The Washington Post has once again shown its true colors, publishing a disgraceful obituary that portrays Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as some kind of misunderstood intellectual who was "fond of Persian poetry" – conveniently ignoring his decades of terrorism, oppression, and threats against America and Israel.
Khamenei was killed Saturday when President Trump authorized joint U.S.-Israel strikes against the Iranian regime, finally eliminating one of the world's most dangerous terrorists. But instead of celebrating the death of a brutal dictator, the Post chose to humanize this monster with flowery language about his supposed cultural interests.
This is the same Ali Khamenei who:
• Ordered the execution of thousands of political prisoners
• Funded Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations
• Repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel and America
• Brutally suppressed Iranian protesters seeking freedom
• Developed nuclear weapons to threaten the civilized world
"The Washington Post's disgusting obituary reads like a love letter to a terrorist," said one military veteran on social media. "Where was this sympathy for his victims?"
The Post's shameful coverage perfectly illustrates why Americans have lost all trust in the mainstream media. These are the same outlets that spent years attacking President Trump while coddling America's enemies. They called Trump a "threat to democracy" while literally mourning the death of an actual dictator.
Trump's Decisive Action Eliminates Threat
While the legacy media weeps for dead terrorists, President Trump's bold leadership has made America and the world safer. The successful strike against Khamenei represents exactly the kind of peace-through-strength approach that keeps Americans safe – something the Washington Post apparently can't comprehend.
Patriots across America are asking the obvious question: Why is the Washington Post more sympathetic to Iranian terrorists than to the American people they've threatened for decades? The answer reveals everything you need to know about today's corrupt media establishment.
