Disgraced former FBI attorney Lisa Page triggered backlash on social media again this Friday by offering her opinion about President Donald Trump’s elimination of top Iranian general and terrorist mastermind Qasem Soleimani.

While she praised Soleimani’s removal, tweeting “good riddance,” she then went on to warn of the potential repercussions. She wasn’t alone in that regard. Other liberal Democrats have posited similar concerns about the potential consequences of the drone strike that killed the Iranian general earlier this week.

However, in articulating her concerns, Page portrayed Iran in a disturbingly positive light, describing it as a “smart and strategic” country with a “5,000 year old culture.” She also claimed Iran “isn’t an irrational actor.” The facts might beg to differ.

Good riddance, but also God help us. My mother emigrated from Iran in her 20s, to forge a better life for herself. 1/ — Lisa Page (@NatSecLisa) January 3, 2020

Iran is smart and strategic and all over the world. Iran isn’t an irrational actor, but they have the pride of a 5,000 year old culture. I fear they are going to hit back in a way to remind America that they are a real and independent country. I hope I’m wrong. 2/ — Lisa Page (@NatSecLisa) January 3, 2020

Note how she wrote that Iran is most likely poised to “hit back in a way to remind America that they are a real and independent country.”

To be fair, Page’s mother, Tamara Najarian, is a naturalized American citizen who reportedly immigrated to the United States in the 1970s. Thus, Page appears to feel a familial bond of sorts to the rogue regime and, it would appear, its government.

The problem is that, while the Iranian people themselves appear to be rational — as evidenced by their growing protests against their own corrupt government — the officials in power actually responsible for the nation’s actions abroad are a different matter.

And that’s why the country has over the past few decades been an Islamic theocracy devoid of, for instance, basic human rights:

43 years ago, women in Tehran could wear short sleeves and shorts…outside…in broad daylight with their hair in a ponytail. — Jonathan’s (@MirthlessChukle) January 3, 2020

If your Mom emigrated in her 20’s then she was likely old enough to remember life before the Ayatollahs took over Iran in the late 70’s. Iran has been a terror state since then. Regardless of your politics, this is a win for average, oppressed Iranians and the world. — Skylark (@skylark1984) January 3, 2020

Suffice it to say, Iran isn’t led by rational let alone “smart” people. It’s led by religious maniacs who oppress their own people, fund terrorism abroad and have technically been “striking back,” as Page put it, for decades. And leading those attacks had been Soleimani.

As even one of The Washington Post’s many liberal columnists, David Ignatius, put it this week, “Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Force, deserved his fate.”

“He was a ruthlessly clever commander who threatened the United States and its allies for two decades,” Ignatius noted. “For more than a year, Soleimani and his colleagues had been ignoring U.S. signals to cease proxy attacks against U.S. facilities that could result in American deaths.”

Just last week the Iranian-backed foreign terrorist organization (FTO) Kata’ib Hezbollah committed an attack on a U.S. base that led to the death of an American contractor.

And yet here Page was defending this same rogue regime and suggesting, however surreptitiously, that it was the United States that was asking for trouble.

Patriotic social media users didn’t care for this. Look below at the scathing replies, some of which were written by Iranians themselves:

As an Iranian citizen and one of the millions who oppose the existence of the Islamic dictatorship in Iran, I find this tweet absurd. The Islamist regime is cunning, but not rational in any sense. Never been. Also, the ruling Islamists despise “Iranian” history and nationalism — Sasan Barmak (@BarmakSasan) January 3, 2020

Imagine how messed up you have to be to praise Iran but not praise President Trump. TDS is very real in this one. Might be time to seek some professional help. — Tubby Tom’s Tormentor (@CoachScott113) January 3, 2020

Why are you a thing? Disgraced and corrupt federal employees should go away. Siding with Iran. Why not? There is no limits of what you would do. Iran the great and loving culture. What do they love to chant about us? So peaceful! — SwampCrazyElaine (@Erunner110) January 3, 2020

She should remember the US is smart & strategic & can hit Iran in a way that reminds them we are a real and independent country. Oh wait only enemies are smart and strategic – only we should be worried about what anyone does. Iran has a chance to deescalate. Hope they are smart. — Trigg3r Warn1ng (@kernelofwisdom) January 3, 2020

You are all for a coup in our country but against one to remove the theocratic dictator in Iran? This is a prime example of why we need to drain the deep state swamp. Preferably into Guantanamo Bay… — Ryan Seven (@RyanSeven) January 3, 2020

For one thing, the 5000 year old Persian culture should not be conflated with the brutal and retrograde Islamic regime, which it predates by #millennia and hopefully will outlast. For another, our forces have not set foot or hit any targets in Iran. #WWIII ain’t happening. — Brazen Infidel TN (@brazen_infidel) January 4, 2020

The people of #Iran don’t agree with you Lisa. But it’s just natural for one corrupt government elitist to address the corrupt government elitists running Iran as the “nation.” — ThinkAgainst (@thinkagainst) January 3, 2020

“The people of #Iran don’t agree with you Lisa,” one critic wrote.
