Geee Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Townhall: The Obama administration recently threatened to veto legislation that would prevent America from sending future ransom payments to Iran. The threat comes after reports that the White House paid Iran $1.7 billion to ensure the release of four American prisoners. In a Republican leadership press briefing on Wednesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan criticized the administration for succumbing to Iranian pressure. “We want America to lead. We want our enemies to fear us, and we want our allies to trust us. So what does it say when the United States repeatedly bends over backwards to accommodate the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism? Secretary of State John Kerry is a big part of the problem as he continues to "shill' for Iran, Ryan argued. “By bend over backwards, I do not just mean all of these concessions, cash infusions, and side deals. I do not just mean sending the Secretary of State out to shill for Iran like he’s the president of the Tehran chamber of commerce. And I do not just mean paying ransom for hostages.
