The theme that we are talking about right now is a complete overturning of a maximum pressure campaign on Iran from 2017 through the end of 2020. In 2021, we began a new theme, and that theme was appeasement: appeasement of Iran…

This is a sad day. It is a sad day that we have to be here, but the Framers of our Constitution forecasted that this could occur. While we are going to hear that this is a policy difference, that this is maladministration. This is the…
