Dems Tied to Obama’s Pro-Iran ‘Echo Chamber’ Spread Terror Regime’s Anti-Trump Talking Points via @freebeacon freebeacon.com/national-secur…
As tensions mount between the United States and Iran, leading Democrats have become embroiled in controversy for widely repeating anti-Trump talking points first issued by Iran's hardline regime.
The effort to push this narrative to the media has gained steam following a war of words between Trump and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who is said to have been in contact with top Democrats in Congress and their allies in the Obama administration, sources said.
Multiple officials involved in the Iran debate expressed shock that leading Democrats continue to boost Iran's anti-Trump threats. They view the network of former officials and their allies as doing all they can to subvert Trump, even if it means siding with the Iranian regime
"Obama's echo chamber and their pro-Iran deal allies in Congress are putting partisan politics over country, and have the chutzpah to literally repeat the Iranian regime's talking points," said one senior GOP congressional official, who would speak only on background
"The truth is that, under Obama's disgraceful and dangerous nuclear deal, Iran got access to over $100 billion in immediate sanctions and a green light to ramp up its support for terrorism and militancy in the Middle East," the source said
"Iran, under Obama's watch, joined forces with Russia to prop up the Assad regime [in Syria], which repeatedly used chemical weapons and barrel bombs on civilians and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of civilians."
"While Team Obama stood idly by as Iran-backed aggression ravaged the Middle East, President Trump is maximizing coercive economic pressure on the Iranian regime and deterring and punishing Iranian-backed aggression against American interests," the official said.
Former Obama aides Rhodes and Kahl, along with other senior figures from the administration, have continued to use their network of sympathetic writers and liberal talking heads amplify the Iranian regime's rhetoric and build greater anti-Trump fervor.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry, for instance, has engaged multiple times in shadow diplomacy, meeting with Zarif on several occasions to plot how Iran can salvage the nuclear deal and retain its access to the billions in cash windfalls.
"It gives new meaning to the phrase ‘Iran echo chamber'—these Democratic operatives and members are truly echoing Iranian propaganda at the possible expense of American lives," a third source who is also involved in the Iran issue told the Free Beacon.
. "What is happening to the Democratic Party when its leaders will side with terrorists over their own country? The new scandal everyone should be talking about is the Iran Collusion Scandal—because that's what's happening."
