Washington, D.C. — Senator Chuck Grassley says President Trump must “take responsibility” for his actions in Washington on Wednesday.
Grassley issued a written statement, saying “as the leader of the nation, the President bears some responsibility for the actions that he inspires – good or bad.” Grassley went on to say that Trump “displayed poor leadership.” Grassley is the longest-serving Republican in the U.S. Senate. He is not joining Democrats call for Trump’s removal from office before the President’s term expires at noon on January 20th.
In an email to supporters Thursday night, Grassley said he was proud to vote to re-elect President Trump and doesn’t doubt there were irregularities in the 2020 election. But Grassley said after all the lawsuits filed on Trump behalf were unsuccessful, he hopes people can put aside disappointment in the election results and join him in accepting Joe Biden as our next president.
