From Fox News: Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Wednesday he had been “naive” about former President Joe Biden and argued Biden would not be remembered as an effective president.
Grassley, who has served alongside nine presidents, told Miranda Devine on the “Pod Force One” podcast that he got along with Biden when they were both senators, noting they worked on legislation together and knew each other personally.
“I think it’s, if you feel like you know somebody well, it’s hard to believe some of the things that you originally heard, now you kind of know. I was a little naive about how I looked at the ‘President Biden’ compared to ‘Sen. Biden,’” Grassley said.
Devine asked Grassley how he would assess Biden’s time in office.
Grassley replied, “Well, considering the fact that he doesn’t look like he was running it — at least in (the) recent two or three years — I think he’ll never go down in history as… a very effective president.”
Watch below:
Grassley, 91, has served in the U.S. Senate for 44 years, since 1981. Prior to that, he was a member of the U.S. Congress for 6 years, from 1975 until 1981.
Devine asked Grassley who was his favorite president throughout all the years he has served in D.C.
His answer: George W. Bush “because he was so much like Iowans… friendly, easy to get along with, would sit down and talk.”
He added that the best president he’s ever served under is Ronald Reagan. “Maybe someday I’ll say Trump’s the best president I ever served under, but right now, it’s Reagan… but the friendliest and one I liked the most is George W. Bush,” Grassley said.
