The Blaze:

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said during a speech on the Senate floor Tuesday that he is “astounded” the legislative chamber would sign off on the Iranian nuclear deal without first reading the agreement.

 

The remarks came before Senate Republicans planned to hold a second vote on the controversial agreement which has become President Barack Obama’s top foreign policy priority.

 

“First, why don’t we actually have the opportunity to read the agreement?” Lankford asked. “I would like to be able to see it. No one in this chamber has seen all aspects of this agreement. No one in the House has seen all aspects of the agreement. It’s not that we won’t read it. We can’t read it because the Administration even they have said they have not read the entire agreement.”

 

“Now, I would tell you, we don’t allow secret side deals between a bank and a car dealer when you’re buying a used car,” the Oklahoma senator continued. “We certainly don’t allow secret side deals between the U.N. and Iran that no one can see.”

 

He added, “And I’m astounded that this body is okay with signing off an agreement that absolutely no one has read the entire agreement.”
