Pro-Iran protests have popped up outside the White House, and New York City, with conveniently pre-printed “Hands Off Iran” signs.

This writer is old enough to remember when leftists were wearing “Hands off Iran” pins during the George W. Bush administration.
According to the Washington Post, these include groups like Code Pink and the Palestinian Youth Movement, so it’s the usual suspects causing problems again.

“Iran isn’t fascist,” the protester says. “Studying political ideologies, you understand what fascism is, and it’s not Iran. Because Iran…Ayatollah Khamenei’s rule was achieved through a revolution; it was sort of a coup d’état. Fascism rises electorally and democratically, and then turns on its constituents. Ayatollah’s regime is not fascist in nature.”
