Not in the libtard narrative!
Trump administration voices support for anti-government protestors in Iran as demonstrations enter their second day
Democratic congressional leaders and presidential candidates who were unsparing in their criticism of President Trump for the escalation with Iran over the past two weeks largely have gone silent now that the protests on the streets of Tehran and beyond have turned their rage toward the regime - and not the Trump White House.
Even as videos emerged online Monday that purportedly show Iranian police and security forces firing live ammunition to disperse protesters, so far among the 2020 Democratic candidates only former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., have spoken out in support of the people.
The protesters have railed against the government following the shoot-down of a passenger plane that the Iranian government initially denied involvement in - Tehran later admitted they downed the jet in a misfire during attacks against U.S. bases in Iraq, following Trump's takedown of top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
Trump has issued statements supporting the demonstrations, but his political opponents have been almost entirely silent - after earlier criticizing the Soleimani strike and in some cases even faulting Trump for the fatal plane crash.
Journalist Yashar Ali, who is of Iranian descent and has friends and family there, called out the left for being silent when it comes to the protests, in a viral Twitter thread about the situation.
"I've gone through some of the most active and prominent liberal Twitter accounts and none of them mentioned the Iran protests today," Ali tweeted Sunday. "These same people were actively tweeting about wanting to avoid war and attacking Trump for his decision."

spankit a good GOP puppet and has bought in to extreme manipulation of his moral and thought bereft positions.

He doesn't cite his sources as he would be ridiculed for never daring to leave his deflated and saggy bubble

Even the $hit above contains bizarre elementary ed contradictions

Example:

First: "former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., have spoken out in support of the people."

then: "Trump has issued statements supporting the demonstrations, but his political opponents have been almost entirely silent"

WTF?

You would have to be a complete idiot (spankit) to give the above writing any credibility at all.

"but his political opponents have been almost entirely silent" Even the average libtard can understand the statement "almost entirely", but greensnot and crappy are not even among those considered average; more like the Billy Beer of libtards!

NPR has been covering it since it all began. They have reporters in Tehran, at the bombing site, at the protests and throughout the rest of the Middle East.

If you idiots were less informed, you would be dead.

It's literally ALL OVER the "mainstream" media or whatever low-brow term Crankit has been instructed to use.

Palm Bay Barry looking dumb again.. but at least he's supporting the Iranian wing of Antifa.

spankit spending each dreary day in the fold"s" of the lifeless and bloated corpse that is the GOP. His ability to discern garbage from journalism is blurred. Perhaps an insulin shot or reading a book might help him.

As far as the websites go, I think CNN had something minor about it on the front page. I had to search for it on MSNBC.com and most of the other left-leaning "news" outlets are far more concerned with what is going on with the royal family in the UK. The one thing they all seem to have in common is that most of them are trying to say this is all about Iran accidentally shooting down the airline. They aren't saying anything about Iran instituting nationwide internet blackouts, any kind of reaction to the Soleimani drone attack, or Iranian reaction to Trump sanctions.

Tell us, Sniper, when Iran was on your mind before the Soleimani mission. When did you care for these Muslim protesters before?

Talk about news ignoring massive public demonstrations - try to find anything in MSM about France where thousands in the streets just shut down Macron's plan for raising the retirement age.

Take a look at BBC and NPR.

Does Fox have reporters in Iraq and Iran?

Lol crankit playing grammar police. Dude, you forget how much gibberish you post on here that is not even decipherable. So incoherent, you cannot possibly correct it. Nice try.
