Senator Chuck Grassley posts series of curious chirps about dead pigeon


While the rest of America obsessed Saturday over the course Senator Chuck Grassley and his colleagues might chart in replacing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, the Iowa lawmaker fixed his attention on a downed pigeon.

“If u lost ur pet pidgin /it’s dead in front yard my Iowa farm,” Grassley, an inventive speller at age 87, chirped on Twitter. “JUST DISCOVERED.”

The Republican Senator added a series of identifiers for the bird before punctuating the tweet: “Sorry for bad news.”

On Saturday evening, Grassley didn’t publicly offer thoughts on President Trump’s plans to ram through a replacement for Ginsburg, who died Friday, with Election Day looming in under seven weeks.

But the legislator left no doubt about the status of the doomed bird.

“No life whatsoever," he tweeted.

The twitter responses are gold.

17. Those tweets felt incoherent.

I don't think they were meant to be a slight against RBG. I think they were the product of a declining mind.

I know he's done horrible things, but when I first read those tweets, I felt pity for him.
