1/ [Short Thread]
In the coming weeks, as the #BidenHarris ticket heads towards probable victory, #IranLobby members are going to try to ingratiate themseles to Biden/Harris& #39;s advisors to get jobs & influence in the new administration. I hope those advisors won& #39;t be fooled.

2/ When it has suited them, and when it has seemed like Biden might take a tough line on global dictatorships, these IRI apologists haven& #39;t hesitated to smear Biden or his team.
3/ For example, here was a letter smearing Biden& #39;s likely foreign policy team -- @AmbassadorRice, @ABlinken, and Jake Sullivan -- calling them warmongers and a "horror show".

4/ Taeb is an Iranian-American lawyer and a former @NIACouncil fellow who won NIAC& #39;s endorsement when she ran for Virginia State Senate. She is part and parcel of the IRI apologist crew in the US.
5/ Aside: for those unfamiliar with this terrain, read this to learn what NIAC is about: https://twitter.com/kshahrooz/status/1127920516931772416">https://twitter.com/kshahrooz...
6/ @tparsi, former head of NIAC and now involved with the Koch-funded Quincy Institute, has done much the same. Smearing Biden anytime it seemed like the candidate might take a tough line on Iran.
7/ Here is one example. God forbid that Biden stand with @JackRosenNYC, the descendents of Holocaust victims, in taking a tough line on a Holocust-denying regime. Apparently, that& #39;s "neocon militarism".
8/ Why do Parsi, NIAC and the rest of their group do this? Because they& #39;ve failed to normalize the brutality of the Iranian and Syrian regimes (admittedly, that& #39;s a really tough job.) So instead they focus on smearing Tehran& #39;s critics. https://twitter.com/im_PULSE/status/1293246659841986561?s=20">https://twitter.com/im_PULSE/...
