Duncan says Biden “misinformed”

Vice President Joe Biden spoke out against Republican senators whose actions, he said, undermine President Obama’s negotiations with Iran for a nuclear weapons deal. The Associated Press quoted Biden as saying, “I cannot recall another instance in which senators wrote directly to advise another country — much less a longtime foreign adversary —- that the President does not have the constitutional authority to reach a meaningful understanding with them.” Biden referred to GOP senators, but he touched on what’s seen as new low between the Democratic administration and the congressional GOP. So, it’s a subject 96.3/WGOG NEWS brought up with Third District Republican Congressman Jeff Duncan before he spoke to the Seneca Rotary Club. Duncan says there is precedent for the senators’ communication, saying a similar thing occurred in the 1980s involving Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy and U-S issues with Nicaragua. Duncan says Biden is “misinformed.”
