Ex-Obama State Dept. Spox: We Didn’t Support Iran Protesters in 2009 Because They Asked Us Not To

More from the woman who claimed “job opportunities” were the key to defeating ISIS . . .

Marie Harf, a former Obama State Department spokeswoman, appeared on today’s Fox News Sunday. Substitute host Dana Perino didn’t hesitate to put Harf on the hot seat, comparing Obama’s lack of support for Iranian protesters in 2009 with President Trump and VP Pence’s support for the protesters in Iran today.

Exemplifying Obama’s losing, “leading from behind,” approach to foreign policy, Harf said:

“The reason we didn’t [support the protesters] was that it was our judgment—and we were hearing from Iranians protesting on the streets that your support will not help us.”

She also claims that the women raped and burned
alive by ISIS that she backed and weaponized
with Kerry/Obama/Clinton/McCain really, really
wanted it, especially the firey deaths in cages
after their children were raped and killed
in front of them.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Note: contrary to Harf’s claim that in ‘09 the Iranian protesters asked Obama not to support them, this IBD editorial says that the protesters sent Obama an “urgent” request for support, which Obama ignored.

While it would be easy to believe that genuine human people would not want Obama on their side this story is a lie. Obama did not support the protesters because he supported the American-hating hardliners. Obama always support Islamic hardliners.

I was shocked to learn that Fox News hired her as a contributor. I find her to be a featherweight with nothing of substance to contribute.

Is Harf aware that the 9/11 terrorists came from middle- and upper-class families?
