Barack Obama and those who were at the White House when he was president like to say their much celebrated (among themselves and the Iranian regime at the time) Iran deal had kept that country’s leadership from getting close to developing a nuclear weapon. That of course was another lie on top of “if you like your plan you can keep it”:
Last time U.N inspectors were able to verify, Iran had 970 pounds of 60% enriched uranium.

Ro Khanna: “And one president delivered! And that was Barack Obama!”
Maria Bartiromo: “No, that’s not true … Congressman, you’re talking fantasy! Obama… pic.twitter.com/b3yEoKSlj0

He focused group being a moderate and it didn’t work, so now he’s moving toward being a complete fool, which is what the base wants… https://t.co/Yhvf2N24da

The lefty base insists that the entire party be completely insane, which is why there’s so much criticism being lobbed at Sen. Fetterman, possibly the last sane Democrat.

Editor’s Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all while the Democrats have meltdowns about it.
