The Spin
Right or left, everyone must take a stand against foreign election interference and be vigilant against all attempts. These attempts span from the dissemination of fake news to hacking, and are intended to weaken the US and sow chaos. Countries like Iran must face consequences for these shameless attempts to undermine theWashington's electoral system in the US.
The US is the world's biggest election interferer, and its pontificating about foreign interference is meant to distract from its misdeeds abroad. The US openly speaks of regime change in countries that don't toe the Washington line, with Iran being one of its biggest targets, historically. The US should stop its hypocrisy and stay out of other countries' business.
