As pro-democracy, anti-regime protesters continue to demonstrate in Iran while shining a negative light on the previous administration’s “deal” with that regime, Politico found a way to make Obama sound like the victim in all this:
White House seizes on Iran protests to tarnish Obama and nuclear dealhttps://t.co/kQyNeffLFc pic.twitter.com/CINdOZkHNs

Corrections, Politico:

I fixed your headline: "White House seizes opportunity to support oppressed Iranian people, especially oppressed Iranian women, despite Obama's dangerous, destabilizing nuclear deal with Iran's Terrorist regime." #fixedit #canpoli https://t.co/dH4IOwNtU4

Anything to protect one of Obama’s most ridiculous “legacies.”
Steaming pile right here. Obama’s own choice in 2009 is his legacy. And the justification for making the mullahs cash flush was wrong. https://t.co/o19R3bmOOh

Maybe the problem was the nuclear deal. Not speaking out in support of people literally being shot in the streets. What hot garbage this is https://t.co/PnkEhI6p3g

Politico really took a beating over this one:
Gee. Poor Obama. Don't the Iranian people know they're supposed to protect his legacy? https://t.co/mWREC6NNCC

We use the "seize" construction to mock you. You took it seriously. https://t.co/QCqj6uSGqC

Obama has tarnished himself, he didn't need any help. When we needed his help in 2009 he ignored us.

The “deal” was tarnished the second it was made. Didn’t need any help from Trump’s White House. https://t.co/g5S27CA5SZ

“White House seizes” is the new “Republicans pounce.” https://t.co/AN7CaP7w9N

"Seizes"
"To tarnish"
Never change, hacks. https://t.co/Q1KBpLxQ8Q— Carl Gustav (@CaptYonah) January 5, 2018
Is Politico turning into CNN?
The people of Iran deserve better than this BS.

What an absolutely shameless attempt to avoid criticizing the disaster that is Obama administration’s Iran Deal.
