On War & Peace: OpEd: Supported Iran nuclear deal as quid-pro-quo

Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV) said people know they'll just get more of the same with Cortez Masto."She came out in support of the Iran nuclear deal, which certainly does nothing to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. She did so in a quid pro quo, after Harry Reid and the president conducted a fundraiser for her here in Nevada."
