Texas Sen. Ted Cruz unloaded on his Democratic colleagues on Friday in response to Sen. Dianne Feinstein sending a letter to President Trump declaring that she is “disappointed” in his administration’s plan to block funding to the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, Iran. The Democrats’ demand of Trump to help Iran get $5 billion in aid, Cruz noted, comes “at the exact same time” that they are “blocking desperately need relief to small businesses in America.”
In late March, a group of Democratic lawmakers — among them Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Ilhan Omar (MN), and Rashida Tlaib (MI), and Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) — sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Sec. Steve Mnuchin calling for the easing of U.S. sanctions on Iran during the coronavirus pandemic, a request that was dead on arrival. Iran has since requested $5 billion in aid from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In response to the Trump administration indicating that they have no intention of allowing the terror-sponsoring state to get the massive infusion of money, Sen. Feinstein sent her own letter on Thursday expressing her disappointment.
“The coronavirus has hit Iran hard, with the potential for even greater spread in the region,” the high-ranking Democratic senator tweeted Thursday along with a copy of her letter. “In the interest of international security, President Trump should support Iran’s request to the IMF for emergency funds to contain this virus.”
“I am disappointed to see reports that your administration intends to block Iran from receiving $5 billion in humanitarian aid from the IMF to combat the coronavirus pandemic,” the letter begins. “Providing these funds to Iran would help it respond more effectively to the disease and mitigate the risk of further destabilization in the region.”

She got any stock tips?
Let them use the terrorism money for humanitarian aid instead. (Like they would do that)
bttt
I looked this up:
“U.S. Census data estimates that there are an estimated 1 million Iranian-Americans living in the U.S. Many Iranians in the US fled the oppressive theocracy in Iran, hoping to live in freedom as a Persian-American.”
Probably not a lot of pro-Trump votes in this group. Apparently Diane can count and, in particular, she can count votes and voters. Infections, deaths and GDP are more difficult for her to grasp.
Dem priorities are just always wrong unless you accept the idea that the only thing that matters is getting re-elected.
Figures
She can stick her letter up her old wrinkled ass. Diane Frankenstein is a worthless piece of shit. A typical democrat.
Don’t say things like that on this forum
WOW, nobody has EVER complained about Feinstein out loud.
She is sacrosanct.
BUT, she sure deserves to be outed as the NOT NICE PERSON THAT SHE IS.
Kudos and Bravo to Senator Ted Cruz!!!!
Nancy Pelosi should be behind bars. Diane Feinstein should move to Iran and see how long she lasts.
To quote others,
I hate these people!
Fifth column filth.
Iran’s leadership took a billion euros sent to help their people. the leadership intercepted it and spent it on themselves - citizens be damned. Do we expect something different with a second cash infusion?
Well the Theocracy and Democratic Party Primary, where bitter old men would run your life, seems that’s what Democratic types want.
Btw what happened to these storylines
1. The spread of Coronavirus in Iran where the unwashed are licking religious objects
2. The alleged patient zero for New York City the 30-year-old Iranian woman who was able to return because of injunction preventing enforcing Trumps Iranian travel ban by Dimwit appointed US District judge
Feinstein’s sickening behavior at the Kavanaugh hearings should have alerted any sentient being just how evil a person can get, even someone like Feinstein who was once, long long ago, considered somewhat reasonable. But even the best of folks can sometimes go rotten .. she needs to be removed off the public payroll (and her corrupt financial dealings investigated) ASAP.
If you are a Democrat voter, you are voting for the destruction of our nation.
Anyone who supports any democrat is supporting a TRAITOR! No ifs, ands or buts.
There are far to many empty poles with out heads
