GOP Senator Blasted for Calling Pandemic a Mere Interlude That Interrupted the Trump Tax Cut EconomyU.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is being blasted for his tweet responding to the huge employment numbers released Friday morning. The economy gained 850,000 jobs, far more than expected.

The horrible disease that came upon us and is still wreaking havoc cannot be described as a freakin interlude, numnuts.

Interlude can also refer to the pauses between the acts of a play and COVID-10 is no f---ing play.
I'd say send Grassley back to school, but his mind is already wasted with no hope for recovery.
