On Saturday, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tweeted: "Martyr Soleimani is an eternal reality that will live on forever. His assassins - including Trump & the like - will go down in history's garbage bin, but of course after receiving retribution in this world for the crime they committed." This is a clear threat, but Twitter has not banned or suspended Khamenei's account.
Iran's state-controlled Ahlul Bayt News Agency reported on Jan. 23, 2021, that the Supreme Leader's official website "Posted a photo-montage of former US President Donald Trump playing golf under the shadow of a drone, vowing to avenge the assassination of Iran's Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani."
Trump was a favored Khamenei target even before Soleimani was killed.
In May 2018, the Supreme Leader said in a speech, "A few days ago, Trump wrote a letter to the leaders of some Persian Gulf countries, to which we have access. In the letter, he indicated that he spent $7 trillion on these countries, so they must adhere to his orders. Well, Trump, you have spent all this money to dominate Syria and Iraq, but you couldn't do it; you will go to hell with your failures. This man's corpse will also be worm food while IRI stands strong."
Even when Iran was concluding the nuclear deal with Barack Obama, Khamenei was just as aggressively anti-American as he is now.
Now Khamenei has vowed "Retribution in this world" against Trump and others.
When Twitter is apparently fine even with open threats such as those Khamenei has issued against Trump, its own agenda becomes all too clear: Twitter's own hatred for Trump and his supporters is practically as intense as Khamenei's.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
