Raisi Is The Face Of Evil; So Give Him His U.S. Visa
Denying him a visa won’t do any good. But granting it might.
With the upcoming U.N. General Assembly, there is a lingering problem for the Biden administration: whether to issue a visa to Iran’s president, Ebrahim Raisi, or not. Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are newbies when it comes to being the face of pure evil. Raisi was the chief executioner officer for the mass murders of up to 30,000 political prisoners over two months in 1988 when he was only 28. Refusing him a visa is neither morally objectionable nor unprecedented. Retired senator, Joe Lieberman, and Mark Wallace, both with the United Against Nuclear Iran, recently published an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal making good points against allowing a hanging judge into the United States. But there is potential for gains if he is allowed to visit.
