It’s Sen. Bob Menendez vs. “Nacho Libre” star Jack Black in the battle to finalize the controversial Iran nuclear deal. Black, Morgan Freeman, and other celebrities we honestly don’t recognize recently shot a video equating a “no” vote on the deal to certain nuclear war. Menendez announced today that he’s opposed to the deal and was branded immediately by the Left as a warmonger.
Menendez notes he has been a reliable supporter of the president and opposed the Iraq war. But says he disagrees on #IranDeal on principle.

Menendez will be called 'warmonger' for opposing Iran deal. Worthy noting, of course, that he opposed war in Iraq.

Notable that Menendez voted against the Iraq war, contra Schumer. WH talking pt against Schumer was that he was a war-mongering hawk.

This is new territory for Menendez, who until now has been praised for his vote opposing the Iraq War.
@TPM we know Bob wants another war of choice . The "Menendez-Schumer War " will get how many needlessly killed?

@SenatorMenendez so you want your name on the unneeded "Menendez War of Choice" that gets Americans killed for nothing?

http://t.co/pN8FzJuSIX declares: “Senator Menendez may be adept at playing a war hawk, but he is a sorry excuse for a Democratic Senator."

Menendez/Schumer & rest of crowd who prefer threat of war to giving diplomacy a chance- please register @ nearest ROTC. #EarliestConvenience

Menendez regrets not doing more to ensure war before he heads off to prison. #regrets

Bob (why isn't he in jail yet?) Menendez, disappointed he can't have his Cuban war, is rejecting the #IranDeal and hoping for war with Iran.

Does this make Menendez an honorary Republican?
Quick, somebody get Obama off the golf course and ask him if Bob Menendez is making common cause with Iranian hardliners.
