Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is probably best known as an anti-Semitic little troll who used to be president of Iran.
But there’s a lot more to him than that. He’s also a sports fan. An American race relations expert.
And, apparently, a great admirer of Angelina Jolie:
#AngelinaJolie I agree with your statements regarding institutional racism. Segregation,war, poverty, insecurity being the result of world powers seeking domination&hegemony.Mankind is in need of respect, cooperation, truthfulness, and kindness. Together we can fix the situation.

Ahmadinejad flirting with Angelina Jolie over Twitter and a shared distaste for structural racism is a 2020 subplot I didn't see coming https://t.co/ZE2AfOIBbE

We may not have seen it coming, but now that it’s here, it makes sense. It’s super on-brand for these times.

We’re looking forward to Angelina Jolie’s response.

Think he’s got a chance? He is a charmer, after all.

He’ll never forgive himself if he doesn’t try.
