Trust But Vilify: Schumer Announces He Opposes Iran Deal; Obama Henchman Dan Pfeiffer Accuses Him of Wanting "War With Iran"

Now I still think this is all Failure Theater -- Dems like Schumer with a lot of Jewish voters will be allowed to vote against the deal, while Democrats in safer, more anti-semitic areas will vote in great enough numbers to push this piece of shit through -- but it is interesting to see the White House react with its typical grace and honesty to a critic.

If you can't read the tweet Pfeiffer is responding to -- it's about MoveOn calling for a purge of Schumer.

Fred Fleitz comments:

Schumer's decision to defect now despite intense pressure from the White House is a major blow to President Obama and the Iran deal. But the deal's opponents still have lot of work to do to win enough support in the House and Senate to override a veto of a resolution of disapproval. Schumer may do little to convince other senators to oppose the Iran deal and could still vote to uphold a presidential veto.

The reason the Schumer defection matters is because it puts the lie to the Obama administration’s shameful claim that opponents of the Iran deal are partisan extremists who want war with Iran. Schumer's announcement is a powerful indication that opposition to this terrible agreement is in fact principled and bipartisan.

Well, according to White House henchman, he's just a dual-loyalty Jew who wants War with Iran.
