Ben Rhodes, the former Obama administration official who orchestrated the failed 2015 Iran nuclear deal, is facing a firestorm of criticism after attacking President Trump's latest military strike against Iran on social media.
Rhodes, who served as Obama's deputy national security advisor and was the architect behind the controversial Iran deal that sent billions to the terrorist regime, took to social media to criticize Trump's decisive action. The backlash was swift and brutal.
"This guy needs to sit this one out," wrote one conservative commentator, echoing the sentiment of thousands of Americans who remember how Rhodes' Iran deal emboldened the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.
"The same man who gave Iran billions of dollars and a pathway to nuclear weapons now wants to lecture Trump on foreign policy? The audacity is breathtaking."
Rhodes was instrumental in crafting Obama's disastrous Iran nuclear agreement, which unfroze billions in Iranian assets and removed crippling sanctions in exchange for empty promises from the terror-sponsoring regime. The deal was widely criticized by Republicans and security experts as naive and dangerous.
President Trump, of course, withdrew from the flawed agreement during his first term, reimposing sanctions and taking a tough stance against Iranian aggression. His latest military action continues that pattern of strength and decisive leadership.
The online backlash against Rhodes highlights a broader frustration among patriots who are tired of failed Obama-era officials inserting themselves into current foreign policy debates. These are the same people who gave us the Iran deal disaster, the ISIS rise, and the Benghazi tragedy.
"Maybe the architect of America's worst foreign policy blunder in decades should stay quiet while the adults handle Iran," one social media user fired back at Rhodes.
It's clear that Americans remember who weakened our position with Iran and who strengthened it. The contrast between Obama's appeasement and Trump's strength couldn't be more obvious.
Why do failed Obama officials think anyone wants to hear their foreign policy advice after the disasters they created?
