“We won’t attend this event in any capacity”
After the President of Iran (also known as the ‘Butcher of Tehran’) met a mountain, the Biden administration sent its condolences and stood for a moment of silence.
The State Department, whose own personnel were being targeted for murder, declared that “the United States expresses its official condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian, and other members of their delegation”.
When the UN shamefully held a moment of silence to honor the ‘Butcher of Tehran’ who had been responsible for the massacres of thousands of Iranians, Deputy UN Ambassador Robert Wood stood alongside other tyrants in mourning a tyrant with American blood on his hands.
“We pray for the Iranian people who mourn the death of their president,” the Senate chaplain shamefully intoned.
Now, the anonymous official policy is that there will be no more Biden administration tributes to the monster.
The 193-member UN General Assembly traditionally meets to pay tribute to any world leader who was a sitting head of state at the time of their death. The tribute will feature speeches about Raisi.
“We won’t attend this event in any capacity,” a US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.
“The United Nations should be standing with the people of Iran, not memorializing their decades-long oppressor,” said the US official. “Raisi was involved in numerous, horrific human rights abuses, including the extrajudicial killings of thousands of political prisoners in 1988.”
“Some of the worst human rights abuses on record, especially against the women and girls of Iran, took place during his tenure,” the official said.
True, but that begs the question of why the Biden administration went along with this in the first place? And the likeliest answer is not that the administration grew a conscience, that there was enough of a backlash to dissuade the diplomats from participating in any further tributes to the ‘Butcher of Tehran’.
There’s no admission that treating Raisi like a world leader and Iran like a country, instead of a terror state, even while it’s trying to kill Americans was a mistake. After having done the wrong thing, they now pledge to do the right thing, as long as people are paying attention, and then they’ll do the wrong thing again.

All true! If Biden’s people aren’t caught with their hands in the cookie jar, they will keep doing it. A trite trope, but apt.

Wonder who the anon person is? Why not speak on condition of being protected from being found a victim of *suicide*?
And the present selected and gang will never admit to a wrong or apologize for it. Psychopaths never do admit to doing anything wrong; and when wrong is found out, the psychopath blames anyone, and everyone, else.

If Joe Biden had any basic goodness in him ,at ll, he would not have expressed condolences to that death inflector “Butcher of Tehran” ,Rasis ,in the first place or paid any type of tribute to him on any form , no matter how mild that “form of tribute” had been,
Actually ,Biden must have liked Rasis and also he must really admire that that horrible regime of Iran with its dictorhip of Rasis and the other despots before him in that Islamic tyranny.
This may be observes that Rasis was well as the other dictators before him , all had Evin prison ,which is a terrible place for the political prisoner of Rasis. It’s horrible place in which the political prisoners of Rasis a brutally mistreated in many cruel ways and kept , for long periods of time ,in small dark moldy dark cell ,given only food eat denied medical care.
Likewise, Biden minic this by using Evin prison as a model for him to emulate. For the political prisoners from January 6, 2023 of the Biden regime horrible place in which the American political prisoners are brutally horribly mistreated in many cruel ways and kept , for long periods of time ,in small dark moldy dark cell ,given only food eat denied medical care.
Those horrendously wicked men , Biden and Rasis, at least in this way, the prisons , if not in other ways are a type of mirror reflection of each other.

Even though I’ve been watching this sort of behavior for over twenty years, it still boggles my mind that liberals and leftists are so respectful toward religious conservatives.

Karma. That he was stoned to death. By a very big stone…

John Walters says
Just another example of the America haters in the Biden administration.
