Cruz to Dems Backing Iran Deal: Do You Value American Lives, or Obama, More?
Cruz to Democrats Supporting Iran Deal: Do You Value American Lives Or Loyalty To The White House More? (RealClearPolitics)
Republican Senator Ted Cruz, candidate for president, excoriated Senate Democrats on Wednesday for supporting the Iran nuclear deal at a protest against the agreement held on Capitol Hill. Donald Trump, also a candidate for president, also spoke at the event.
"To every Democratic Senator, they are facing a choice, do you value the safety and security of the United Sates of America. Do you value standing with our friend and ally, the nation of Israel? Do you value the lives of millions of Americans or do you value more party loyalty to the Obama White House?" Cruz asked.
Cruz said it is an absolute certainty Americans and Israelis will die at the hands of Iranians if the deal is approved by Congress.
