Republicans are opening a new front in their
campaign to undercut the Commander In Chief. Speaker of the House John
Boehner will be going to Israel to meet with Netanyahu around the same
time that the White House expects an agreement to be reached on Iran’s
nuclear program.
Boehner spokesman Kevin Smith confirmed the visit, which will take place during the Easter recess and marks Boehner’s first trip to the nation since becoming Speaker. His last visit was in 2008.“The Speaker will visit Israel during the next district work period. He looks forward to visiting the country, discussing our shared priorities for peace and security in the region, and further strengthening the bond between the United States and Israel,” Smith said.According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the speaker’s trip will begin March 31, and he’ll be leading a congressional delegation of Republican lawmakers.
Boehner’s visit will coincide with the when the
White House anticipates that a deal will be reached with Iran on their
nuclear program. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters,
“At the end of this month we would anticipate a political agreement.” A
political agreement is not the same as a formal agreement. It is
expected that the hammering out of key technical details will not be
completed until June.
Given the fact that an agreement is expected to be
reached by the end of the month, it’s clear why Boehner is going to meet
Netanyahu. It is widely anticipated that Speaker of the House will
stand on foreign soil and criticize the President Of The United States.
Boehner’s actions will reflect those of a political party that has been
unable to hide their contempt for the President Of The United States.
Rep.
Boehner will be going to Israel in order to sow divide and discord. The
Boehner trip will be the next move from Republicans who have sworn to
oppose a peaceful and diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear ambitions at
all costs. Beyond disrespecting the president, congressional
Republicans are still frantically trying to assert their power over
Obama. Speaker Boehner will be openly siding with a sworn enemy of
diplomatic peace while undermining the foreign policy of the United
States of America.
