How did Senator Russ Feingold react to Iran’s increasingly hostile behavior? With more praise for President Obama and his nuclear deal.
As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports, the nuclear deal with Iran exposes a "gulf" between Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson and Barack Obama surrogate Russ Feingold.
While Wisconsinites have depended on Chairman Johnson to fight the Iran deal tooth-and-nail, Barack Obama has depended on Russ Feingold to support him with abundant praise.
Earlier this very week, Wisconsin Watchdog reported that Senator Feingold is "all in" on the Iran deal as he hit the airwaves to tout President Obama’s leadership:
"[Obama’s] helped us avoid a war with Iran by having this nuclear deal that hopefully will work and prevent us from being in a situation with a country where we’ve had a very, very bad situation for like 40 or 50 years." -Senator Russ Feingold, 1/15/16

Now that John Kerry and Josh Earnest finally shed light on why this deal is so dangerous, is Senator Feingold still "all in" for putting money in the hands of terrorists?
