Despite the bipartisan opposition to the Iran nuclear deal, on Tuesday, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell and Wall Street Journal political editor Jeanne Cummings accused critics of the plan of being “partisan.” Mitchell began by touting a video of former Vice President Dick Cheney being shouted down by a left-wing protester: “Dick Cheney today speaking about Iran with a very tough attack on the President, but interrupted by a protester.”
After the clip, Cummings declared: “It's become a very partisan issue and that's allowed the President to appeal to votes from Democrats as a legacy that they need to be with him because this will be part of his legacy, and it’ll be an important cornerstone for the party's foreign policy going forward.”
