In an editorial from the New Hampshire Union Leader this morning, Maggie Hassan was criticized for her support of President Obama’s disastrous Iran Deal. The editorial chides Hassan for her “tough talk” on foreign policy and acknowledges that “there’s nothing behind it.”
Moreover, Hassan is called out for ignoring news of the $400 million ransom that was paid to Iran for the release of four American prisoners. It has been SIX DAYS since this news broke, and still nothing from Maggie Hassan.

Hassan wrong on Iran: Empty foreign policy promises
New Hampshire Union Leader
Maggie Hassan seems to think that the best way to keep Iran from developing a nuclear weapon is to give them planeloads full of cash, do nothing as they test ballistic missiles, and let them inspect their own nuclear facilities.
…
The Hassan campaign’s national security plan contains tough talk about containing Russian and Chinese aggression, and stopping Iran’s nuclear ambitions. But there’s nothing behind it. Hassan is mistaken if she thinks the ludicrous Iran deal is how to hold aggressive regimes in check.
…
Hassan hasn’t said a word publicly about the State Department’s payoff, coincidentally held up until Iran released four American prisoners.
By standing up for a crumbling Iran deal, Hassan shows that her tough talk on national security is just empty bluster.
