Am I really the only one to notice the staggering hypocrisy in how the Trump administration is responding to protests against the government in Iran vs here in the U.S.?
The Trump administration is considering military options in response to unrest in Iran, U.S. officials said late Saturday, as protests there continued despite threats from the country’s supreme leader that he would expand a government crackdown on some of the most widespread demonstrations in the Islamic Republic’s history.
Meanwhile, here at home:
In an interview with Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem said the administration will send more officers to Minneapolis on Sunday and Monday.
“There’ll be hundreds more, in order to allow our ICE and our Border Patrol individuals that are working in Minneapolis to do so safely,” Noem said.
The Department of Homeland Security said last week that the crackdown in Minnesota would involve 2,000 federal agents and officers, calling it the agency’s largest immigration enforcement operation ever. Protests have continued throughout the weekend. Demonstrators gathered across the country to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the killing of Renée Good, a 37-year-old mother of three.
Trump officials remained adamant Sunday that Good was responsible for her own death...
Do I really need to explain the problem here? Apparently so, because I have not heard a single Democrat pointing out this blatant double standard. It's all well and good that the U.S. is considering coming to the aid of Iranian protestors trying to stand up to the regime, but who is going to come rescue American protestors from the Trump regime? Don't they deserve some consideration too? Whatever happened to "America first"?
(And at the risk of stating the painfully obvious, no, Renée Good was not "responsible for her own death." Watch the video.)
