As Twitchy reported<\/a>, Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa stirred up a small-scale controversy Thursday when he tweeted that he’d hit a deer with his car. Grassley said he assumed the deer was killed, but a concerned few wanted to know for sure. We’ll give Grassley credit for addressing his constituents, but it seems the senator has changed his story.<\/p>\n

Two days after the incident, Grassley is claiming that his Prius was “attacked” by a “dear.” These details just don’t add up. Are we getting into Kennedy territory here?<\/p>\n\n\n

Chuck Grassley drives a prius?!?!<\/p>\n

@jryanlaw<\/a> I’m leery of both Grassley claims.A member of the GOP in a Prius?Attack deer?Sounds like a cover-up.<\/p>\n

If chuck grassley was a real republican he would have brought the deer home and eaten it, like my parents did in the old days<\/p>\n

That deer attacked Grassley’s car like in a bullfight: Stamped the ground, lowered its head, snorted and charged!!<\/p>\n

\n\n\n<\/p>

So come on down to Chuck Grassley’s Venison Splatter Hut, where the deer is always assumed dead and kids eat free! #AssumeDeerDead<\/a><\/p>\n

The dead deer is contesting the newest accusation.<\/p>\n\n\n

I DIDN’T ATTACK MT.@chuckgrassley<\/a>Followers asked about condition of deer that attacked our Prius didn’t hv flashlight to check on critter<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>
