Leftist icon Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the UK public for Christmas.

Ahmadinejad stokes criticism with Christmas message on British TV

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stoked criticism on Thursday by delivering a Christmas message on British television, saying if Jesus were alive he would oppose “expansionist powers.”

Ahmadinejad said in the address on Channel Four that Jesus Christ would oppose “bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers.”

Britain’s Foreign Office condemned the speech, while Israel’s ambassador to London called it a “national embarrassment.”

The Channel Four broadcast is seen as an alternative to Queen Elizabeth II’s traditional annual address to the Commonwealth, which aired earlier in the day, and the station had invited Ahmadinejad to speak.

This is unreal, why is this man beloved by the Left? Any explanations?
