Sen. Tom Cotton challenged Vice President Joe Biden’s criticism of the GOP’s letter to Iran, questioning his foreign policy expertise.
“Joe Biden, as [President] Barack Obama’s own secretary of defense has said, has been wrong about nearly every foreign policy and national security decision in the last 40 years,” the Arkansas Republican said Tuesday on MSNBC.
“Moreover, if Joe Biden respects the dignity of the institution of the Senate he should be insisting that the president submit any deal to approval of the Senate, which is exactly what he did on numerous deals during his time in Senate,” Cotton said.
Cotton was joined by 46 Senate Republicans in a letter sent directly to Iranian leaders, warning them that Congress has to approve any nuclear deal the between the U.S. and Iran.
On Monday night, Biden fired back at the senators and the letter in a White House statement, describing it as “beneath the dignity of an institution I revere.”
Cotton reiterated Tuesday morning on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that, “If Congress doesn’t approve a deal, Congress won’t accept a deal.”
