Democratic Senate hopeful Bruce Braley apologized Tuesday for comments at a fundraiser at a Texas law firm in which he said if Republicans took control of the Senate, U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, would chair the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Republicans pounced on the remarks, which were contained in a video posted by America Rising, a conservative political action committee.
The group said the video was shot at a fundraiser at a law firm in Corpus Christi. The event was in January.
Braley, a Democrat from Waterloo who is a lawyer, said in the video the 2014 election represented a stark contrast.
If you help me win this race, you may have someone with your background, your experience, your voice, someone whos been literally fighting tort reform for 30 years in a visible and public way on the Senate Judiciary Committee or you might have a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school, never practiced law, serving as the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Because if Democrats lose the majority, Chuck Grassley will be the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Republicans criticized Braley, saying he not only had denigrated Grassley but also farmers. Senate GOP hopeful Mark Jacobs called the remarks offensive.
Bruce Braleys ignorant remarks are yet another reminder that he only aims to serve one group: trial lawyers nationwide; not Iowans, Jacobs said in a statement shortly after noon.
Within an hour of his statement, a conservative advocacy group in the state, a representative of the Republicans campaign arm in the U.S. Senate and the re-election campaign for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad had all responded to the comments with emails and social media, criticizing Braley and amplifying his statement.
Joni Ernst, a GOP Senate candidate, said:
As an Iowa farm girl myself, I find it amusing that Braley thinks what Iowans need is yet another trial lawyer or outside Texas influences what we need are simply more good old Iowa values, she said.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY The hopes of the three Republicans vying to become the first GOP county executive in nearly a quarter-century may hinge on how bruising the Democratic primary turns out to be, experts said Tuesday after the field was set for the Aug. 5 election.
Political observers and strategists believe the ultimate electability of state Rep. Rick Stream, R-Kirkwood, Green Park Alderman Tony Pousosa and Ellisville City Councilman Matt Pirrello could rest on the damage inflicted in the Democratic primary by County Councilman Steve Stenger and incumbent Charlie Dooley, who have already begun sparring.
Ideally, Republicans say, the winner of the Democratic primary will emerge as a politically battered candidate with a depleted treasury.
When there is a contentious primary on one side, said Republican strategist John Hancock, the side that doesnt have a contentious primary wins.
The short turnaround between the primary and November general election could force a Democrat politically wounded in August to struggle to find his footing in the fall campaign, Hancock added.
Pointing to controversies in the Dooley administration, including an FBI investigation into a police board appointee, and unhappiness in Stengers district over a senior housing complex, state Republican chairman Ed Martin contends both would be vulnerable even without a primary.
The demographics are always tough in St. Louis County, but I think this is a really good opportunity, Martin said.
A Republican last occupied the office of county executive in 1991.
Republicans acknowledge that the numbers in a county that delivered solid majorities to Barack Obama in both 2008 and 2012 favor the Democratic county executive nominee in the November general election.
Moreover, notes Jane Dueker, a Stenger supporter and former chief of staff to Missouri Gov. Bob Holden, what the Republicans forget is that they have their own primary.
