David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, told an ABC News panel that the 46 senators who joined Sen. Tom Cottons (R-AR) letter undermine President Barack Obamas negotiations with Iran had made a horrendous mistake.
If you read the text of the letter, it is the most condescending, infantile text assuming that the leaders of Iran whatever you may think of them, and theres a lot on the record to think terribly of them that somehow, that they have no idea what the American system is all about, Remnick explained. Its an absurd comical exercise.
Susteren agreed: I think that letter was horrific.

It end runs the president, which I think is terrible, she said. I think they could have achieved the same goal without sending a letter becoming pen pals with the leadership of Iran. Greta V S
