Hampton, Iowa (RI) — More than 100 people attended a town hall meeting held by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley on Friday at the Franklin County Courthouse in Hampton.
The meeting became heated at times, with one man questioning Grassley about where Congress is as President Donald Trump takes actions.
Another person asked about the same subject.
Grassley said afterward that taking the questions is part of his job,
Grassley was asked about what is going to happen with the US Department of Education following the President’s executive order to dismantle it. Grassley says closing the department won’t harm education.
Grassley says the Ed Department will not go away.
The National Republican Congressional Committee recently advised Republicans against holding public town halls after anger from speakers over the Trump administration’s policies went viral. The US House Speaker said he believes the speakers showing up to challenge Republicans are being paid to do so.
