'Take Gingrich, who once lambasted Barack Obama for “bowing to the Saudi king” but has himself been caught on camera bowing to Maryam Rajavi. '
'Rather, the biggest problem with U.S. politicians backing the MEK is that the group has all the trappings of a totalitarian cult. '
'The former House speaker bizarrely compared Rajavi to George Washington in his speech in Paris over the weekend. '
'But after the Iran’s clerical rulers turned on the group in the early 1980s, its leaders fled the country and unleashed a series of bombings across Iran. '
'But what would make a liberal Democrat from Vermont such as Howard Dean — who has suggested Maryam Rajavi be recognized as the president of Iran in exile — want to get into bed with them?'
