarksville Saturday night, Butler County Democrats at the protest expressed a far different opinion of Grassley’s work as chair of the judicial committee.

Nearly 20 marched the two miles from Chuck Grassley’s home to his grandson State Representative Pat Grassley’s residence.

“We’re here to hold Senator Grassley accountable, and also his grandson Pat Grassley,” one protestor said. “They’re both in this together, intent on destroying government both in Washington and in Des Moines.”
