Just over a week ago, Just Foreign Policy issued a very simple, reasonable demand: that Massachusetts Senator and progressive champion Elizabeth Warren endorse the interim nuclear deal that the Obama Administration and its partners on the UN Security Council have negotiated with Iran.
Some people foolishly claimed that this was not a reasonable demand, either because, they falsely claimed, the deal is not a good deal, or because, they falsely claimed, it was unreasonable to expect Senator Warren to speak out on this issue.
Fortunately, these foolish people have now been uncontrovertibly proven wrong. On December 12, in a hearing of the Senate Banking Committee, Senator Warren endorsed the deal.
What follows is an unofficial transcript, produced by me, of the exchange between Senator Warren and Obama Administration officials in the hearing. You can watch the exchange on C-span here: the exchange begins at 1:20:50 mark.
I expect that Senator Warren's clear stand on the deal will increase pressure on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to take a clear stand on the deal.
