Rep. Ted Lieu has already firmly established himself as a member of The Resistance, but it looked for a fraction of a tweet Saturday that he had found some common ground with the president, agreeing with Donald Trump to support the protests against the Iranian regime.
Does Ted Lieu support the protesters in Iran? It’s difficult to say because his real intention was to take a pot shot at the Trump administration, as always.
I agree with @realDonaldTrump that people have the right to express themselves against a government that attacks the free press; corruptly uses private jets at the people's expense; and squanders the nation's wealth by increasing troops in the Middle East. The world is watching! https://t.co/E0kollMalL

Unreal.
So Ted Lieu, in a leaden attempt at irony, is belittling the Iran protests by using them as a prop to attack Trump. This is insane. https://t.co/fo9XAHS3V6

Imagine being petty enough to use pro-democracy protests in which civilians have reportedly been shot to make a cheap political point https://t.co/IZ56pJPmLB

There is no nobler cause than that of freedom. A successful revolution in Iran would benefit the entire world. Perhaps now is a time to lay aside partisanship. https://t.co/k6d9uZDlpS

This is a US congressman comparing our POTUS to Islamic dictators. The Democrat party is a dumpster fire https://t.co/tCCV5lM1ji

Those who liken the US to Iran are unworthy of the office they were elected to and carry out a great disservice to all who live under true tyranny. https://t.co/JiJGA9ia3p

Democrat lawmaker attacks POTUS for promoting US national security & foreign policy interests. Ted liked it better when Obama was getting cozy with the Mullahs. https://t.co/gOUYtkUHIU

This is as close as this idiot has gotten to supporting the uprising against the terrorist regime in Iran. https://t.co/uOeAIi4Sdy

The Iranians are struggling against REAL oppression, and this is the best Ted Lieu can come up with? What a waste. I get it, you don't like Trump. How about we support the Iranians right now? #FreeIran https://t.co/vq7VDr22Bp

Even when there is room for actual agreement, jackhammers like this are too small for the moment. https://t.co/E8Y8x0XuDr

Our politicians in Washington are so hellbent on grandstanding on twitter we can't even get a consensus that the Iranian people and its women deserve to live free https://t.co/RSFdHhO47G

Way to turn a positive comment from @realDonaldTrump into a negative one – how can bipartisanship happen w/ hacks like this that can’t even agree on one item as American as free speech – the @DNC sucks https://t.co/K7bijfwFhj

The world's most garbage take.
Actual Congressman compares the Iranian regime's brutal murder of its own citizens to some Americans disliking Donald Trump.
Just goes to show you that the Left has reached a point of derangement that is warped beyond belief. https://t.co/KOw7leb4VP

This is possibly more ignorant and parochial than anything Trump has ever tweeted. https://t.co/tlIxY25Pjb

The only thing that concerns us is how he got where he is today and how long he’s staying.
