Another stain that will never wash out:
The WH has issued a statement about "standing with Saudi Arabia."— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) November 20, 2018
On Khashoggi's murder (in part): "Our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event—maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!"
In summary, Trump is saying (again): Saudi Arabia is very important for the economy and for national security, so he's standing with them no matter what happened with Khashoggi, which is, in his view, impossible to determine.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 20, 2018
Imagine being tortured and dismembered and then having the president of the country that is supposed to hold your killers accountable instead repeat their smears against you while he gives them a pass.— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) November 20, 2018
That’s what just happened.
This is, hands down, the worst statement I have ever seen come out of a White House & an astonishing abdication of morals, values, principles, & decency. Anyone involved in this policy or the drafting of this travesty of a statement should be deeply ashamed. https://t.co/8oWWE27JGx— Bathsheba Crocker (@shebacrocker) November 20, 2018
An abomination that will define the ignorance, corruption, cruelty and recklessness of this presidency for generations to come:— Samantha Power (@SamanthaJPower) November 20, 2018
Statement from President Donald J. Trump on Standing with Saudi Arabia | The White House https://t.co/jxrX1LA0tP
Trump Covers & Excuses Saudi Murderers. No American is safe overseas now. “(Saudis) say that Jamal Khashoggi was an “enemy of the state” and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, but my decision is in no way based on that ...” https://t.co/WXuz8ytt7P— Malcolm Nance (@MalcolmNance) November 20, 2018
"Enemy of the state." Yes, we saw that, too.
