These senators worked to undermine Obama's 2015 Iran deal. Now they are cheering Trump.
They despised the verifiable nuclear deal with Iran, but are optimistic about Trump's vague agreement with North Korea.

What a difference three years makes. In 2015, then-President Barack Obama, as part of a multi-nation agreement, got Iran to agree to suspend its nuclear program and to accept international inspections.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) pilloried the accord as “the best deal acceptable to Iran.” He and 46 other outraged Republican senators responded by sending a letter to Iran’s government aimed at undermining the deal and worked assiduously to scrap it. One warned it might lead to nuclear war; others opined that, “Instead of weakening this radical regime, a regime with American blood on its hand, this agreement would make Iran stronger. ”
Hours after Donald Trump agreed to end military exercises on the Korean Peninsula in exchange for a vague promise that North Korea will stop trying to make nuclear weapons, those same senators took the opposite view. Rather than criticize Trump for getting an unverifiable agreement with a brutal dictator, many of them came forward with statements of optimism and praise for the president.
