“I thank the chairman for the work that he has done on this issue and the awareness that he has helped to raise not only with Members of this body, but with the American people. The American people are speaking out. They do not want this Iran deal to be on the books. And there are goods reasons why. As I was home and talking to my constituents, many are like me. They are a mom, they are a grandmother, and they fear for what this will do to our country. They fear for what it will do to the safety of our children and future generations. They are asking the right questions: Does Iran deserve the right to be trusted? Absolutely not. When their neighbors don't trust them, should we trust them? The answer is of course not. Is this a transparent agreement? Of course not. The secret side deals that have been made, why would we do that? Why would we incentivize, create a pathway, for Iran to have a nuclear weapon? I think what we should do is require the President to come forward with every component to expose this so we know what kind of future this creates for our children and our grandchildren.”
