Karen Pierce talk to Iran: 'Everyone is watching'
British Ambassador to the United Nations Karen Pierce echoed President Trump's message Sunday to Iran as leaders in Tehran gear up to deal with protesters responding to their government's revelation it shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet.
"The important thing is that... the Iranian government needs to listen to its people and it needs to de-escalate the current situation... that's in their hands," Pierce said Sunday on "America's News HQ."
Hours earlier, Trump issued warnings of his own, tweeting, "To the leaders of Iran - DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS. Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you, and the World is watching. More importantly, the USA is watching."
To the leaders of Iran - DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS. Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you, and the World is watching. More importantly, the USA is watching. Turn your internet back on and let reporters roam free! Stop the killing of your great Iranian people!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2020
Iran is being really difficult on U.S. journalists because they really wanted it to be trouble for Trump. AND now that it’s very clear the killing of Soleimani has actually inspired protests against the regime, they’re getting even nuttier. Like Maggie Haberman for example:
“Let reporters roam free” says the president, who routinely refers to the US press as “enemy of the people,” to Iranian leaders. https://t.co/zTtSdiOyDj— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) January 12, 2020
Yeah you can see what she’s trying to do here. Yes, Trump has been very critical of the media. But can you really compare that to the murderous Iranian regime?! Apparently Maggie can.
And she’s getting crushed on twitter over it:I think it's possible that Maggie Haberman has become the most obtuse person covering the White House as a supposedly objective reporter for a major new outlet. This, plus her wild impeachment takes, plus that time she suggested 'Edelweiss' was a Nazi anthem... https://t.co/qaJyUXXv8X— Ellie Bufkin (@ellie_bufkin) January 12, 2020
How many reporters has Trump imprisoned or killed, Maggie? (NOTE: Mean tweets don't count) https://t.co/FKCIliNfec— It's still 2016 apparently (@jtLOL) January 12, 2020
Because you falsely report about what's going on in Iran to undermine the Iranian people and to appease Mullahs. NYT is the fake news.— Iranian American (@IranLionness) January 12, 2020
Reporters in Iran would have been killed if they publish anything against the government. Those reporters in Iran are not spoiled brats. https://t.co/UzuAzXFXfU
Tell me when President Trump murdered reporters. Question. Does Iran pay you to push its propaganda or is it a hobby? Tell me when you have ever been prevented from reporting anything you want, even when it is incorrect? https://t.co/WZvvSYLSJE— Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) January 12, 2020
Notice how you were free to tweet this without fearing for your life https://t.co/3Jpo8P0C1m— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) January 12, 2020
She took exception to people bashing her and tried to play it off:The situations in the U.S. and Iran are a bit different, no? https://t.co/fQnkI2kXMs— Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) January 12, 2020
Actually those were facts. He says X, he says Y. Just facts. https://t.co/ijuHcpsn0n— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) January 12, 2020
Yeah, no one is buying it, Magpies.
