U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) issued the following statement after anonymous senior Administration officials made multiple insults, including a profanity-laced insult, against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
"Comments like these go right to our fears about the Administration, which is seen as treating our friends like enemies and our enemies like friends. The timing of these anonymous insults is all the more alarming given the Administration seems intent on cutting a nuclear deal with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that not only fails to eliminate Iran's illicit nuclear infrastructure, but also circumvents Congress."
