Ben Rhodes, the Obama administration architect of the catastrophic 2015 Iran nuclear deal, sparked fury across social media after rushing to criticize President Trump's military strike against Iranian targets over the weekend.
Rhodes, who served as Obama's deputy national security advisor and was instrumental in crafting the Iran deal that handed billions to the terrorist regime, took to social media to blast Trump's decisive action. But patriots weren't having it – and they let him know exactly where he could shove his opinions.
"Sit this one out," became the rallying cry from conservatives who reminded Rhodes of his disastrous track record of appeasing Iran while they chanted "Death to America" and used Obama's cash payments to fund terrorism across the Middle East.
"This is rich coming from the guy who literally gave Iran billions of dollars and a pathway to nuclear weapons," one viral response read. "Your Iran policy was a complete disaster that made America less safe."
The backlash highlights the stark contrast between Trump's America First approach and the Obama-Biden weakness that emboldened Iran for eight long years. While Rhodes and his globalist allies prefer diplomatic "engagement" with terrorist regimes, President Trump understands the only language Iran respects is strength.
Rhodes was notorious for admitting he created an "echo chamber" of compliant journalists to sell Obama's Iran deal to the American people – a deal that lifted sanctions, unfroze assets, and gave the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism everything they wanted while getting nothing meaningful in return.
Trump's Decisive Leadership vs. Obama's Appeasement
The contrast couldn't be clearer. Under Obama and Biden, Iran grew stronger, bolder, and more dangerous. Under Trump, Iran knows there are consequences for threatening American interests and allies like Israel.
Patriots online didn't mince words: "The adults are back in charge, Ben. Your appeasement tour is over."
Maybe it's time for failed Obama officials to realize their credibility on Iran died the moment they handed billions to the ayatollahs. When it comes to protecting America, these swamp creatures should indeed sit this one out.
