Former Dem political darling Calla Walsh attended attended the funeral for slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday, declaring that he was the “greatest anti-imperialist leader” in a propaganda video while covering up in a hijab and traditional garb.
Walsh, 22, who has been previously arrested for antisemitic vandalism in the US, spoke with Iran’s PressTV to talk about her attendance at Khamenei’s funeral over the weekend, where she hailed him as a heroic figure standing up to America and Israel.
“He was a leader to all people of the world who struggle against imperialism, arrogance, against Zionism, against genocide,” she said.
“To me, he was the greatest anti-imperialist leader to have lived during my lifetime.”
It’s the latest extremist turn for Walsh, the daughter of a Boston University English professor and a Harvard writing teacher. She attended prestigious prep schools and was praised in Democratic circles for her activism beginning when she was just 14.
She was previously a volunteer for Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s 2020 presidential campaign and also work on Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s campaign.
Walsh on Saturday claimed there was much love in Iran for Khamenei despite his government’s brutal crackdown earlier this year that left between 7,000 to 30,000 protesters dead, according to human rights groups.
She was briefly a leader in the Democratic Socialists of America after quitting over after making dubious claims that it was too cozy with pro-Israel interests.
Since the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attacks, she has been one of the biggest American mouthpieces for Iran’s Islamist regime.
The regime ally, who lives in Lebanon, claimed more Iranians than ever were now standing with the regime following the war with the US, slamming the conflict as a total loss for America.

"Walsh, who lives in Lebanon, condemned the war in Iran and said it resulted in America’s humiliation."
"Walsh was one of the protesters arrested in 2023 for vandalizing the office of an Israeli company based in New Hampshire."
I like “Dead and rotting Muslim anti-imperialist leader” better.
Next time Israel bombs Hezbollah I hope they take out that crazy broad
Holey, holey, holey,
Peforated leader.
Early in the morning
Our JDAMs came for thee.
Holey, holey, holey,

What was one body

Luckiest. There's a difference. Just ask Big Mo.
As long as she is PROPERLY dressed and will be a slave to the males.
She and others like her take American hard fought freedoms for granted.
She should try going around in Iran as a woman without a hijab, wearing shorts and a tank top, driving her car to a music festival with her LGBTQ friends in her car.
His life was like a hockey stick curve.
Citizen vigilante should pay her a visit. A long conversation would go a long way.
“Ex”?
Part of that...”big tent”?
She is truly an AWFL.
Info on Chris Walsh, Calla’s father. I suspect she got some of her radicalization from him.

also — there is a statement claiming
“Calla Mairead Walsh of the Young Communist League USA, United States was a “supporter” of Friends of Socialist China, June 25, 2023.”
No surprise there.
That'll straighten her out.
Part of why the online dating match thing didn't work out so great for her.
Don’t allow this crazy left-wing bitch back into America.
GASP! Her hair’s uncovered! I’ll bet she didn’t have the nerve to expose it while in Iran!
Islam sure looks like it fits the definition of Imperialism.
Here's a quote of hers from 2025 ““Glory to all the martyrs! Glory to the Axis of Resistance! … Death to America! Death to Israel.”.
This is a relevant article from 2025.
