In a breaking report, The Wall Street Journal reveals that the Obama administration sent two more planeloads of cash to Iran following the initial $400 million ransom. The additional cash payments were delivered within 19 days of the American prisoner release and totaled $1.3 billion.
Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick’s response? Continued silence.
Kirkpatrick is still refusing to comment even after learning that the transfer to Iran was "about four times the amount originally disclosed to the public."
Last September, almost to the day, Kirkpatrick decided it would be best to defy the will of the American people by voting for Barack Obama’s nuclear deal. Per her boilerplate statement, the deal provides "a new way forward."
One year later, as her deal crumbles amid heightened aggression and hostility, Arizonans are learning in the worst possible way what Kirkpatrick meant by that.
"A new way forward" entails appeasing and paying ransom to the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism to the detriment of our national security.
When she finally decides to break her silence, will Ann Kirkpatrick guarantee that the additional $1.3 billion shipped to Iran won’t fund terrorism?
