Washington
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
following
statement
after
Senate
Democrats
blocked
debate
on
the
President’s
nuclear
deal
with
Iran.
“By
not
allowing
a
final
vote
on
the
President’s
terrible
deal
with
Iran,
Senate
Democrats
are
attempting
to
silence
the
voice
of
the
American
people.
The
actions
of
the
vast
majority
of
my
colleagues
on
the
left
today
show
that
they
are
afraid
to
have
a
real
debate
on
this
incredibly
important
issue
–
a
deal
that
puts
our
national
security
at
risk,
endangers
the
state
of
Israel
and
places
the
future
of
the
entire
Middle
East
in
doubt.
Perhaps
one
of
the
few
Democrats
to
speak
against
the
deal
said
it
best,
when
he
said,
‘the
very
real
risk
that
Iran
will
not
moderate
and
will,
instead,
use
the
agreement
to
pursue
its
nefarious
goals
is
too
great.’
Unfortunately,
it
appears
too
many
of
my
colleagues
have
taken
the
President’s
foreign
policy
motto
to
heart,
and
want
to
continue
leading
from
behind.
The
Senate
must
return
next
week
and
vote
on
this
deal
–
the
stakes
are
too
high
for
too
many.”
