7:15Now PlayingRepublicans have called President Obama pretty much every name in the book. We can now add secret Iranian sleeper agent to the list. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) thinks President Barack Obama either doesn’t know what he’s doing, or he knows “exactly what he is doing and is playing for some other team.”
The comment, which suggests the president is working for Iran or other interests, is conveniently phrased in the sort of nebulous open question that’s meant to raise the topic of Obama potentially working for another country or terrorist organization while distancing Zeldin from actually saying that.
“When deals like this are cut,” Zeldin said in a press release Wednesday, “one has to truly wonder whether the President has no idea what he is doing, or if he knows exactly what he is doing and is playing for some other team.”
Zeldin is referencing the $400 million the United States paid Iran in January. The Wall Street Journal and Republicans in Congress pushed the story on Wednesday as a major revelation, but the administration countered that it had disclosed the $400 million payment in January and said it was part of a repayment over a failed arms deal from 1979.”*
