Members of Trump’s own party have lined up to condemn the deal, which pledges to help fund Iran and scrap sanctions
Republicans have turned on Donald Trump over his plan to end the war with Iran, accusing him of making the “worst foreign policy blunder in decades”.
The U.S. released the 14-point interim agreement on Wednesday as Trump signed the documents in Versailles, France. The terms included stopping the conflict and reopening the vital shipping route, the Strait of Hormuz, but also financing Iran’s recovery with a $300bn fund and scrapping sanctions.
“Reagan is rolling over in his grave,” said Louisiana senator Bill Cassidy on Wednesday, referring to the former president Trump admires.
I mean, we’ve already seen them vote for and otherwise support women (including MTG herself) for political office, so it seems this “principle” is pretty flexible/unimportant compared to all the hateful shit they’d like to get up to.
True. That’s why it will be interesting to see how it plays out. I saw some of them go ga-ga over Palin as potential VP, too. And she was just as gross and nasty and unqualified as MTG. And McCain was up there in years, and so him passing while being in office was not all that remote of a possibility.
It’s possible that she was a factor in him losing that election, though.
I’m familiar enough with lots of conservatives and heard them talk about women holding power. Being a Rep is one thing, being President is quite another…I don’t know who she ran against as far as Republicans, but she was from a R+19 district.
But ultimately, watching them try to balance “but she’s a woman she should not rule over men” up against the truly awful and un-American and disgusting things she would likely try to bring about, for example, making this a “Christian nation” will be interesting.
