President Obama compared congressional Republicans who reject his nuclear deal to Iranian hardliners who chant “death to America” during a speech selling the agreement with Tehran at American University Wednesday.
POTUS:”It’s those hardliners chanting Death to America who have been most opposed to the deal…making common cause w/the Republican Caucus”
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) August 5, 2015
The connection quickly drew backlash on Twitter from those skeptical of the president’s accord.
I beg of you, please tell me that’s a typo He did not just say that Republicans agree with “Death to America” https://t.co/FoMvo63K4r — Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) August 5, 2015

Remember when Obama said he’d work with Republicans? Well he just compared them to terrorists shouting “death to America” so that worked out

To sum up: It’s a perfect deal, no criticism has any merit, opponents are Jews and warmongers. — Michael Goldfarb (@thegoldfarb) August 5, 2015

Is this the worst speech of the Obama presidency? Hyperbolic, mendacious, illogical, small-minded, highly demagogic, Unpresidential. — Stephen Hayes (@stephenfhayes) August 5, 2015
If a GOP president gave a speech like the one POTUS gave today, we’d be having a Much Needed Conversation™ about patriotism and dissent.

The mark of a great argument is mischaracterizing your opponents objections and emotionally manipulating your allies.

Obama made a shitty deal with Iranian hardliners, then accuses opponents of the deal of siding with hardliners. Unbelievable chutzpah. — AG (@AG_Conservative) August 5, 2015
