Obama’s ‘appalling errors’ on Iran can’t be repeated, the right says
Vice President Mike Pence reiterates the need to stand with protesters in Iran, and so do others on the right. A roundup of editorials Friday takes a look at the issue.
Opinions from the right:
From Vice President Mike Pence in The Washington Post: As Iranians take to the streets to demand freedom, Pence says the United States will stand with them.
I suppose it's nice that Trump and the Mercers have turned on Steve Bannon. But Trump and the Mercers made it possible for Bannon to infuse alt-right bigotry and illiberal authoritarianism into the mainstream of American politics, and for that they shouldn't be easily forgiven.

From the Washington Examiner: Are all regimes ultimately driven by good intentions? Of course not, and Trump would do well to remember former President Barack Obama’s mistakes.

From CBS: Obama’s plan called for us to trust Iran’s regime. The American people wouldn’t have and Trump didn’t.
