The U.S. State Department's website lists four countries as state sponsors of terrorism, and one of them is Iran.
Yesterday the president of that country died (along with several others) in a helicopter crash. Raisi is known as "The Butcher of Tehran":
For all clueless Westerners sending condolences in connection with y-day’s death of Islamic regime President Ebrahim Raisi

He conducted thousands of “5 minute trials” in the 1980s & sentenced 5000 innocent Iranians to death
He’s known as “The Butcher of Tehran”

The @statedept send its condolences on the death of Ebrahim Raisi.

Raisi was overseeing the Ministry of Intelligence’s efforts to assassinate senior former U.S. diplomats, including Secretary Blinken’s predecessor, @mikepompeo, and my former boss Brian Hook. pic.twitter.com/O43cEOyVCs
The United Nations and NATO spokesperson have already sent condolences, and people were waiting for the Biden State Department's take.
Biden is going to put out condolences for the Iranian mass murderers, isn’t he?

And guess what happened next!
This statement from the State Department makes absolutely no sense.

Expressing condolences for the man (known as the Butcher of Tehran) who murdered and violently harassed the Iranian people, that State claims they support. What? pic.twitter.com/7XUMQVcC3d
Unreal, but not unpredictable:
Holy crap. They did it. They actually did it. https://t.co/Ojz1XsgAR2 pic.twitter.com/fHh1FvXXKo

A statement recognizing the Iranian citizens' struggle for human rights while offering condolences for one of their oppressors couldn't have summed up the Biden State Department more perfectly.
Would be like offering condolences for Osama Bin Laden. FFS. https://t.co/RyA2rN6ge7

A mission then VP Biden opposed, by the way.
This is like offering condolences for the death of Hitler. I mean, not quite the same, but on that same level.

The dude who died was a butcher who raped, tortured, and killed pregnant women.
Pure evil.
More Biden weakness has been spotted:
Because the Biden administration doesn't understand the first thing about how you treat enemies in that side of the globe. This isn't western Europe, and it makes the U.S. look weak.

The U.S. has been markedly weaker ever since Biden took office.
What is wrong with this picture - everything. #Raisi is a TERRORIST psychopath sadist murderer - there is no good reason the USA should acknowledge his death other than to applaud it in remembrance of those he has murdered and the lives saved by his demise

Iranians are cheering https://t.co/707ckmGjtZ
It makes more sense when you remember that the Biden WH and State Department is full of people who are in mourning right now.
