Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) defended President Trump on Wednesday after the president traded criticisms with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
In a tweet, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman said he did not recall Roberts "attacking" former President Obama when he criticized a Supreme Court ruling in his 2010 State of the Union address.
"Chief Justice Roberts rebuked Trump for a comment he made abt judges decision on asylum," Grassley wrote on Twitter. "I dont recall the Chief attacking Obama when that Prez rebuked Alito during a State of the Union."

Grassley's comments came after Roberts rebuked Trump earlier Wednesday for calling a federal judge who ruled against his administration's asylum policy an "Obama judge."

I think there's a difference between disagreeing with a decision and a personal attack. Sorry if that's not obvious to you Grassley.

(21,111 posts)He is suffering from cult brainwashed dementia or is insane. He seems to forget that President Obama criticized as an attack on our democracy and money corrupting our politics. He seems to forget that Alito mouthed no when he brought up foreign influence in our elections. Which is precisely what happened in 2016.

Funny that Grassley should view that as a rebuke.

(56,828 posts)Trump viewed it as a rebuke, so Grassley is just following Trump's lead.
Expect to hear that Roberts & family have received threatening calls/messages since the Trump tweet
