In poll after poll after poll, the American people expressed their opposition to President Obama’s deal and profound skepticism that Iran will abide by its terms.
The Iran deal was so bad that even Democratic leader-in-waiting Chuck Schumer was ready to vote against it.
Yet, Michael Bennet defied the will of American people by supporting this deal and silenced our voice by filibustering three times a vote on the merits.
His willingness to do so raises the question: What was Michael Bennet promised for his loyalty to President Obama over our security?
SCRIPT…
Senator Bennet supports the Iran nuclear deal.
Billions to Iranian terrorists.
Lifting ballistic missile arms controls.
Iran inspecting it’s own nuclear sites.
A path to the bomb.
A deal so bad many Democrats were ready to vote against it.
But not Michael Bennet.
Bennet voted three times to block the Senate from voting to kill the deal.
Why?
Obama personally lobbied him.
What was he promised for his vote?
Michael Bennett put loyalty to Obama over our national security

Harry Reid: “But Let’s Not Play Games Here, A Vote On Cloture Is A Vote For The Iran Deal Or Not The Iran Deal.” “Asked how Democrats would respond to that, Reid replied: ‘If he wants to waste the time to have a cloture vote, that’s fine. But let’s not play games here, a vote on cloture is a vote for the Iran deal or not the Iran deal.’” (Burgess Everett, “Senate Dems Confident They Can Block Iran Disapproval,” Politico, 9/9/15)
Democrat Leader-In-Waiting Chuck Schumer Opposes The Iran Deal
Schumer Wrote That He Would Vote To Disapprove The Iran Deal. "I will vote to disapprove the agreement, not because I believe war is a viable or desirable option, nor to challenge the path of diplomacy. It is because I believe Iran will not change, and under this agreement it will be able to achieve its dual goals of eliminating sanctions while ultimately retaining its nuclear and non-nuclear power. Better to keep U.S. sanctions in place, strengthen them, enforce secondary sanctions on other nations, and pursue the hard-trodden path of diplomacy once more, difficult as it may be. For all of these reasons, I believe the vote to disapprove is the right one." (Senator Chuck Schumer, "My Position on the Iran Deal," Medium, 8/7/15)
