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.”

But you would help the Nazi’s in the Ukraine ? The Muslim brotherhood in Egypt ? The Syrian rebel terrorist forces ? The Libyan Al Qeada troops ? You mean none of those millions of refugees streaming into Europe while leaving your war torn insurrections bothered to call you and say your help is not helping ? If only they would have called. This woman is so stupid she actually believes what she is told to say.

I wonder if she has BOTOX done just to make her brain put out the same inane/insane crap Pelosi always spouts....”They said they were trying to rise up against a hugely oppressive regime that would kill them without blinking and told us, ‘nah, don’t bother helping, this is a suicide mission to make a point’”
