Ouch: this one's going to leave a mark. Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton has said that "John Kerry acted like Pontius Pilate, he washed his hands" on crucial issues in the Iran deal and left it to the IAEA to negotiate secret side deals with Iran on them.
Cotton made his remarks on today's Morning Joe. It might be a mark of the regard, or lack thereof, in which Kerry is held that no one on the panel rose to his defense. Former Dem congressman Harold Ford, Jr. was given the floor immediately after Cotton spoke, and blithely inquired only if Kerry would be asked about these issues in his Senate testimony. A bit later in the show, Dem Sen. Tim Kaine appeared. Kaine presumably either watched or was briefed on Cotton's statement, but made not a peep to push back on the Pontius Pilate analogy.

Tom Cotton says Kerry acted “like Pontius Pilate” in washing his hands of tough issues in Iran negotiations. Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Great analogy.
How many LIVs even know who Pontius Pilate was, and what he did?
Good question. I’m guessing—hoping—that at the least they’d know it was a grave insult.
I think he acted like Hanoi Boi Kerry siding with the North Vietnamese.
I like Tom Cotton!
BTW, someone will have to explain to those GODLESS bastards in the 0bama regime who Pontius Pilate was.
Kerry betrayed the USA before Obama made betraying the USA cool.

I think Pontius was the guy who invented Pilates, wasn’t he?
There’s an apocryphal story about a young child in a Sunday School class who was asked to draw a picture of Good Friday, so he drew a plane with Jesus as a passenger, being flown by Pontius the Pilot.
LIVs: “Pontius Pilate? Who does he fly for?”
