By cozying up so much to Trump, Saudi Arabia makes itself a partisan lightning rod in the U.S. https://t.co/yS5CYycfZa

Frankly speaking, to me it looks like both sides are cozying up to each other.
But beware of the day, if your Snark be a Boojum!

Jamal #Khashoggi, a @Washingtonpost journalist, was murdered and dismembered more that 100 days ago. A great nation would not protect those who were responsible for that.https://t.co/IEHReB3Q2W — @NewYorker

The "HERO" thing seems to be a bit overstretched. Heros don't bow to those who are responsible for the slaughtering of #Khashoggi and for getting rid of witnesses by means of death sentences issued by kangaroo courts. pic.twitter.com/FHsE1uBkt1

Trial against the alleged killers of #Khashoggi starts today. Death penality should help to get rid of 5 witnesses. If their relatives and lawyers address any involvement of MbS, they would be in trouble. MbS' business partner Trump looks the other way.https://t.co/yTpBzVHv8D

Nope, no, not in America. 100% unacceptable. This is not who we are. We don't watch a Washington Post journalist get assassinated and dismembered and say "it is what it is."

Trump’s defense of Khashoggi’s Saudi murderers will stain him (and America) forever https://t.co/g0UToDJMFG

This is, without a doubt, the most uninformed, imbecilic, toady, poorly-written, categorically untrue statement I have ever seen from a president of the United States. A complete disgrace. https://t.co/9eqoWFeroX

Later the US Senate got closer to the truth. From the Congressional Record:
Trump doesn't trust the press, but believed Mohammad bin Salman. Weird.
From the Senate:
SUPPORTING A DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION IN YEMEN AND CONDEMNING THE MURDER OF JAMAL KHASHOGGI

It's clear from the Saudi report their national security apparatus is bearing the brunt of the blame for killing #Khashoggi. Remains to be seen whether intel officers are solely responsible or being scapegoated. The evolving narrative makes everything they say hard to believe. pic.twitter.com/H7TMXWcYBf

Trump says the crown prince told him “maybe five different times” and “as recently as a few days ago” that he had nothing to do with the #Kashoggi killing.
Believe women? No.
Believe scientists? No.
Believe the FBI? No.
Believe authoritarians? Of course! https://t.co/tVAg3cw7Jz— Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 (@DemWrite) November 19, 2018
“I would love if he wasn’t responsible,” Trump said of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. To Trump, MBS is “a strong person, he has very good control.”https://t.co/2tXfPSoOKK
