In Viral Video, Medea Benjamin Confronts Trump Official on Iran 

And special thanks to the sound guy! He could have shut her down but kept her on mic then entire time.

Medals for Medea

Israel LIES AMERICA LIES 😊😊

Agreeee deeeply🎉🎉🎉❤❤

For supplementing her social security off the misfortunes of other people ?

I am a muslim and this wars are against us and it is us who will die and she is a hero and non of the muslims currently are except palestinians men and women and kids.

Randi Young how true! The right wing has co-opted the word “patriot”. Madea IS a true patriot!

You know Iran jails women for removing headscarfs right?

MyDefendor Q so what does that have to do with anything?

@@MyDefendor, those very same women are the potential victims of a war. Do you think killing them is a viable solution?

what killing OldTeaMate? There should be no deal with an authoritarian theocratic sharia country! While the imagined women you are talking about are not dying , there are actual women who are being jailed from removing their headscarf, political prisoners being hanged, minorities seeking self-determination are being bombed by the Mullah own Islamic army. Come one!! Wake the f*ck up! Iran is run by evil people!

@@eliseville ABSOLUTELY!!! This is one of THE most inspiring vids I have ever seen! Go #CodePink #MedeaBenjamin wow!!!

Don't expect "God" to do anything. Only masses of American people can stop this madness, and without going through an enormous war with millions of deaths and consequences for decades.

And yet the Police are there to protect the WARCRIMINALS - from those who would protest or arrest them... imgflip.com/gif/2ihfz0

God??!! When all those filthy religions are mostly to blame for this situation, and you expect a god? Disgusting!

@@germancarrasco2028 You are right, buddy. Amazing how blind and stupid can religious people get to be!

Calling people names isn't an argument kiddo. ;)

Definite I am with Medea...the most courageous woman ever known

AIPAC needs to be removed from any influence on American politics immediately! What are they even doing there being a foreign power? According to various constitutions word wide such an entity is considered illegal (high treason).

❤

How do think it would of gone down if it was a man? the gloves would of been taken off.

@@robdrich8556 like g-pop Ray McGovern.

BE LIKE HER!!! WE NEED ALL OF US NOW!!!

Of course you do

Shes a partisan dingbat. Which press conferences was she crashing in the Obama years? Hmmmm...........

Obama passed that deal to avoid a new war... repubs destroy it for political reasons and you think the reaction should be the same? How about you get used to be pointed as a mass murderer supporter because that's what you are.

UnFortunately this looks like the last scene in the movie called the end of humanity on earth, Otherwise when all is said and done there would be a movie made about the absolute bravery of this woman.

No. Iran is in the verge of collapse thanks to the newly implemented sanctions. This woman doesn't know what she's talking about.

​@@roberts3741including israhell

Romans 13 English Standard Version (ESV) Submission to the Authorities 13 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

LET'S BECOME MEDEA!!! Yes my sister #StepItUpNOW

As an Iranian I was moved by her bravery and got into tears! God bless all people who look for and support the TRUTH, and stand up against oppression. Love from Iran for American people and all peaceful people around the world.

@@mohammadrezaaghanoori8793 ✌✌✌ Salam Alleikum! ✌✌✌ ❤💙❤💚❤💛❤💙❤💚❤💙

CJ in PA she made us Iranians so happy, god bless her

This little woman is bigger than all the people in that room, combined! What a roll model and hero she is.

Yea she's an Iranian patriot, she also hates Russia so much, she constantly calls Russia a fascist country, even though Russia and Iran are allies

She's a true, American patriot. Of course, the corporate media is terrified of her.

Zack Barkley This lady got ball

Absolutely! Great job! It was like she had a microphone aimed at her, it was that clear. She maintained her calm, she stayed polite and finished her story. This was a top notch protest.

Not really.

Yes! That was the most amazing thing! I think that if I tried a thing like that, I would simply dissolve into micro-tangents.

Geoff Griffiths My thoughts exactly. I believe she was wearing a mic and that is why she sounds so clear. Even when those guys are between her and all of the reporters with directional mics, you can still hear her just fine. When they drag her out of the room you can still hear her clearly. Kinda makes you ask yourself why CSPAN would mic a protester. Maybe a little bias I think.

@aleceyeful There was a guy with a directional mic pointed at her the whole time. Obviously, the guy from the Hudson Inst.

David Schlessinger well said!

