Chuck Grassley raucous town hall 3/21/2025 [View all]

https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2025/03/21/senator-chuck-grassley-town-hall-gets-heated-quickly-hampton-iowa-franklin-county/82546379007/

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley fielded questions from a packed room of heated Iowans in the Franklin County Courthouse Friday urging him to "stand up for what's right" against Congress and President Donald Trump's administration.

The town hall, which drew a crowd of more than 100 Iowans quickly reaching the room's capacity, comes after the National Republican Congressional Committee recently advised Republicans against holding public town halls as speakers' anger over Trump's administration policies went viral.

“My question, which I think is on our minds here, is where is Congress?” a speaker at the town hall said, which was met with cheers from the audience.
