It was bad enough when NATO offered condolences for the death of Iran’s president who was known as the ‘Butcher of Tehran’.
But then Joe Biden’s State Department did the very same thing today, releasing a statement offering ‘official condolences’.
The @statedept send its condolences on the death of Ebrahim Raisi.
Raisi was overseeing the Ministry of Intelligence’s efforts to assassinate senior former U.S. diplomats, including Secretary Blinken’s predecessor, @mikepompeo, and my former boss Brian Hook. pic.twitter.com/O43cEOyVCs

AP’s State Department reporter Matt Lee grilled Matthew Miller today on why the State Department would even put this out there, especially if Raisi is as bad as they laid out:
Biden’s administration is embarrassing. He probably would have offered condolences for Hitler too.
