Rep. Ken Buck on refreezing Iranian funds: ‘I think it's a great move'

The U.S. and Qatar have agreed to refreeze the $6 billion used to free the Iranian-American prisoners earlier this year. Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) joins Andrea Mitchell to weigh in on if the strategy to deter Iran will be effective. ““I think it is a great move. And I think it is also very important what the administration is doing, identifying Iran as the actor behind the scene,” Buck said. “Whether they instigated this immediately or whether they were just arming over years, Iran has to be held responsible. Iran is supplying Russia with drones and other equipment that's being used in Ukraine. And I think it's very clear that America needs to tell actors who are supporting evil that they're going to be held accountable.”

Jordon should be disqualified because of his involvement in Jan 6th. And his part played in the abuse of Ohio wrrestlers.

[teacherofteachers]

Call me crazy but I don't care for having either David Duke or Duke-lite for Speaker.

[branevans]

Oh Ken, why can't there be more republicans like you? I still don't agree with his conservative policies, but I'm not fearful of them.

[deepwaterlife]

can they find no one better than andrea mitchell? msnbc's dianne feinstein needs to retire already.

[cynthiamarie]

scalise likens himself to david duke. Those were his words.

[brandon]

never should've been released in the first place

[HeidiSchwendeWSI]

Why doesn't Buck go for the speakership. At least there'd be someone sane with the gavel.

[madpatriot]

Just come out and say we want to keep their money already

[nomenclature]

With Scalise withdrawing, Rep. Buck might get considered as an alternative, at least in the short run to get a budget passed.

[backufloyd]

Who would give a crap for what Ken Buck or Nancy Mace think? Yak yak yak

[MaggieMiller]

What’s going to happen the next time we try to get hostages out of a foreign country? We already backed out of another deal with Iran. This may not be the great move you think it is!

Ken Buck and Lauren Blowhard are a disgrace to Colorado 😩Other than that, Colorado Rocks 😃Jared Polis has proven to be a wonderful governor, and living in a blue state sure is peaceful

[thedearleader]

Biden administration takes the “L”
🤣😂🤣

[bobbyg]

Well considering Iran funds Hamas and all. It would seem appropriate cutting off any money that could be used to fund terrorist operations rather than funding it. But then again, I'm never sure these days.

Marines ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️and the shores of Tripoli, the reality of how these grandiose verbose🏳️‍🌈 political vampires 🩸🩸🩸🧛🏻‍♂️🧛🏼🧛🏻‍♀️ actually operate 🤝
