Far-left podcast host Joy Reid argued that the United States is only “marginally better” than Iran, even after the brutal Islamic regime recently slaughtered tens of thousands of protesting citizens.
During the January anti-regime protests, thousands of Iranians were killed by their own government.
Estimates of the number killed vary substantially, hampered by the ongoing internet shutdown.
The Iranian government has acknowledged more than 3,000 dead.
However, the US-based organisation HRANA (Human Rights Activists News Agency), whose figures have been reliable during previous crackdowns, says it has verified more than 6,000 dead and has more than 17,000 more recorded deaths under investigation, giving a possible total of about 22,000.
