Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[January 10, 2025]

We stand with the people of Iran.

These bold protests, led by incredibly courageous people, represent an opportunity for Iranians to finally be free of oppression and terror.
America and the world will be safer and more stable when the Islamic Republic is dismantled.

Some of the responses:

How about standing with US citizens against our government that is demanding we show papers, follow orders or you will be killed.
ICE tactics, policies and procedures need a review.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” – George Orwell 1984.

Now how about us? The right to assemble without fear of being injured or death. And the files and uphold our constitution instead of stepping on it.

Yet, you don’t stand with the protesters here, the ones who want to stop our freedoms being revoked and our constitution from being shredded. We too want to be free of oppression and terror.
The hypocrisy is strong.

You stand with Iran but not Minnesota? Right.

If only you would support the American citizens who protest the tyranny and oppression of the current administration.

“America and the world will be safer and more stable when the *trump administration* is dismantled.” Fixed it.

While YOUR leader OPPRESSES CITIZENS who speak in OPPOSITION TO YOUR FASCIST CULT

Mark Alford only stands for Mark Alford!

Do you stand with the people of the USA who are being terrorized?

You meant to say when this current administration is dismantled! Worst administration in US history and it is not even close!!!!!

The US would be free of terror and oppression if ICE was dismantled.

Stand with the brave inti fascist protesters in the USA Mark!

Meanwhile in America…

We stand with the people of Minnesota.

How about standing with the American people 🤔

You’ll stand for anyone except US citizens

We need to free ourselves from this fascist regime in America

Have you already predetermined which performative Bible verse you willl post tomorrow?

So you’ve decided to stand with USA citizens or just Iranians?

Propaganda is well known and we see what you’re doing here.

So what you’re saying is that it’s not about the people of Iran, it’s about America..

During meetings in 2020, President Donald Trump suggested to officials the idea of shooting protesters in the legs or feet, according to accounts from former Defense Secretary Mark Esper and other sources. No

You support the Iranian protest, but not American ones? Why was it OK for Renée Good to be murdered?

It’s sort of weird seeing you condemn Iran’s government for killing unarmed protesters while applauding the US government for doing the same.
Surreal…

So, if Iranian Federal Agents start shooting Iranian protesters, you won’t be upset, right?

I hope the Iranian people are able to restore the democracy they lost due to US interference in 1953 and to build it back stronger.

“America first.” No more wars! You already forgot that we just had a peaceful protester shot in the face.

But America first, right???
Really a bitch statement, mark.

STFU Trump sycophant

You don’t stand with anyone, Mark.

You scream blatant Islamophobia then say this unironically.

Oh you stand with the people of Iran but not with the Muslims who live in this country.
Oh you stand with the people of Iran but not with the people here.
How pathetic and hypocritical can you be?

Congressman Mark Alford – the Iranans aren’t going to turn Iran into a Christian Nationalist democracy and build statues to Jesus and Donald Trump. They’ll replace, at best, one Islamic government with another. No different than your fellow MAGA Republicans plan to replace Trump with a similar right-wing faux Christian Nationalist.

so, are you ready to invade Iran yourself to “stand with the people of Iran?”

You are such a damn hypocrite. And tomorrow you’ll share another biblical verse with us that further highlights your hypocrisy.

You find it’s so much easier to praise foreign protesters than do anything to help your domestic constituents. What a loser.

You want to stand with the protesters in another country, but condone the murder of protesters in your own country
Let me say this as clearly as I can.
Go.
F*ck.
Yourself.

[….] Dear god, just when I think you can’t get any worse … you go one up on your hypocricy. Do your job, honor your oath, and stand up for the people in YOUR OWN country, you toxic piece of MAGAt cult trash. You are totally and completely unfit to serve. The 4th District deserves so much better.
[….]

Donald Trump is a terrorist.

Too bad you don’t stand with the people of the United States, instead you support Ice with their gestapo tactics. Irony???

The irony is astounding. That those words could come out of your face is ridiculous. Those protestors over there are mainly liberal…left leaning. And secular. Not conservative. So, you hate leftists over here but applaud them over there? How convenient.

Why is DHS and ice using propaganda to try and get people killed? Oh. Do you think it might be to try and get people killed? Our federal government wants American citizens to die.

Are you kidding???? Why don’t you stand with the people of the United States???? Because, YOUR regime is doing to US what Iran’s is doing to THEIR peaceful protesters!!!
HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THIS???
YOU are not the ruler of the world!
What happened to taking care of YOUR OWN BACKYARD, ‘cuz, I gotta say…it’s looking really neglected.
