Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) has backed off from some of his Twitter posts yesterday, in which he seemingly compared the oppression of Iranian dissidents with the plight of House Republicans.
About ten hours ago, Culberson Tweeted this:
Restrictions against dissent in US House cannot be compared to restrictions imposed on Iranian population by their tyrant government
Yesterday, Culberson’s take had been a bit different. “Good to see Iranian people move mountains w social media, shining sunlight on their repressive govt – Texans support their bid for freedom,” he initially Tweeted. He then followed it up with: “Oppressed minorities includeHouseRepubs: We are using social media to expose repression such as last night’s D clampdown shutting off amends,” and then extensively posted about Nancy Pelosi shutting off Republican amendments.
