Whose side is Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren on anyway?
Just the day after Iran launched attacks on two of our bases in Iraq, Warren and Sanders were sitting in on a conference call with the Iranian lobbying group, NIAC.
They are catching a little heat from conservatives on it but there has long been a connection between Iran and the Democratic party.
A former CIA officer alleged in a 2009 brief that NIAC was actively working to influence Democrats both in the Trump administration and in Congress. We already know the huge payday that Barack Obama bestowed upon Iran.
In cash and on pallets.
Joe Biden would have been in on the call but Iran has not hired Hunter for anything yet. True, he knows nothing about Iran or their terrorism business but think Burisma.
During the call, both Warren and Sanders bashed President Trump for rushing into war with Iran and both said it started in 2018 when Trump dumped Obama’s illegal treaty with Iran.
While the constitution does allow a president to negotiate treaties with foreign governments, those treaties must be ratified by the Senate, something Obama refused to do.
The conference call came after Wednesday morning’s firing of as many as 15 ballistic missiles at two bases in Iraq housing U.S. troops in a major retaliation by the rogue regime after the U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad International Airport last week.
Iranian efforts to killed American service members were thwarted by the military’s Early Warning Systems, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Wednesday. No U.S. casualties were reported.
“There seems to be a pause in the hostilities for now, and I hope it endures but let’s be clear – this is a crisis of Donald Trump’s making,” Warren told those who dialed in Wednesday night. “The first job of the president of the United States is to keep America safe, but this president’s reckless actions have made us far less safe.
