Cruz Fights Alone to Stop Senate from Funding Planned Parenthood and Iran Nuclear Deal

Last night Ted Cruz couldn't get his Republican Senate colleagues to back his proposed amendment to stop funding Planned Parenthood for one year and to prevent the Obama administration from using funds to implement the Iran nuclear deal until Congress can examine the additional agreements or "side deals" between the terrorist state and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). "You know, Obama has negotiated a catastrophic nuclear deal with Iran. Republican leadership goes on television all the time and rightly says this is a catastrophic deal. I would suggest that if we actually believed the words that are coming out of their mouths, then we should be willing to use any and all constitutional authorities," Cruz said.
