He said WHAT about the Ayatollah? Carly Fiorina reminds Obama: ‘Death to Jews’ isn’t a political slogan’

There’s so much wrong with how President Obama just framed what’s happening (and why) in Iran that it’s difficult to know where to start:

Obama on Supreme Leader's vows of genocide against Jews: "Supreme Leader is a politician, and I guess that's how politicians operate"

Obama: Supreme Leader is a politician and that’s what politicians do — even in Iran.

How delusional is Obama? This delusional: "Why does Supreme Leader [cry Death to America, etc.]? I guess because he's just a politician."

Oh my.

Obama was speaking about the Iran deal on a web chat when he attempted to dismiss threats from Iran’s leadership as just rhetoric from a “politician.”

@NoahPollak @benshapiro Funny, he seemed to have a different attitude about Huckabee comparing Iran to Nazis.

Odd that was never Obama's reaction to Netanyahu, an actual politician and not a religio-political 'supreme' leader @NoahPollak

The current President of the United States thinks the Ayatollah of Iran is a politician. Let that stunning ignorance sink in.

Worse, he's saying the vows of genocide are just rhetoric. @RBPundit https://t.co/HQQxiko0Sn

@NoahPollak Um, yeah.. since when is an Ayatollah a politician? Ay a·ya·tol·lah – noun; a Shiite religious leader in Iran.

@NoahPollak Supreme Leader is not a politician, but it is very revealing that this is how Obama (a politicians) thinks politicians operate.

On Dana Loesch’s radio show, Carly Fiorina’s response was spot-on:

“Death to the Jews” isn’t a political slogan,” says @CarlyFiorina on Obama reducing Supreme Leader comments as political rhetoric. #DLRS

Everything is “politics” to some. But even threats of genocide?
