NEW YORK (VINnews) — On Tuesday, Congressman Lee Zeldin, Republican candidate for governor of New York, released a statement calling on the Biden State Dept. to not grant a visa to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the ‘butcher of Tehran’, who viciously murdered thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of Iranians, during and after the Iranian revolution.

Raisi has been under U.S. sanctions since November 2019 for “complicity in serious human-rights violations,” during his time as judiciary chief. Washington accuses him of playing a leading role in mass executions in 1988 while he was chief prosecutor of the Tehran revolutionary court.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley also called on the Biden administration to deny the visas.
“The world’s leading state sponsor of terror attempted to assassinate American officials inside our country,” she told Fox News. “Under no circumstances should the Biden administration allow Raisi to set foot in our country.”
Hope Zeldin soon changes his title from congressman to governor
This country is warped
Kathy Hochul did nothing to earn her the Governorship.
he should be carried in a coffin only
The only thing that can save New York from itself is a governor Zeldin. It’s up to all of us, come November !!!
The UN Treaty requires that he be given a visa. And Zeldin knows this.
He also knows that photocopying signatures in petitions is illegal but his campaign did it anyway. That makes two big time Republican election fraudsters in New York. Dinesh D’Souza was the first. But Zeldin’s Trump Cult supporters ignore Republican election fraud.
Zeldin was OK when Trump personally welcomed Tsar Putin, the Butcher of Ukraine, and the Saudi Arab Prince to the White House.
