This and other assertions flew through an emotionally-charged town hall meeting conducted by Sen. Chuck Grassley Monday in Pocahontas.
“The president of the United States, that’s who you should be concerned about. Because he’s acting like a little Hitler,” said Tom Eisenhower, a World War II veteran. “I’d take a gun to Washington if enough of you would go with me.”
Grassley met with constituents as part of a junket that also brought him to Humboldt, Ruthven and Rockwell City Monday.
By his count, Grassley’s Pocahontas town hall was his 2,848th such gathering since being elected to the Senate in 1980.
Grassley said the attendance at the town hall meetings has been six times what it was last year.
“It’s great that so many people are getting involved and want to participate in these meetings,” he said. “I want to hear what people have to say, and encourage every Iowan to participate in the democratic process by having dialogue with their elected representatives.”
