Iranian-American activist Masih Alinejad is accusing the American left of turning its back on Iranian protesters amid reports of thousands of deaths and a near-total communications blackout imposed by the regime.
"The silence of [the] left and liberals in America and Europe is not an accidental silence. It's an ideological silence," Alinejad said Tuesday on "Fox & Friends."
Alinejad, who has been targeted by the Iranian regime for her activism, said Western activists and celebrities who loudly champion "Free Palestine" causes have remained silent as Iranians are killed in the streets.
