Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin compared the U.S. to Iran in several social media posts Sunday, claiming both countries are guilty of "killing protesters."
Martin made his first comparison on X, expressing support for both protesters in the U.S. and Iran for rising up against "systems that wield violence without accountability."
"From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms," Martin wrote.
He continued, "Here at home, tens of thousands are marching after the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good — demanding justice, transparency, and an end to an unchecked federal force that takes lives and tears families apart. Solidarity across borders means opposing authoritarian power everywhere and defending the right to live free from fear and state violence. #StandWithIran #JusticeForReneeGood #EndAuthoritarianism."
Martin was referring to ongoing protests against the Iranian government that have led to dozens of deaths and thousands of detentions by security forces attempting to clamp down on demonstrations.
Minneapolis also made headlines last week after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, who allegedly attempted to drive her vehicle toward officers.
After Martin received backlash for likening the Trump administration to the Iranian government, he doubled down in another post hours later.
"If comparing the U.S. to Iran makes you angry, ask why. Killing protesters. Crushing dissent. Kidnapping and disappearing legal citizens. Ignoring courts. Threatening critics. Terrorizing communities. That’s authoritarian behavior—anywhere. If you’re rushing to defend it, maybe the problem isn’t the comparison. Trump keeps pushing it, Americans aren't buying it, and Minneapolis won’t be silent," Martin wrote.

Politicians have always been slimy, but most of the time they weren’t stupid. The stupid is strong with this one, and all his colleagues on the left side of government.
Maybe Beaming Simpleton Kenny could opine as to why his gangster party thought so highly of “Lieutenant” Byrd putting a bullet into Ashli Babbitt for the crime of stepping through a broken window.
Ashley babbit say her name you disgusting POS
Please let them keep talking. They are so broken, they cant even comprend the damage they do to themselves when they rant like this. They now defend any criminals anywhere based on the fact the surge in national law enforcement was Trumps creation. This “protester” did not need to be there at all. Her freedom was not at risk. She was paid instigator interfering with legal federal LE operations. She has zero rights to do so. She tried to run over and agent is now gone. Play stupid games…..
Way wrong side of the issue. Protestors are being used as pawns in a dangerous and divisive scheme.
It does not make me angry that Martin makes the comparison. It shows me that the election process is broken and he is so full of shiite that his eyes float.
Indeed that covers it all about the democrats.
They award medals for such actions it’s why the trigger man received one.
The democrats Love them some Compare
It’s called “Whataboutism”.
Ed, domestic enemy, Martin. (WORDS)
Comparing Criminal Illegals to Innocent Citizens , well that’s the democrats for you
Massive hyperbole!
Arresting and deporting illegal aliens is what is happening and this idiot on display has no clue of reality judging by his words.
“””It does not make me angry that Martin makes the comparison.”””
He is from Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan. Did you expect anything different from him?
Red States are not...
The current Democrats are profoundly morally depraved and are increasingly acting like anti-American domestic terrorists.
Killing protestors?
Name two.
Agreed.
The leftists never care about self-defense one way or the other, only political expediency, so the officer who murdered Ashli for trespassing was treated as a hero by the left, but the officer who shot a leftist driving towards him with her SUV while she was committing crimes is simply a murderer to them. They don’t care at all that the “hero’s” safety was in no way threatened by the person he shot, while the “murderer” had legitimate reason to think he was about to be killed.
Sad but true.
