US senator hints Trump condoned murder by backing MbS
2018-11-27
[PRESSTV] A United States senator suggests President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
condoned murder by dictators around the world by supporting Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
...Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as of 2016....
in an international scandal involving the killing of a dissident Saudi Arabian journalist.

Maine Independent Senator Angus King said on CBS’s "Face the Nation" on Sunday that a recent statement by Trump in support of Mohammed "gives a pass to dictators around the world."

In that statement, Trump sought to argue that the US had economic and national security interests in supporting Saudi leadership despite the widespread belief that Mohammed ordered the killing of dissident Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in the Ottoman Turkish city of Istanbul on October 2.

"Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan sought to obtain Senator King’s opinion on whether a decision "to trade off between US national security interests and human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
concerns when it comes to Saudi Arabia" was easy.
