The United States should be a shining light for the world, modeling a democracy that values truth, respects free press, protects human rights, and stands against murderers, oppression, and bigotry. Trump and the Republican Party are dimming that light.
And it was purely happenstance that, along with the bone saw, there was present the head of the Saudi Scientific Council of Forensics, an autopsy expert known to be skilled in the rapid dissection of human bodies?
The Saudi “explanation” for murdering journalist and Virginia resident Jamal Khashoggi in a consulate—a fistfight gone wrong—is insulting.
Since the Trump Administration won’t stand up against atrocity, Congress must.
NOTE TO JOURNALISTS:
"If someone says it’s raining, and another says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the window and find out which is true."
The murder of Jamal Khashoggi is deeply important. For what it says about power, about evil, about truth, about arrogance, about morality, about justice, about freedom (esp of speech).
Pres. Trump's celebration of a congressman who assaulted a journalist is disgusting. The rapturous cheers from the crowd are deeply disturbing. The silence from GOP officials is the sound of cowardice. This has not, must not, will not be my America.
@realDonaldTrump What fucking planet are you living on. Maybe govern with some dignity and grace for one minute in 2 years?
Caged babies, silenced women, murdered American journalists, corrupt at every level, shameful.
A US permanent resident, the Father of American children and a Washington Post columnist was murdered in a Saudi Consulate and dismembered. The Saudi statement is a farce and a joke. The Trump administration is colluding in this sham. It is a disgrace of epic dimensions. Shameful
@realDonaldTrump Beto O’Rourke has more integrity in his pinky finger than Ted Cruz has in his whole family tree.
Also “horseface” @StormyDaniels is way better looking than you think, congrats on your 90 seconds with her.
Anyone you know look like Caitlyn Jenner trying to be Bruce again? 🤔
Yes, it’s outrageous Trump called a woman, “horseface”. It’s outrageous Trump praised dude who body-slammed a reporter. Yes, he’s using immigrant caravan to fire up base. What I want to continue asking is: “What the hell is the US gonna do about Saudis butchering a US Resident?”
