Phil Robertson Speaks Out In Opposition to Iran Nuclear Deal
Reality television star Phil Robertson has spoken out in opposition to the recent U.S.-Iran nuclear deal proposed by the Obama administration.
Robertson made his recent comments in an event in Washington, D.C. entitled "Stop the Iran Deal," arguing that he loves Israel because it is the birthplace of the Bible, and that he doesn't not trust Iran to have nuclear weapons.
"I don't do deals with individuals whoever they are, when they're hollering at the top of their lungs when I walk out the place where we're doing the deal, and they're saying: 'Death to you! We're going to kill you,'" Robertson told CNS News while attending the rally, adding "That's the last bunch you want to have nuclear weapons."
"Israel, the most faithful ally that we have," he continued. "You know why I love Israel? They wrote the Bible. That's why I love them."
"When God chose to become flesh 2,015 years ago—your calendar dates that event, God becoming flesh—you know what kind of flesh he became? Jewish flesh," he said. "Theirs are the patriarchs—Abraham, Issac, Jacob. They wrote the Bible, for crying out loud. Therefore, you never, ever want to put them in unnecessary danger, which this deal will do."
Other conservatives have also voiced their opposition to the Iran nuclear deal, arguing that Iran is not to be trusted for its word that it will stop the production of nuclear weapons in exchange for a lifting of economic sanctions.
