Now we begin to see the real Tucker.
He’s now just going back to his former self.
People are going to have to accept it. The media is responsible for this error because the media . . . is the media.
Iran is 99.x% Shiite. The Supreme Leader is the leader of a religion. Repeat that a few times. The Leadership is not in any way divorced from the population. That’s like expecting the global Catholic population to rise up and remove the Pope. It’s Not How It Works.
He’s 86. He may step down. If he does, his replacement will be the #2 guy of the Shiite faction of Islam. The Shiite religious hierarchy doesn’t have a ministry of the Interior, nor a foreign ministry, nor an energy ministry, nor an agriculture ministry.
The vast majority of the government is elected via their Parliament and the 2 stage vote for president. Candidates must pass a religious test for qualifications, but this is not much different from the EU/courts disqualifying Romanian candidates. Their are multiple candidates in their elections, actually more than our two, and you can make a strong case for our 2020 election being more fraudulent than any of theirs.
