Cardin Has to Correct MSNBC Host Who Thought He Supported Iran Nuclear Deal (The Washington Free Beacon)

Sen. Ben Cardin (D., Md.) had to correct MSNBC host Ali Velshi on Thursday when the latter incorrectly stated that Cardin supported the Iran nuclear deal.

President Donald Trump recently decertified Iranian compliance with the agreement and punted the issue to Congress to create a stronger, parallel deal. Velshi claimed he remembered speaking to Cardin "a few years ago" on the subject.

"In my mind, your decision to support it kind of was the nail in the coffin for those who wanted to kill it," Velshi said. "Iran has complied according to the Atomic Energy Commission [International Atomic Energy Agency]. What do you think should happen now with what the president has done?"
