Summary
PressTV aired Calla Walsh praising Ayatollah Khamenei during funeral coverage, calling him the "greatest anti-imperialist leader" of her lifetime and saying his message reached beyond Iran.
Walsh described herself as a U.S. journalist working in Lebanon and also said the United States had been "more humiliated" than ever, with the interview published under a headline hailing Khamenei’s universal resistance message.
Massachusetts political profiles have linked Walsh to Sen. Ed Markey’s 2020 primary effort, Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s orbit, as well as work with Act on Mass and Councilor Julia Mejia.
The appearance adds to earlier scrutiny of Walsh’s activism, including January reporting that she shared Minneapolis protest footage and prior video showing her in Iran chanting "Death to America! Death to Israel!"
Fox News Digital said Walsh and the Democratic figures she had worked with did not respond before publication, leaving the interview likely to sharpen attention on her past political ties.
