Leftist site tries to discredit week-old pic of Iranian woman who removed her mandated hijab
The tweet below, from the leftwing site Buzzfeed, is absolutely classic. And when you get to the bottom, you really owe it to yourself to click the link (assuming Buzzfeed hasn't deleted its twitter account or asked Twitter to delete the entire post) and READ ALL THE COMMENTS!
The Left, and American feminists constantly (and understandably) defend Obama and the Dems, and hate Trump. So for both reasons, the Left is striving mightily to de-legitimize the massive anti-regime demonstrations in Iran. Cuz if those demonstrations scare the shit-head mullahs into running away, it will both boost Trump and tarnish the legacy of your former emperor, who gave away everything to the mullahs to get them to sign a worthless pact with his regime.
During the first demonstration some Iranian snapped a pic of a young woman demonstrator up on some sort of platform. She'd had the effrontery to remove her regime-mandated facebag ("hijab" or some absurd variant) and was waving it on a stick, apparently in protest.
The pic went viral--a show of courage in a country where dissent is banned. The crew of cunning leftists at Buzzfeed wanted to discredit not just the pic, but also Trump for stating his strong support for the will of the Iranian people--in sharp contrast to emperor Obama, who said (literally) "I'll take a wait-and-see approach." The Buzzfeed crew knew one way to do that: To claim the pic was "old."
It was taken barely a week ago. But if you don't know that, and a self-proclaimed "news source" says it's "old," many low-info Americans will be able to wave it away.

As many commenters noted, Why is BuzzfeedNews trying to discredit a long-overdue demonstration? Click here to read all the comments. Very worth your time!People are using an old image of a woman without a headscarf to illustrate the Iran protests https://t.co/iue8r0thhv pic.twitter.com/MVXKpk1Qt9— BuzzFeed News (@BuzzFeedNews) January 3, 2018
