(Radio Iowa) — Senator Chuck Grassley says he was notified last Friday that a Long Island, New York man had been arrested for making a threat against Grassley.

Grassley has been a member of congress since 1975.

Grassley cites the harassment fellow senators Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell got when they went out to eat in the D-C area with their wives.

Grassley says the New York man who was arrested a week ago for threatening Grassley’s life also made threats over the phone to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
