Today’s front-runner in the ‘Needs a punch in the throat’ sweepstakes - Chuck Grassley.

GRASSLEY tells me re: Avenatti: “Seems to me he wants to protect people involved in pornography and he’s running for president. I don’t know what his motivations are. … but really what’s important here isn’t the lawyer … [it’s] the woman who says she’s been harmed.”

Seems pretty telling that Grassley thinks “people involved in pornography” are not worth protecting, while stating no objection whatsoever to the President’s extramarital affair with the exact same person. https://t.co/oYYcxp4wpj