David Schlessinger yes we do! They make it very hard for us to collaborate but that's what we need to do. I don't think most Americans even know the definition or the meaning behind collaborating together for the greater good...

Does anyone think the American Revolution was easy? I"m from the 60s do you think protesting was easy then? Doing the "right" thing never is. Sounds like you are good person.

David Schlessinger you will never stop the wars because morons in uniforms will always do what the ones paying them, tell them to do

David Schlessinger that's the elites only power, order following morons

Eliseville i thought manning was running for congress but,havent heard anymore about it.is she running or not.

Eliseville Maryland was the state.manning announced several months ago .but I couldn't find any about it since.

On June 26, 2018, Chelsea Manning finished second among eight Democrats vying for their party's U.S. Senate nomination in Maryland's primary election. Manning received 5.7% of the votes. Incumbent Ben Cardin won renomination with 80.5% of the votes cast.

Steven Benson yeah,thanks.

THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR THE 99 PERCENT. JUST LIKE TIM WISE, WESLEY CLARK JR, NOAM CHOMSKY, GLEN FORD, CHRIS HEDGES, VINCENT EMMANUELLE, KEN O'KEEFE, GEORGE CARLIN, ROXANNE ORTIZ DUNBAR, SAM HARRIS, VETERANS AGAINST WARS FOR PROFIT, OMALI YESHITELA, ROBERT ERICKSON, AND OLIN TEZCATLIPOCA.

But you do. We all do.

What courage? If she is so brace how about she goes to Iran and protest against the dictatorship there...LOL U people r silly. How about u support the actual heros who r in Oran fighting against a dictatorship.... This is coming from an Iranian btw... U people r funny...u don't even know what truth and courage is... With ur little silly liberal comments supporting fundamentalist dictatorships...making urself r Greek good in the west

Michael - Medea _is_ 100% warrior.

But I do support folks who have to fight/resist against dictatorships and oppression. I do not support bullshit war propaganda. I support the Kurdish people, Palestinian's Human Rights, GLBT+ rights in Iran and elsewhere, the people of Saudi Arabia who are not even allowed to hold protests, folks faced with a corrupt justice system in Russia, people submitted to the whacky prison system in the USA, etc.

AWOL for eight years, only now is she back.

yep, so get to tweeting n writing

Truth hurts

@Afsaneh Afsan truth can be shocking and strange, right? "Better to be slapped in the face with the truth than kissed with a lie!"

@Janet Baker they need to quit their jobs and then jump off the nearest skyscraper.

William exactly. A complete chickenhawk.

Indeed...what a creep

In fact, he looks like Reinhard Heydrich in this situation.

And listen to the sound of silence.

OMG! That is Orwellian! Let's hear that as a warning rather than our FATE! PLEASE! Yes, I remember that beautiful song. Words are so important. Communication between humans is paramount. #Unity4Humanity #Unity4Humankind #Unity4J #StandWithTRUTH

Totally agree. Psychopaths ruling our world

There are those of US that do not want war! I want a travel/tourist economy so we can visit each other, try all the great cuisine foods, exchange good ideas that help all of us, the list is endless! For the bribed politicians it's all about making PROFITS these people are sociopaths! Their god is GOD ALL MONEY! It's so gross! I'm fighting for peace!

Despite collapsed democracy in entire world, she transfer innocents voice in the darkness of politics!! Her voice hurt Satanism and those fake international action!! They are playing with Human Blood! And this is their ritual toward Satan!! How many blood must sacred for their rituals!? Afghanistan blood, Libya blood, Iraq blood , Yamen Blood , Syria blood, .... WHERE IS END ? WHO CAN STOP ITS RITUALS ? WHERE IS HUMANITY RIGHTS? IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY KILLED WHOLE HUMANITY RIGHTS!!

People in Iran need to take down the regime

@Arayn M. This woman takes money from the regime in Iran and has been on Islamic republic TV going back several years...well recorded... A Hero doesn't take money and is not an agent of regimes... Real heros are Iranians fighting the filthy regime in Iran...that has taken them hostage... If u care about Iran first bother to do research, so instead of Iranian people u don't support the regime and those that take money from the regime to oppress the Iranians, and have led Iran to the level of Isolation were it can be sanctioned so easily... Its the Islamic regime and the clowns like this woman that have led Iran to this point.... Regime change by Iranians. is the only solution, not these silly acts R u even in Iran bud?!?!
