Fmr Clinton Amb. Ginsberg: Kerry Sounding Like Used Car Salesman on Iran Deal

Amb. Marc Ginsberg, who worked during the Carter and Clinton administrations, most recently as US Ambassador to Morocco, stated, “Secretary Kerry’s beginning to sound like a used car salesman, who’s not revealing when’s beneath the chassis of the car” in his attempts to get support for the Iran deal on Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Cycle.”

Ginsberg said, “Well, it’s surprising to me that, at this point in time, what is leaking out here is this so-called side and secret agreements, that seem to be poisoning the atmosphere, and Secretary Kerry’s beginning to sound like a used car salesman, who’s not revealing when’s beneath the chassis of the car, whether it’s rusty or not. Now, the issue over verification, and the role that the IAEA may play here directly with Iran, seems to be the latest flare-up of what essentially is a lack of distrust of the Congress and the administration. And Krystal, you and I know that the administration can ill afford, at this time, to have surprises at a time when there’s such skepticism among the American people. And I’m trying to keep an open mind, but I’ve warned before that secret annexes can torpedo this deal.”
