I forgot to say, did you mean Democrats like Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y who voted against the deal in 2015 but has since (Oct 2017) encouraged Trump to keep it and enforce it (well, he was until Trump made the ridiculous decision to pull out of it entirely)
Democrats who opposed Iran nuclear deal urge Trump to keep pact
"Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee last week that Iran "is not in material breach of the agreement." Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said at the same hearing that the deal is still in the U.S. national security interest.
More than 180 House Democrats sent a letter to Trump last week calling on him to certify compliance unless he could produce "credible evidence of a material breach by Iran." Among the lawmakers who signed the letter were Engel and 12 other House Democrats who had criticized the deal when it was reached two years ago. Among them were Reps. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., and Nita Lowey, D-N.Y."
After all, what does the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Defence Secretary and 180 House Democrats know anyway (including 12 that originally voted against it)? |
