SC state senator compares Iranian protests to right-wing tea parties.

South Carolina State Sen. David Thomas (R) is a prolific Twitter user. In recent days, he’s been giving his thoughts on the situation in Iran, sarcastically writing, “Just watched on Fox: Iran Clerics decare Iran election was legit. Glad that’s finally cleared up.” Two of his tweets also applauded the protests, comparing them to the right-wing tea parties in the United States:

If Thomas isn’t careful, he may end up becoming a meme. (HT: Wonkette)
