Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I would urge opposition to this motion. This motion asks the Senate to endorse President Trump's Iran policy--a policy that, if you didn't notice, was a complete, total failure. The motion calls for a provision in the underlying bill to prohibit a return to the JCPOA and to keep Trump's ``maximum pressure'' campaign intact until a mythical comprehensive agreement is achieved with Iran, inclusive of all their malevolent behavior. This policy just hasn't worked. To apply it prospectively would be ruinous. Friends, Iran is weeks away from having enough nuclear material for a weapon. To deny this administration the ability to enter into a nuclear agreement isn't just folly; it is downright dangerous. I wish a comprehensive agreement with Iran was possible, but 4 years of failure by President Trump was proof that, for the time being, it is not. We should not endorse 4 more years of this failed Iran policy. I urge opposition. Vote on Motion The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion.”
