    Every commentator who helped MBS launder his reputation by calling him a reformer, without basis, should atone to Khashoggi’s family and engage in deep self-reflection. Being counterintuitive isn’t everything.

        So, by that same theory, would you please encourage your colleagues on @Morning_Joe to have a similar on-camera mea culpa for their participation in normalizing @realDonaldTrump during the 2016 election? Many of us are still hoping for that come-to-Jesus honest conversation.

        @ruitavares But he is a reformer, just not our type. He's like an 18th century enlightened despot: modernizer *and* autocrat.

        Blame America first crowd ? Sad Even if we did no arms business w Saudi they would be a reactionary thuggish regime. There are plenty in Africa despite no trade or business ties. Saudi does have oil which someone will buy whether us or the Chinese

        I think there’s also the matter of Yemeni families to be thinking about as well. The Saudis have unleashed a military bombardment there is slowly starving a population with no real criticism from the West. Keep the spotlight on MBS but widen.

        Man, call @tomfriedman by name! l like him. Saw several interviews after his bit on MBS. He should now write a piece on hope without skepticism. You don't get Teddy Roosevelts in the desert without some evidence of incubation or menteeship! It’d be sad if Freidman dosen't admit!

        First time I hear of saudi dismemberment outside of saudi arabia. He is a reformer, just not what they meant.
