The Trump administration wants people to think Iran’s new ayatollah is gay. Fox News’s Jesse Watters asked President Trump Thursday about the rumor that Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the hard-line cleric tapped to lead Iran, was a closeted gay man. “Did the CIA tell you that Ayatollah Jr. is gay?” Watters asked. “Well they did say that, but I don’t know if it was only them. Which puts him off to a bad start in that particular country,” Trump said. In Iran, same-sex acts are punishable by death.
