The Left continues to out itself to the American people in the most spectacular ways. Following on the heels of the Democrats inability to stand during the State of the Union — for America, American heroes, grieving parents or the most basic axiom that the American government should put Americans ahead of illegal aliens — their hatred for America is crystal clear with their reaction to the military strikes against the worst sponsor of terrorism in the world, a nation that vociferously wants to destroy the US.
While the vast Iranian diaspora throughout the United States and the western world has been dancing in the streets and celebrating — notably with a strong mix of Iranian and American flags, why that should be notable is contemptible — leftist Democrats and unassimilated Muslims have atrociously sided with murderous dictators, protesting with Palestinian and Hamas flags.
Students for Justice in Palestine celebrated in Chicago, not for freeing Iran of tyrants, but for Iran striking a US military base in Bahrain. A Columbia University student organization, “Apartheid Divest,” tweeted “Death to America” in Persian. Columbia distanced itself from the group.
The far-left People’s Forum declared the United States a “rogue state” and wants an anti-imperialist struggle, which sounds a lot like calling for insurrection.
A leader of the Democratic Socialists of America, Cliff Connolly, declared on social media that, “the duty of every US socialist is to make sure [the Iran war] ends in our government’s defeat. May God protect the people of Iran, and may God damn the Trump regime.” Then Indianapolis City Councilor Jesse Brown tweeted back, “Amen.”
Protestors in New York City marched in protest against the attacks on the Iranian theocracy. These are the same protestors who marched against American military actions against the Venezuelan tyrant. These protests are funded by the NGO People’s Forum, which has received $20 million from Chinese Communist Roy Singham, and who knows how much of taxpayer's money.
The progressive Women’s March, which spread the lie that a misfired Iranian missile that hit a school was the US’s doing, marched in support of the dead Ayatollah, who would beat them all and throw them in prison or execute them. That is how much they hate Trump and America.
A Texas imam declared, “Mamdani was a victory for the Ummah. We didn’t succeed in conquering Vienna by the sword for 200 years, and now it’s 20 percent Muslim. We need to enlarge the Muslim population in America, just like we did in Europe.”
Muslims in Washington, D.C., marched with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Palestinian flags.
There is a lot of debate on the right about whether the action in Iran is an America First action or not. But the continuing confluence of interests between America-hating leftists and Muslims suggests that our enemies think it is America First and despise it.
Meanwhile, actual Iranians en masse are celebrating the attacks and decapitation of the Mullah leadership, and they are often doing it arm-in-arm with Jews. In Georgetown, Americans, Jews, and Iranians marched together. Iranians and Jews are similarly celebrating together in the streets of London.
Iranians have been dancing in the streets of Tehran — Tehran! — celebrating the American attack. And in Los Angeles, the huge Iranian population marched in the streets, crying tears of joy and praising and thanking President Trump.
So to connect it all, Democrats under Joe Biden flooded the border with illegal aliens, including some that even the Biden regime suspected were possible sleeper cells. And they have promised to do it again if in power. And now congressional Democrats both fight against deporting those possible terrorist sleeper cells and refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security, unless all the terrorists can stay here.
The enemies of America are screaming who they are. And they are right here.
