Well, well, well—looks like Iranian hackers are back at it again, meddling in American elections like it’s their new national sport. This time, U.S. intelligence officials uncovered a new low: stolen data from Trump’s campaign was quietly slipped into the inboxes of the Biden-Harris camp over the summer. Yep, the Biden team allegedly got a sneak peek at the Trump campaign’s private info, courtesy of our friendly neighborhood Iranian hackers.
According to Fox News, U.S. intelligence hasn’t confirmed whether Kamala Harris’s crew actually used this intel for any strategic advantage. But let’s be honest, who wouldn’t be tempted to tweak their messaging or ad buys if you had access to your opponent’s game plan? I mean, it’s like the political version of finding your rival’s playbook before the Super Bowl. And if you think this sounds like the plot of a bad spy movie, buckle up, because this is the new norm in American elections.
The FBI, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have all confirmed that Iran was behind this phishing attack. These bad actors sent unsolicited emails containing snippets of Trump’s campaign data to people linked to Biden’s team. While there’s no proof that anyone responded to those emails, the mere fact that Iran is getting involved like this should send chills down your spine. Their goal? According to the report, they want to “stoke discord and undermine confidence in our electoral process.”
Gee, where have we heard that before? Oh, right—2016, when Russia threw its hat into the election interference ring. Remember how the Hillary Clinton camp accused Trump of being Putin’s puppet? Yeah, those were fun times. Now, it’s Iran’s turn to play puppet master, and surprise, surprise, the Biden-Harris campaign is the potential beneficiary of this dirty game. Funny how history repeats itself, huh?
President Trump has already called out the madness, labeling it “insanity” that Iranian hackers could breach his campaign. And he’s not wrong. For all the talk about “foreign interference” over the years, it seems like we’ve learned nothing. Our adversaries—be it Russia, Iran, or whoever’s next in line—are getting bolder, and the Biden-Harris administration doesn’t exactly have a track record of getting tough on these threats.
As we inch closer to the 2024 election, we can expect more of this nonsense. Iran’s out to destabilize our election process, and, shocker, the left doesn’t seem too upset about it. You have to wonder—who’s really benefiting here?

IF THEY THINK THESE COUNTRIES ARE SO GREAT, MOVE TO ONE OF THEM. THEY WILL NEVER BE MISSED HERE AND Tke the news media with you.
