Ocasio-Cortez Promotes Pro-Iran Propaganda From Russian State Media On Twitter
Somehow.
Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) promoted pro-Iran propaganda from Russian state media on Monday which claimed that the Islamic Republic of Iran does not target civilians, which comes just weeks after the Iranian government murdered 1,500 of its own citizens.
Ocasio-Cortez ālikedā a tweet from Rania Khalek, a far-left journalist who works for In the Now, who wrote: āA friend flying into the US says he hasnāt seen so much security since 9/11. The US is terrified of how Iran will retaliate. Iran wonāt attack civilians, thatās what al Qaeda does. But it shows this assassination did the opposite of making Americans safer and our leaders know it.ā
When a Twitter user ālikesā a tweet, the tweet becomes temporarily available to that userās followers for a period of time, meaning that Ocasio-Cortezās millions of followers were likely exposed to the anti-American propaganda she promoted.
Khalekās claims that Iran āwonāt attack civiliansā is laughably false as numerous reports from various news organizations and from the United States government state that Iran killed up to 1,500 of its own citizens during the protests that rocked the country late last year.
The Free Beacon reported that In the Now is āa company funded by the Russian government that was kicked off Facebook for its pro-Russia propaganda.ā
Khalek āpreviously served as an editor for anti-Israel site The Electronic Intifada but resigned after speaking at a pro-Bashar al-Assad conference in Syria,ā the Free Beacon added. āThe extent of Khalekās pro-Iran advocacy was on full display in a recent YouTube livestream in which the activist claimed that āIran is a country that mostly keeps to itself.ā She also said āitās a really brave country thatās been essential to keeping the Middle East stable throughout the last several decades.'ā
