Jim Webb Opposes Iran Nuclear Deal

Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb said he was opposed to the Iran nuclear agreement being aggressively pushed by the Obama administration, telling Fox News on Sunday that “I think it’s a bad deal,” according to The Weekly Standard.

However, key Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) announced he was also opposed to the deal last week,leading to a war of words with the White House that Webb said he found disheartening.

“I think we need to put country ahead of party,” Webb said. “It troubles me when I see all this debate about whether this is disloyalty to the president or to the Democratic Party, particularly with what Chuck Schumer has gone through. I think I’ve always done that. I think that’s what leadership really is, particularly in foreign policy.”
