Fox News, April 27, 2016 – On Fox News shortly after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s foreign policy speech today, former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton evaluated what the GOP frontrunner had to say about Iran’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons.
He also stated the inconvenient truth about the Obama administration’s nuclear “deal” with Iran, namely that it puts the jihad-driven, terrorist-funding, death-to-America regime “on a highway to nuclear weapons” — a reality that the Barack Obama-defending press simply won’t admit, at least partially because elements of the press, particularly alleged “journalists” at the Associated Press, helped clear the route for that highway:
Transcript, which contains Bolton’s answer to a question the video cuts off about whether Trump’s stance on the Iran nuclear deal “calms the concerns” of those who haven’t heard him denounce it to this point (first 45 seconds; bolds are mine):
JOHN BOLTON: Well, I didn’t have a text of the speech in front of me. I was just listening, so I may have heard it wrong. But it sounded to me like he did not say that he would except the deal and try to improve it. What I heard him say several times was, “Iran will not get nuclear weapons.” Now my view from the outset has been that signing this deal was a strategic mistake. I don’t think it can be fixed or renegotiated. I think it should be repudiated. That’s something Senator Cruz has said is his position. But the key is to say, “They will never get nuclear weapons,” because the deal now puts them on a highway to nuclear weapons. Thought it was a strong statement.
The public needs to be continually reminded, which is why I continue to do it, that the establishment press is more than a cheerleader for the nuclear “deal” with Iran, which it considers a positive Obama administration accomplishment, even a “historic” one. The press is part of the reason why things have gotten to this dangerous point.
