Maxine Waters questions GOP patriotism in seeking to stop Boeing sales to Iran

The Washington Examiner reports:

A House panel working on legislation to stop Boeing sales of aircraft to Iran became tense Wednesday as a top Democrat questioned Republicans' patriotism.

Rep. Maxine Waters, the Californian who is the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, said members of the panel backing the bills are being unpatriotic in undermining President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.

"This attempt with all of these bills to undermine that — I think it's unpatriotic, yes I do," Waters said.

The committee was marking up three pieces of legislation, supported by both Republicans and Democrats, to deny the required authorizations for sales of aircraft to Iran and blocking financing assistance for sales of aircraft to the Islamic Republic from the Export-Import Bank.

No word yet on whether Maxine Waters' relatives on on Iran's payroll.
