“What would be wrong if they said Biden won?” Grassley [R], the 92-year-old chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was heard loudly asking his aides in a Wednesday hearing.

Grassley’s remark caught on the mic undermines his public criticisms of Democrats for asking Trump’s nominees this question at all. He opened a hearing earlier this month by lambasting Democrats for having “relentlessly attacked” the president’s nominees with this question, and suggested their questions are “political theater” with no meaningful purpose behind them.
He’s also been giving cover to Trump’s nominees’ evasive answers by arguing it’s accurate when they say Biden was “certified” as president — which is true, except he knows this is how they’ve avoided answering the basic question of who won in 2020.
92 years old, obviously doesn’t have all his marbles, and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Major “weekend at Bernie’s” energy here.
His age is wild, but also he’s been a senator for 45 years. He became a Senator before MTV or the personal computer existed. He hasn’t lived in the real world longer than most Americans have been alive.
