Presidential press secretary Josh Earnest slammed an anti-Iran deal rally that Sen. Ted Cruz led outside the White House Thursday as "pro-war."
"I'm aware of the pro-war rally," Earnest said of Cruz's rally in Lafayette Park outside of the White House. Asked if he considers all opponents of the Iran deal "pro-war," Earnest said they can explain it for themselves.
He also mentioned one Republican who has said he would be prepared to "launch a military strike against Iran on Inauguration Day." Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has said that his promised tough stance on Iran might "very possibly" result in him striking Iran on his first day in office.
Cruz, a Texas Republican and candidate for the 2016 GOP nomination, spoke Thursday at a rally in Lafayette Park that was organized in opposition to the recent nuclear deal with Tehran.
At the rally, Cruz got into an argument with a Code Pink protester supporting the deal when he said the deal would lead to Iran getting a windfall in sanctions relief that Tehran would use to "kill Americans."
Over the weekend, Cruz said Iran deal would likely force the next president to "take direct military action" to prevent a nuclear catastrophe that "could cost the lives of millions of Americans."
"I think it is likely the next president will be advised in January of 2017, you have two and only two choices: Either you acquiesce [to] Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon or direct military action must be used to take it out," he said. "I think that's unfortunate, but that's what President Obama is forcing."
The White House is comedy gold.

Gonna happen eventually. Shouldn’t let Iran nuke up first.
So right you are Obama.
And without nukes for the time being.
Now tuck that head away until the need for another bombastic pronouncement.
Asked if he considers all opponents of the Iran deal “pro-war,”
Yet these same people can listen to Mullahs
chanting “Death to America” and not see it as a threat?
Talk about disconnected.
Note to this administration, the state of Iran
has been at war with us since 1979.
More newspeak from the ministry of information.
Well since they’re chanting “death to America” yeah, war is a possibility.
You have to discourage the elements of the world that seek to profit from war. They will always be there. You have to make them understand that waging war is a lost cause. Obama does just the opposite.
And pro-life bad, abortion good.
Its obscene.
And some of us know the white hut is FOS and the animals in it only lie when their lips move.
Not allowing violent terrorists to have nukes is pro-war.
wow. Leftist logic is stupid
Great now the Dems are running plays from 2006.
“White House says Cruz’s anti-Iran deal rally was ‘pro-war’”
Obama’s PRO-Iran, PRO-Russia, deal was pro “bend way over and show KGB Putin how ‘flexible’ you can be”.
Allen West’s comments on the Obama/Kerry surrender:
meanwhile Obama makes ready for a huge war against USA (by enabling and funding his Iranian comrades’ nuclear ICBM arsenal...aimed at USA)
a little ‘war’ (mostly, a few days action by the USAF) to eliminate the danger now,
or a BIG BIG BIG GIANT war.. .with millions of American casualties.... a little bit later -— the ObamaKerry way...
