Vice President JD Vance went on FOX News and absolutely torched former President Barack Obama after Obama had the audacity to criticize President Trump's new Iran deal — the same Obama whose catastrophic JCPOA gave the world's worst terrorist regime a glide path to nuclear weapons.
Imagine funding terrorism to the tune of billions of dollars, watching your deal crumble in real time, and then having the nerve to criticize the guy who actually got results. That takes a special kind of shamelessness, even for Barry.
Vance appeared on the Sean Hannity Show and laid out the contrast in terms so simple even an Ivy League professor could understand them. The Vice President didn't mince words, going straight for the jugular on the most obvious tell of which deal actually works — what the people in the region think about it.
"I'd ask the president, the former president, I'd say Obama, why in the world if it's the same thing, why is it that the Gulf Arabs hated your deal and they love our deal?" Vance said.
Boom.
The Gulf Arab nations — you know, the countries that actually have to live next door to a nuclear-ambitious Iran — despised Obama's JCPOA. They saw it for exactly what it was: a naive vanity project that enriched the worst terrorist regime on the planet while getting absolutely nothing meaningful in return. Obama's deal would almost guarantee Iran eventually obtains nuclear weapons. Great legacy, champ.
But Trump's deal? The same Gulf nations love it. And Vance made sure everyone understood why that matters.
"They are the ones in the region, they know what it means to enrich the worst terrorist regime in the world," the Vice President said on Hannity's show.
Here's what drives the left crazy about this whole situation. They can't spin their way out of a side-by-side comparison. Obama's JCPOA was so bad that the people with the most skin in the game — the Gulf Arab states who share a neighborhood with Iran — actively opposed it. Trump's deal includes actual denuclearization provisions, and those same nations are on board.
That's not opinion. That's a scoreboard.
Vance drove the final nail in with a message directed straight at the former president. "I think President Obama, he should acknowledge that the people who are closest to this, they love the Trump deal. They hate the Obama deal," he said.
We all remember the Obama era of foreign policy. Red lines that meant nothing. Pallets of cash flown to Tehran in the dead of night. A deal that even our closest allies in the Middle East saw as a betrayal. And now the architect of that disaster wants to lecture President Trump on how to handle Iran?
Sit down, Barry. The adults got this one handled.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Vance's takedown was part of the broader ongoing debate over Trump's Iran deal — a deal that has actual teeth, actual partners, and actual results. Obama's legacy on Iran is a smoking crater, and no amount of carefully worded criticism from Martha's Vineyard is going to change that.
The Gulf Arabs have spoken. They chose Trump's deal. Case closed.
