Raul Ruiz regrets nothing

Hey there-

It’s clear Raul Ruiz has no regrets when it comes to supporting Obama’s reckless and irresponsible nuclear deal with Iran.  Today, Ruiz could have voted for the Iran Accountability Act, which would expand and strengthen sanctions on the dangerous country for testing ballistic missiles and supporting terrorism, but sadly he stood alongside his party leaders and voted against it.

This isn’t the first time Ruiz has turned a blind eye towards Iran.  A few months after the Nuclear Deal was signed, Iran taunted the US by launching missiles with the ominous warning “Israel must be wiped out” scrawled across them. Shortly after that, the country test-fired ballistic missiles that could reach Israel.  And just last week, German intelligence discovered Iran was seeking illegal nuclear technology.

Even after these repeated acts of aggression, Ruiz remained silent and stood by Obama and Democratic Party leaders in a desperate attempt to score political points.

NRCC Comment: “Raul Ruiz continues to show he has no regrets over supporting Obama’s dangerous Iran nuclear deal.  When given the chance to strengthen sanctions for repeated acts of aggression and supporting terrorism, Raul Ruiz shamefully put politics ahead of protecting our national security. 36^th District families deserve a member that will protect them, and not just the Democratic Party’s political interests.”   -NRCC Spokesperson Camille Gallo
