Thankfully, the Biden regime is just a memory at this point, even though the cognitively challenged former president was at the helm just a short 14 months ago. He purposefully let in tens of millions of illegal aliens, prioritized “woke” over trying to make the lives of the American people better, weaponized our system of justice, and altogether was arguably the worst president in modern times.
Now his secretary of state, the feckless Antony Blinken, is admitting that the regime played a key part in prioritizing politics over keeping America safe:
Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged that the Biden administration’s political calculus, including the 2022 midterm elections, complicated its push for a tougher nuclear agreement with Iran, lamenting that “sometimes politics gets in the way.”
Blinken admitted President Joe Biden gave into the pull of midterm politics.
“You have midterm elections: It shouldn’t be, but it is too often a factor,” Blinken told The New York Times’ David Sanger at a Harvard forum Tuesday.
President Donald Trump was quick to call out him and the Biden regime — and former President Barack Obama, who delivered billions in pallets of cash to the mullahs — for their total failure to secure our nation:
🚨 JUST NOW — PRESIDENT TRUMP: “I heard that today, [former Secretary of State Antony] Blinken made a statement that he should have done [Iran]. Thanks a lot, Blinken. I appreciate it!” 😂

“Blinken is Biden’s guy, I guess. Who the hell knows who he is? He’s his guy. But he came out with a statement that they should have done it.”
“They made a mistake. They should have done it, and other presidents should have done it. Obama should have done it.”
Blinken had more. I’m not sure if he was trying to defend his record here, but he only comes across as weak and useless in his comments. As the saying goes, all we needed was a new president, because the last one was utterly ineffective:
“I wish we had gotten there,” Blinken said. “We worked very hard on getting that longer and stronger agreement. And I think at various points, we were really leaning into it.
“The Iranians were leaning back at other points. They were leaning in, and we had our own constraints. You know, I’ll acknowledge, too, that sometimes politics gets in the way.”
When pressed on whether that meant Biden did not want to move forward before the elections, Blinken said the administration was trying to find the “right time” to complete an agreement. But he added that, even accounting for the political considerations, Iran “wasn’t conceding enough to make that deal worthwhile.”
In other words, he seemed to be saying, “We utterly sucked, but we were trying really hard, so cut us some slack.”
Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden all kept saying that Iran could never have a nuclear weapon, but they did nothing substantive about it. Donald Trump is the first commander-in-chief to put power behind his words and ensure that we mean what we say.
They can try to play clean-up, cover-your-butt revisionist history all they want, but the reality is they coddled the mullahs for decades.
That era is officially over.
Editor’s Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
