As Iran-backed militia were in process of attacking the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes had the temerity to attack the Trump policy on Iran, reminding us of just how disgusting the Obama administration was and how lucky we are they are no longer in power.

Rhodes was one of the chief architects in pitching the Iran Deal to the media and the public. He admitted how he manipulated the media to spin the deal.

From The Hill:

As Rhodes himself told the New York Times magazine, “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”

He called them, “the echo chamber,” and scarcely disguised his contempt for the media and their think tank cronies in his revealing May 2016 interview.

“The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing,” he said.

As Politico reported, the Obama administration was so intent on getting the Iran Deal, that they allegedly even tried to quash a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigation into Hezbollah cocaine smuggling into the United States known as Project Cassandra.

And Rhodes dares talk about sanctions for trying to hold the rogue regime to account? He’s spinning in favor of Iran and against sanctions on them today when we are under attack? And should we even mention how he was the “talking points” guy, helping to spin the Benghazi story?

Needless to say, people were having none of it.
