Today's Cuckoo Award goes to a group of people who just can’t bring themselves to say it... Biden won.
“What would be wrong if they said Biden won?” asked the Republican senator, who has berated Democrats for asking Trump's nominees this question.HuffPostBy Jennifer BenderyApr 30, 2026Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) apparently forgot that he’s supposed to be helping President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees avoid saying that Trump lost in 2020, when a hot mic picked him up asking his staff why they won’t just say Joe Biden won.“What would be wrong if they said Biden won?” Grassley, the 92-year-old chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was heard loudly asking his aides in a Wednesday hearing.
Good question senator!
It’s hard to make it out, but you can hear Grassley’s question right around the 1:17:20 mark of the hearing. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) turns his head as Grassley speaks, and in the background, some staffers look surprised by what they heard. Two people who were in the hearing room later confirmed to HuffPost they heard Grassley ask his full question.The GOP senator’s question came as Blumenthal was in the middle of asking four of Trump’s judicial nominees who won in 2020. All refused to say Biden won.

Most importantly, Grassley’s question gets at the heart of why Democrats have been asking Trump’s nominees about 2020 at all: because it’s alarming they won’t say he lost and arguably disqualifying, as it raises red flags about their ability to be impartial judges versus loyalists to this president.
That just shows you the craziness in Washington, doesn't it? These people are terrified of the wrath of Trump! How can they be expected to rule on the law when they are so afraid of one man?
So, without further ado, the coveted Cuckoo Award is given to all the judicial nominees who refused to answer!
