A White House-linked social media account posted two messages Friday targeting conservative commentator Batya Ungar-Sargon after she described the Iran agreement as an "utter humiliation" for the United States. The account, identified as Rapid Response 47, wrote that "the only humiliation here is Batya desperately begging for an additional brain cell" and compared her to other media figures.
It also mocked national-security writer David Reaboi, calling him a "complete nobody" whose "dim-witted ravings" drew little interest.
Background on the agreement Ungar-Sargon, a NewsNation host who has described herself as a "MAGA leftist," said during a television appearance that she would support any deal benefiting the United States even if it harmed Israel. She argued the current agreement instead represented a strategic surrender.
Reaboi, who has been associated with America First circles, accused Vice President JD Vance of adopting positions similar to podcaster Theo Von.
Ted Cruz have also voiced concerns that the agreement resembles past accommodations with Iran that Republicans previously opposed. The White House has sought to defend the agreement while dismissing some critics as individuals who favor continued conflict. The Post has sought comment from the White House and from Ungar-Sargon.
