WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Bill Hagerty (R-TN) joined Larry Kudlow on Fox Business to discuss the need for a bipartisan bill reimposing sanctions on Iran. Excerpts and video below.
On Lack of Bipartisan Support on Sanctioning Iran:
“Senator Hagerty could speak to this as well as anybody he went to the floor last night with requesting unanimous consent on Iran Sanctions Relief Act, that would require all sanction relief to come to the Congress before they would be enacted, and of course, Democrats objected to that. Senator Cotton made another request yesterday for unanimous consent on the floor, and Democrats objected to that, which would have frozen that $6 billion we often talk about, which is not a great deal of money, but it's a pretty significant symbol of just how depraved we've become. I was hopeful there'd be some bipartisan support for that so far, not.”
On the Biden Administration’s War on Energy:
“[Democrats] hate domestic oil production so much they prefer that Iran and Venezuela produce oil and sell it to our adversaries with their poor environmental records than actually have America producing cleaner energy and selling it around the world.”
On the Biden Administration’s Policies in the Region:
“It all began with the Iran nuclear deal, which was an Obama initiative that they supported. President Trump got rid of. Now they’re trying to do it quietly if they can’t do it openly. It’s disgusting.”
