Former liberal Democratic New York Congressman Gar Ackerman has come out four-square against the nuclear deal with Iran,
Ackerman, who was New York City’s 7th District Congressman for 30 years until 2013 and is 72 years old, has joined the advisory board of Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran.
He stated Friday:
While I have long argued for negotiations between the U.S. and Iran as a means to stop their nuclear program, the agreement that emerged from these talks simply does not do the job.
Stakes are too high to allow for so many loopholes. To make a deal with an enemy who then vows to kill you later, means you left something out of the deal.
Although no longer in Congress, his voice is significant because he was a strong backer of President Barack Obama’s policies.
