The New York Daily News on Tuesday used its front page to condemn Republican senators for signing an open letter to Iran warning that a potential nuclear deal could be null once President Barack Obama is out of office.

The tabloid’s front page prominently featured Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rand Paul (R-KY). It also branded the 47 senators who signed the letter as “traitors” who tried to “sabotage” the President’s nuclear negotiations.

  3. Anyone know, who didn’t sign?

  4. Apparently, in our current political system, there is no such thing as peak overreach.

  5. The letter brings to mind a flaming email that should never have been sent. Unfortunately, this is a common sentiment in stump speeches to the faithful and on talk radio, but in an open letter to a foreign country during sensitive negotiations?
