Democratic congressional leaders and presidential candidates who were unsparing in their criticism of President Trump for the escalation with Iran over the past two weeks largely have gone silent now that the protests on the streets of Tehran and beyond have turned their rage toward the regime — and not the Trump White House.
Even as videos emerged online Monday that purportedly show Iranian police and security forces firing live ammunition to disperse protestors, so far among the 2020 Democratic candidates only former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., have spoken out in support of the people.
Journalist Yashar Ali, who is of Iranian descent and has friends and family there, called out the left for being silent when it comes to the protests, in a viral Twitter thread about the situation.
“I've gone through some of the most active and prominent liberal Twitter accounts and none of them mentioned the Iran protests today,” Ali tweeted Sunday. “These same people were actively tweeting about wanting to avoid war and attacking Trump for his decision.”

Maddow and Lemon are OK though.
The dems are delusional. They have created an image of Trump for themselves, and they started believing it. They are incapable of seeing reality as it really is.
Democrats have no love for the truth. Without the truth they are blind, not only to their own actions but everyone else’s. All they can do is point imaginary blame for imaginary crimes to themselves, because they’re not as successful as they would like. It must be someone else’s fault.
The truth always comes out and makes them look foolish.
The dems are trying to protect the cash cow flowing from the mullahs to themselves.
The mullahs will be carted out stripped and dead. Whoever takes over in Iran is going to out a lot of Democrats that took bribes.
Exactly
They oppose the President whose rallying calls are "Make America Great!" and "In God We Trust!"
It requires true courage to oppose the evil that has seized control of Iran.
It also requires courage to oppose the evil that has seized control of the Democrat Party, the news media, academia, and much of the electorate in the USA--though not as much courage as required in Iran, it's true.
It's dangerous in America to wear a MAGA hat or teeshirt.
Imagine that!
Dangerous--in the United States--to wear a hat that says "Make America Great Again!"
Evil is powerful, insidious, and ubiquitous. It has seized control of half of the USA! Half the US electorate supports the Democrat Party, which has proven time and again throughout its history that it is the Party of Hate, Violence, and Evil.
Pray for the enlightenment of those who support--or even ignore--the evil that is destroying America.
Pray for Iran!
Pray for America!
China taught autocrats everywhere a useful lesson.
Containment and Inertia.
It’s no longer necessary to shoot everyone. They will run out of energy and enthusiasm eventually and then you can round them up one at a time.
In a just world, dems would be punished at the ballot box in November.
...Democrats would see no need to even field a candidate against this president.
Did you ever consider that maybe some of the democrats got a piece of the $150 billion Obama sent to Iran's leaders? Maybe they continue to get paid in exchange for their support/protection.
Isn’t this actually what they’re doing?
Their outrage over the beloved leader backfired bigly.
most active and prominent liberal Twitter accounts and none of them mentioned the Iran protests
Similar happened when the communists were killing millions in Cambodia and Vietnam. The media never blamed themselves or the democrats.
#12 and then you can round them up one at a time.
With the help of google, twitter, facebook etc.
Democrats NEVER deal with facts it exposes them.
