Over the weekend, President Donald Trump released a congratulatory statement as he announced a deal had been reached with the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, with days remaining before a signing ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland, pundits parsing through facts and propaganda led Fox News\u2019 Dana Perino to question, \u201cThis is the most transparent administration in history?\u201d<\/p>\n

Prompted by co-host Greg Gutfeld, with Democrats claiming Trump\u2019s deal was no different or worse than President Barack Obama\u2019s Iran nuclear deal, the last White House press secretary of President George W. Bush\u2019s administration contended she could make the arguments of the opposition \u201cbetter for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perino began, \u201cOkay, so you killed all those 40 leaders, but now the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] is in charge. So, that\u2019s who we\u2019re dealing with, and that\u2019s who we\u2019re supposed to stand next to on Friday and sign an agreement that nobody has seen or read?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the most transparent administration in history? Like, I can make all of those points,\u201d she added as Gutfeld reacted,\u00a0\u201cYou have to stop doing that, Dana.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, Jessica Tarlov chimed in from across the table,\u00a0\u201cI think she sounds great!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLike we said at the very beginning, the victories are usually visible, clear, understandable,\u201d continued Perino. \u201cAnd it\u2019s just premature to say. We haven\u2019t even read the information. If I were the Democrats, I would be saying, \u2018You telegraph everything else. Why won\u2019t you let us read the thing?\u2019 And I think maybe there\u2019s two reasons for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne, things are still being worked out behind the scenes, which would be, I guess, understandable. It\u2019s like they jumped the gun, perhaps, in saying, \u2018There\u2019s a deal! It\u2019s great! Everything\u2019s moving.\u2019 But then an hour later, \u2018No, it\u2019s not, but maybe it is.\u2019 And I tried to keep up with it all day long. I think the best thing we can tell our viewers is to say, we gotta wait and see,\u201d she expressed. \u201cIt looks like there could be progress here, at least in getting this to end, and the possibility of oil to start moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before co-host Jesse Watters could weigh in with details about the memorandum of understanding that he had been briefed on, including a toll-free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the seizure and destruction of enriched uranium, Perino made the case that the Trump administration should focus on achievements in the Middle East, such as the elimination of Qasem Soleimani and the strikes of Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a feeling we\u2019re going to be talking a lot about Iran, but yet, nobody\u2019s read the documents, so it\u2019s unclear what you can really say about it,\u201d she concluded ahead of a news cycle featuring Trump\u2019s attendance of the G7 summit, the opening of Obama\u2019s presidential library in Chicago and (with Vice President J.D. Vance set to attend the in-person signing of the deal) the release of his new book, \u201cCommunion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.\u201d<\/p>\n
