Iranian Dictator Roasted For Praising College Protesters

Iran's theocratic dictator Sayyid Ali Khamenei is throwing his support behind college students protesting America.

Generally speaking, who you align yourself with and who claims to be an ally is a pretty good indication of where you stand on issues.

Good people attract other good people. Bad people attract bad people. It's not hard to understand. As a proud American, the insanely oppressive leader of Iran isn't someone I want endorsing my ideas or beliefs.

The good news for me is that it's never going to happen because I'm a freedom-loving patriot. The same can't be said for the anti-America/anti-Israel protests that swept across the country because Khamenei loved them.

Iranian dictator throws support behind college protesters.

The Iranian leader tweeted Wednesday night that the protesters on college campuses are "on the right side of history."

No, they're most certainly not, but let's not let common sense and facts get in the way of some viral tweets.

As you'd expect, the reactions on social media weren't overly nice to Khamenei. He was torched in hilarious fashion. Check out some of the responses below, and hit me with your reactions at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

The sad thing is I'm sure there are plenty of idiot protesters who think getting an endorsement from the Iranian strongman is great news. They simply don't understand history and don't care about facts.

Iran is the world's largest state-sponsor of terror, and recently launched a massive attack on Israel. Not only does Iran fund terrorism and attack our allies, but the country has plenty of American blood on its hands.

At least 196 Americans died from Iranian IEDs during the GWOT and hundreds more were wounded. The Islamic regime is one of America's biggest enemies, and we shouldn't ever apologize for stating that fact.

What does it say about the college protesters that the leader of an incredible oppressive regime is fully supportive? Time to look in the mirror.

Fortunately, there are plenty of patriots on campuses who held the line against the anti-American mobs. Ole Miss, Alabama and LSU refused to tolerate that garbage and UNC students protected a fallen flag.

It's a time for choosing. You're either with the Iranian dictator or you're with the patriots. I know what side I'm on. It's not a tough call at all. I'm with the people who love America and hate our enemies. Let me know what side you're on at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
