Pelosi on Iran deal opponents: ‘Have they even read it?’

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi wondered Thursday whether opponents of President Obama’s Iran nuclear program agreement read the deal before coming out in opposition to it, and said she’s certain she can keep enough Democrats in line to sustain an Obama veto and preserve his policy.

Praising both Mr. Obama and former President George W. Bush, who she said began building the international coalition that first imposed sanctions and then earlier this month agreed to the deal with Iran, Mrs. Pelosi said she was confident the opponents’ campaign to try to defeat the deal in Congress will fail.

She also questioned opponents’ motives.

“You wonder why. Have they even read it? It looks political to me,” she said.

She was quick to say she wasn’t questioning the sizable number of Democrats in Congress who appear to be leaning against the deal, saying she still respects them, saying her criticism was aimed only at unnamed outside groups.

Republicans have said they can’t read the entire deal because Mr. Obama hasn’t submitted all of it to them yet. They said full submission was a condition of the terms the president himself agreed to in signing the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act earlier this year, yet certain side agreements between the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran haven’t been provided to Congress.

More to the point:
“We have to be blown up to know what’s in it.”

She really does have to be an idiot or suffering the onset of dementia to come off with something as stupid as this.

Hey Nancy, have you?

You have to pass it first and then read it

‘Have they even read it?’

She has no idea of the magnitude of the stupidity that question broadcasts.
