Cory Booker: ‘We Should Have Been Continuing To Do with the Iran Deal that Obama Made’
EXCERPT:
BOOKER: "Well, again, we‘ve seen misdirection and outright lies from the administration for a long time. And this deal that they‘re saying is not a conclusion of the crisis that Donald Trump plunged us in, it‘s actually a furthering of the disgrace, because what Donald Trump is doing right now is trying to claw back and just get back to the point we were before this whole crisis started. But the damage is done. The regime is more extreme, not less. The regime still has their highly enriched uranium, and he has no plan to get it out. He said that that was going to be part of further discussions. What this is just about is the Strait of Hormuz, which was not closed before this all began. And my worry here is that this Iranian regime, because of this opening, is going to be able to receive billions of dollars in oil money that they‘re going to use to further their low cost drones that are still plaguing the area, funding of their proxies that are doing terrorist activities throughout the Middle East and endangering Americans, and ultimately strengthening them to continue to resist what, frankly, we should have been continuing to do with the Iran deal that Obama made. So this is a president that -- this is shameful. He is failing, and this is no great deal. It‘s a furtherance of the disaster that he created."
