Grassley's office says it has received profane phone calls amid Kavanaugh fight

Staffers for GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, are fielding heated phone calls amid backlash over Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination.

One caller told a staffer who was answering phones in Grassley's office that the GOP senator was a "f---ing piece of 's---" and added that the aide was also a "piece of s---."

"He can’t die from a heart attack soon enough," the caller added, according to examples provided by Grassley's office to reporters about what has been said to staffers who answer the front desk phones.

Another caller told an aide that they "hope you get raped so you can understand what that woman is going through.” While another called a Grassley staffer "racist trash."

An aide said such calls were first made to the office last week.

I don't think the comments are right but I understand the sentiment.
