Dems Silent on Iranian Protests as Demonstraters Blame Regime Not Trump for Plane Cr

[Earl]

"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.

IRANIAN SECURITY FORCES PURPORTEDLY FIRE LIVE AMMUNITION TO DISPERSE PROTESTERS DESPITE TRUMP'S WARNING

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.”

Ali continued, claiming that Trump’s critics have been using the situation in Iran to attack the president."

I have never known a Democrat to be silent about anything.

In fact, you can't shut us up!

And there goes the typical sensationalist safety blanket of unverified claims. Telling their drones what we think or want to do. The funny thing is how far from the truth they always are. We aren't silent about this, the mainstream media is reporting about that, etc. You people just don't pay attention and find delight in your biased complacency.

"earl," Iran is an autocratic theocracy, Iranians can protest all they like, but the likelihood of a regime change favorable to the US is next to nil, if events actually did threaten the Gov't. they'd employ the mosques to quell expectations.

Did you actually think the people in Iran read Trump's tweets?

Trump tweet to the Iranians is for Fox consumption, it worked, here you posted it as if it was a real development
