Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is stepping up his promise to kill President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, using a new video to also rip GOP challenger Jeb Bush’s fence-sitting on the controversy.
“We will not surrender another inch of ground. America will not be intimidated, and neither will I,” he said on the new video provided to Secrets.
The 30-second video suggests that Obama has committed an “historic surrender” for agreeing to end economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for Tehran killing its nuclear weapon program. Critics in Congress, including some Democrats, don’t believe Tehran will follow through.
Walker also features a question and answer session between voters and Bush in which he said that he will study the deal but not rip it up on “the first day.”
Walker said, “I refuse to live with a deal that threatens our safety and that of our closest allies. See, unlike others, I don’t need months or years to mull this over. If Congress fails to stop the nuclear deal, I will terminate it on day one.”
