Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei Threatens Trump on Twitter, Twitter Yawns and Allows It
PJ Media ^ | 01/03/2021 | Robert Spencer

On Saturday, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tweeted: “Martyr Soleimani is an eternal reality that will live on forever. His assassins – including Trump & the like – will go down in history’s garbage bin, but of course after receiving retribution in this world for the crime they committed .” This is a clear threat, but Twitter has not banned or suspended Khamenei’s account. After all, he was threatening Donald Trump, and as far as Twitter is concerned, what could be wrong with that?

Khamenei was referring, of course, to Qasem Soleimani, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force commander who was killed in a Trump-ordered American airstrike on Jan. 3, 2020. Soleimani was killed near Baghdad International Airport shortly after an Iranian-backed militia attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, as a clear warning to Iran not to continue to target Americans and American installations.

The Islamic Republic, however, has consistently portrayed the killing of Soleimani as an unprovoked, gratuitous strike by the Great Satan. Yet the Supreme Leader’s belligerence is longstanding. Before Soleimani was killed, he was just as hostile to the United States and American leaders as he is now. Khamenei has also threatened Trump before. Iran’s state-controlled Ahlul Bayt News Agency reported on Jan. 23, 2021, that the Supreme Leader’s official website “posted a photo-montage of former US President Donald Trump playing golf under the shadow of a drone, vowing to avenge the assassination of Iran’s Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.”

Khamenei also thundered in December 2020, “Revenge is certain.” He added, “The assassin of Soleimani and the one who ordered the murder should be punished. ”

Khamenei has vowed “retribution in this world” against Trump and others. He is in the enviable position of hating the same people the Leftist self-appointed guardians of acceptable opinion hate, so he is able to spread his hatred on social media without fear of suffering the fate of his nemesis, Trump.

My guess is, If Iran’s Supreme Leader had issued a similar threat against any current or former head of state of any country, he would have been banned from Twitter immediately. But when Twitter is apparently fine even with open threats such as those Khamenei has issued against Trump.

Because Get Trump bestows "automatic cool" among the prog retards.

No actual thought process required.

Ayatollah Khamenei?

Who are these people at Twitter who are doing this? Don’t they have names?Don’t they have identities? Why should they enjoy anonymity while they go about attacking and executing people with a white digital hood over their heads? Expose these nazis to the light of day.

There is a difference between ‘A’ and ‘O’

KhAmeini vs KhOmeini.

You know that you can say anything you want about President Trump as long as it is bad. And Twitter encourages it. Twitter not only encourages it, they aid and abet it. The same with making threats to to President Trump.

Twitter is nothing more than a mouth piece for Communists and Fellow Travelers to spew their lies and venom. Why those who consider themselves don't get off and stay off, I don't know. Perhaps they have. I hear that some have.
