Had to organize a massive flow of BS--takes a few moments, right?

In fairness: that was a man looking for a way to answer a question that would allow him to keep his job.
-
Honestly that question was so pointed and inescapable I'd have just picked up my papers and left the room. I'm amazed he even tried.
-
Iran has, even if flawed, democractic elections. The Saudi royal family isn't even close to holding one this century.
-
Some would say less flawed than other major democracies!

I'm no fan of this admin, but hasn't the US been letting Saudi Arabia slide for years without a good explanation?

Also, Trump was actively campaigning on "doing things differently", openly accusing the Saudis of financing 9/11 etc.
-
Exactly!
