Bob Schieffer to Bob Corker: Aren’t Republicans To Blame for Problems with Iran Deal?

SCHIEFFER: “Do you think this is all the fault of the administration? You don’t think that some of the tactics the Republicans have used might have added to this friction here?”
CORKER: “Well, look, I don’t think anybody, when you get into a situation like this, I don’t think any group has acted in a perfect manner. Look, as I mentioned, there are a lot of tensions, a lot of drama. But let’s face it. They have been pushing Congress away from this from day one. So, this has gone back for a long time. And please remember, Bob Menendez has signed on. We have got — Chuck Schumer is supportive of this legislation. So, Bob, regardless of some of the drama , the fact is, we have a building strong bipartisan consensus that, at the end of the day, before anything is implemented, Congress should at least be able to say grace over the fact that these sanctions that we put in place that brought Iran to the table, we ought to be able to analyze this deal, as is the norm, and say grace up or down as to whether we think those sanctions ought to be removed.”
