The Biden administration faced severe criticism for its handling of the death of the 'Butcher of Tehran,' Raisi, described as 'a new low' in their response.

 

House Republicans are strongly criticizing the Biden administration for extending condolences following the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, notorious for his brutal tactics and known as the "Butcher of Tehran." House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., remarked to Fox News Digital, "It is absurd that the Biden administration touted their support for human rights while, in the same breath, offering official condolences for the ‘Butcher of Tehran.’ Clearly, the Democrat Party of today has become the pro-terrorist party." Meanwhile, House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., labeled the State Department's message as "unacceptable, unnecessary, and outrageous."

"Biden’s State Department expressing condolences for the death of a brutal and monstrous enemy of America who tortured and killed his own people and led the charge to fund terrorist proxies around the world that have killed American soldiers is a new low for Joe Biden," Stefanik wrote in a Tuesday morning statement. IRAN'S PRESIDENT, FOREIGN MINISTER, OTHER OFFICIALS CONFIRMED DEAD IN HELICOPTER CRASH Secretary Blinken's ineffective leadership and eagerness to appease the hostile Iranian regime mirror Biden's policy of capitulating to our nation's adversaries. On Monday, Raisi and Iran's foreign minister were reported dead following a helicopter crash in northwest Iran's mountainous region, as stated by the country's state TV. The deceased conservative cleric gained notoriety for his ruthless suppression of dissent, notably in the 1980s when he was implicated in a four-judge panel accused of authorizing the executions of potentially 30,000 political dissidents, according to some accounts. During his presidency, he implemented severe measures to quell mass protests sparked by the killing of a 22-year-old woman accused of violating hijab regulations.
