Kamala Harris Trashed U.S. in Farsi Tweet for Iranian AudienceJoel B. Pollak 15 Aug 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris trashed the United States in a post on Twitter (now X) in 2022 that was released by the U.S. Department of State in Farsi for the benefit of an Iranian audience.
https://twitter.com/CarolineGlick/status/1824099439041999302Harris’s statement recalls President Barack Obama’s so-called “apology tour,” when he delivered speeches in the Muslim world that attempted to appeal to public opinion by acknowledging America’s supposed flaws.
In Ankara, Turkey, for example, Obama said:
Another issue that confronts all democracies as they move to the future is how we deal with the past. The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history. Facing the Washington Monument that I spoke of is a memorial of Abraham Lincoln, the man who freed those who were enslaved even after Washington led our Revolution. Our country still struggles with the legacies of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.
Human endeavor is by its nature imperfect. History is often tragic, but unresolved, it can be a heavy weight. Each country must work through its past.
The attempt to appeal to America’s critics and enemies by acknowledging that criticism may have impressed left-wing elites at home, but it did not have any appreciable effect on public opinion abroad, except to encourage contempt.
