This tweet by Amb. Richard Grenell caught my attention.
Doing some research on @QasimRashid, I have concluded that Amb. Grenell is absolutely right.
And America should know that Rashid is an #Iran apologist.
Let me explain.

Rashid has been very vocal of U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to kill Qasem Soleimani, the world’s number one terrorist, on January 3.

Of course, Rashid, while being a U.S. citizen & running for Congress, won’t ever mention the fact that Soleimani’s forces killed at least 600 U.S. soldiers, alongside murdering, maiming, raping & displacing millions of civilians across the region.

Since at least August 2017 Rashid has been accusing President Trump of seeking war with Iran. This is another Iran talking point.
Its July 2020 and there are no signs of the U.S. gearing up for a war with Iran.

Rashid is a staunch advocate of Barack Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
The same deal through which Obama allowed Iran access to $150 bn in credit & $1.7 bn in cash.
And how did Iran spend that money? Terrorism, of course.

Even John Kerry admitted that they knew Iran would spend the 2015 nuclear deal money on terrorism. But Obama still went forward with it.
And Rashid continues to criticize President Trump for exiting that deal.

Rashid is quite fond of @hodakatebi, a known #Iran apologist who has spoken for Tehran’s lobby group @NIACouncil.
BTW, Katebi was also furious over the killing of Qasem Soleimani & she called to burn the American flag. Sound familiar?
Katebi also wants to disband the police.

Listen to Katebi’s remarks about America.
She disrespects whoever may not like her comments by saying they haven’t done their reading & she herself has.
To be fair, here’s the link to the entire interview.

For those interested, this thread sheds more light on Hoda Katebi.
Again, Rashid’s fondness of such an individual with these controversial viewpoints is quite telling about Rashid himself.

Rashid is also quite fond of @YasmineTaeb.
Who is Yasmine Taeb?
@NIACouncil, the known & disgraced lobby firm of Iran's regime in DC, supported & endorsed
Taeb, a "former NIAC Congressional fellow," in her run for the Virginia Senate.
Taeb is also quite fond of @JZarif.

Rashid is also fond of @IlhanMN after her “some people did something” remarks about 9/11.
But don’t be surprised at all. Omar has the support of Iran’s lobby group NIAC.
And Omar herself is very eager to tweet Iran’s talking points about sanctions.

Connect the dots:
-Omar has ties with @NegarMortazavi
-Mortazavi has ties with Iran's lobby group NIAC, launched by Tehran's chief apologist @JZarif
-Mortazavi also has very close ties with Zarif
-Is Mortazavi feeding Omar with Zarif's talking points?
I believe so.

Don’t be surprised about Omar pushing Iran’s talking points.
She has even brought NIAC members into her office.
@mahyarsorour is the Senior Legislative Assistant to Omar.
Sorour was a candidate for NIAC Action's leadership board back in July 2019.

And just like Rashid, Omar was angry over President Trump’s decision to eliminate the world’s leading terrorist, Qassem Soleimani, and carefully described him as a “foreign official.”

Remember how Katebi called for burning the U.S. flag after the killing of Tehran’s terrorist-in-chief Qasem Soleimani?

For the record, here are more of Omar’s tweets pushing Iran’s talking points (just like Rashid)
-Trump wants war with Iran (which Trump actually prevented)
-Trump should reinstate (Obama’s) Iran nuclear deal
-Sanctions are “economic warfare” (getting it from Zarif himself)

Back to Rashid.
Listen to Tucker Carlson debunk Rashid’s claims of being pro free speech.
Watch to the end. It’s worth it & quite telling about Rashid’s viewpoints.

And in this video Rashid’s dodging of questions about ISIS is also quite interesting.

Amb. Grenell was right about Qasim Rashid’s dangerous viewpoints.
This thread intended to show Rashid’s ties to dangerous people, including Iran’s network of apologist/lobbyist.
America & Virginia’s 1st District, please take this warning seriously.

That was quick! Quite typical of Iran apologists.
When they can't counter-argue, they flee.
And he thinks he's fit for Congress?
Virginia's 1st District deserves better.
