Even as prominent Democrats refuse to distance themselves from Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader was in Iran where he blatantly took part in disgraceful, anti-American acts.
Farrakhan was in Tehran literally leading chants of “Death to America! Death to Israel!” as President Donald Trump announced that he was allowing sanctions against the nation to be reinstated, Fox News reported.

The notorious anti-Semite, who referred to Jews as “termites” recently, stood in solidarity with the Islamic Republic on Monday, speaking to law school students at the University of Tehran in a speech condemning the United States.
“Today, I warn the American government that sanctioning Iran is a big mistake,” the 85-year-old said at a meeting with the Secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council, Mohsen Rezaei, before leading the chants.

“I understand how the enemies have plotted against the Iranian people and I would like to stay alongside you to stop their plots,” he told Rezaee, also slamming the US for its alliance with Saudi Arabia which was allegedly being used to “divide all Muslims.”
Former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz slammed the controversial leader last week, as well as Democrats like former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and Rep. Keith Ellison for their connections to Farrakhan. Clinton even sat alongside Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton at Aretha Franklin’s funeral.

Orthodox Jewish Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, known as America’s Rabbi and a close friend of Roseanne Barr, called on American leaders to condemn Farrakhan.
A new low for arch Jew-hater Farrakhan. Who has heard of an American going to a foreign country and chanting “Death to America?” Where is @BillClinton who appeared with him recently, and @BarackObama, photographed with him, and @corybooker to condemn him? https://t.co/A6yhSmfs5T

The Nation of Islam leader’s visit came as Iran celebrated the 39th anniversary of the U.S. embassy takeover in Tehran.

Zealous anti-American Iranians, fueled by the government’s propaganda, marked the anniversary with despicable acts such as trampling images of the U.S. dollar as well as literally shining shoes with the American flag.

Farrakhan openly supports Iran’s claims that the U.S. is conspiring against them and all Muslims. And liberals continue to remain silent while Trump vows not to back down in the face of threats.
