Watch: Stewart Uses Reagan to Show Republican Hypocrisy on Iran Peace Deal
In this eye-opening clip, Jon Stewart summons the ghost of Pres. Reagan to take apart the Republican Party’s claims that Pres. Obama’s nuclear peace deal with Iran is a “tyrannical power grab”, exposing their hypocrisy with historical context and humor.
As Stewart states, unbeknownst to many Republicans, Pres. Reagan actually signed over 1,500 executive orders, including a nuclear peace treaty with China and, wait for it… a hostage treaty with IRAN, without having them first approved by Congress.
As Stewart says sarcastically in this clip, “I know Reagan would NEVER deal with such a loathsome regime!”
Well republicans are flooding the airwaves with their fake outrage, maybe it would be better if they actually learned a little history and understood the historical context of the Executive Branch’s power and authority to conduct foreign policy.
Kudos to Jon Stewart and his team for setting the record straight.
