Thanks Laura. What a strange yet predictable -‘I want it both ways’ response by the President pro tempora of the United States Senate. Grassley gave deference to DJT’s protection of his Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth just like he seemed to give deference to Trump’s equally slimy HHS Secretary pick. When I called in my concerns on the Capitol phone line about the HHS nominee RFK Jr. and his misinformation anti vaccine-MMR campaign.
In 2019, during a resurgence of a worldwide Measles virus outbreak. RFK Jr. fueled this epidemic by spreading lies about the MMR vaccine causing young parents to pause their children from receiving the vaccine and subsequently caused the deaths of 83 babies and children and over 4,700 Samoans becoming sick.
My concerns were batted away by Grassley as ‘the president could have whoever he chose to be his HHS secretary’- (as he sent one of his standard multi paragraph email statements to me) just like his verbal defense of Trump’s Hegseth and how the Defense Department needs things ‘shook up’ and ‘long overdue’ under Hegseth’s leadership.
And yet then he seemed to pretend to be riled up about ‘why would you share the US Air Force strike plans with family members?’ I guess my sentiments exactly and as a follow up question to Senator Grassley: ‘Why would you be so confident in your vote in favor of Hegseth (as well as RFK Jr) back in January. Grassley as well as Ernst could have voiced their concerns about Hegseth’s paucity for sound judgment, (as was RFK Jr’s toying with the public’s trust in the efficaciousness of vaccines while Measles virus is currently infecting and killing more people throughout the nation).

Mother for liberty can dish it out but can't take it?
I had a real problem with those two when I lived in Iowa. And I’m a Democrat!
