And now Putnam is repaying President Obama for the faith he placed in him, by working to defeat the signature foreign-policy achievement — and one of the top overall priorities — of Obama’s presidency.
Putnam was hired by Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran, a front group created by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee for the purpose of undermining the Iran nuclear agreement in Congress. The Post’s Steven Mufson reported that the group is expected to spend as much as $40 million, and Politico reports that the entity has already spent more than $11 million. Putnam’s spot, a classic attack ad, features ominous music, dark and scary shots of ayatollahs and the warning: “Congress should reject a bad deal.”
