Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), 92, published yet another online post<\/u> Saturday complaining about vacuum cleaners, only this time sparking right-wing backlash in the process.<\/p>\n

For years, Grassley has spoken at length about \u201cBeth\u201d \u2013 a vintage Hoover vacuum cleaner that had been used by his family for close to 50 years before it broke earlier this month, leading the Iowa Republican to issue a bizarre eulogy<\/u> for the household appliance. More than a week later on Saturday, Grassley expressed his disappointment that his 1966 Electrolux Corporation canister vacuum cleaner was \u201calso broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Billy Ray Todd<\/u>, a former Republican Alabama state House candidate with a large online following, criticized Grassley for airing his vacuum cleaner-related grievances, arguing<\/u> that the 92-year-old senator should instead \u201cbe in DC passing the SAVE Act,\u201d President Donald Trump\u2019s controversial voter ID bill.<\/p>\n

Joe Dan Gorman<\/u>, a conservative commentator and comedian, argued Grassley\u2019s online post demonstrated either an \u201cenormous detachment from reality or a giant middle finger,\u201d suggesting the 92-year-old should instead be calling for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to \u201cstep down.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Chris Nelson<\/u>, who Yahoo! News described as an independent conservative journalist<\/u>, used Grassley\u2019s post to highlight the senator\u2019s impressive age.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis guy is pushing 100 years old and still in the Senate,\u201d Nelson wrote Saturday in a social media post<\/u> on X. \u201cHe\u2019s not even a boomer. He\u2019s silent generation. His kids are boomers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born in 1933, Grassley is the oldest sitting U.S. senator and the sixth-longest-serving senator in American history, having first won elected office in 1958 during the Eisenhower administration. He has represented Iowa in the Senate since 1981 and is currently the chamber’s president pro tempore, putting him third in the presidential line of succession behind Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).<\/p>\n
