A Look Back at Grassley’s X Posts
Grassley’s oldest post on the platform dates back to November 26, 2007. Over the years, he has shared a mix of congressional updates, farm life observations, and personal anecdotes that have made him an unlikely social media icon.
Some of his most notable posts include his first-ever tweet, a post about burning his pant legs while burning trees, and a series of posts about a dead pigeon he found on his farm. He has also shared posts about his family gatherings, including his responsibilities during these events, such as vacuuming with his trusty Hoover vacuum, which he has named ‘Faithful Beth’.
Grassley has also used his platform to engage with his followers and share his thoughts on various topics, including the lack of history programming on the History Channel. He has even collaborated with the network on a feature about a Korean War veteran from Denver, Iowa.
One of his most well-known posts is arguably his ‘U kno what’ tweet, which garnered headlines due to its shorthand language. Grassley later clarified that the phrase was a reference to good ice cream, specifically a Blizzard from Dairy Queen.
