Morgan Carroll Coddles Iran

May 13, 2015

“Ultra-liberal” Morgan Carroll is at it again, this time going out of her way to soften language condemning Iran for sponsoring terrorism. From The Colorado Statesman:Iran

As originally proposed, Senate Joint Memorial 15-002 called Iran a “theocratic dictatorship” dedicated to a “permanent war against Western democratic institutions and values.” It also included a reminder that Iran has been named a state sponsor of terrorism.

Senate Minority Leader Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, argued for blunting the legislation’s language, calling the initial draft a “high-stakes, provocative claim” that waded into Middle-Eastern politics in a way that could undermine national security.

Remember, this is the same Iran whose supreme leader joined an angry mob in chanting “death to America” just weeks ago and is angling to obtain a nuclear weapon.

With Iran’s well-documented hostility towards America and her allies, why does Morgan Carroll go out of her way to soften language condemning Iran’s role in sponsoring terrorism?

NRCC Comment: “Ultra-liberal Morgan Carroll went out of her way to soften language condemning Iran for being a state-sponsor of terrorism, despite Iran’s continued aggression and pursuit of a nuclear weapon. Carroll won’t be taken seriously as a candidate for federal office if she continues to trip over herself on national security issues that will be a key factor in 2016.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
