Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) wouldn’t denounce bringing guns to town halls at one of his own town halls in Cherokee, Iowa, on Wednesday.
An audience member asked Grassley if he would publicly denounce the gun-toters, writes an Iowa resident who blogs at TableTopTalk.
The senator replied, “We need a more civil society and we need the kind of civility that Jesus spoke about when he used the word agape: interest and seeking the highest good and welfare of the other person.”
Grassley’s office has confirmed the account.
