One thing I learned during the Obama years is that when you look the other way regarding problems in the Middle East, it seldom works out.

Time and time again President Obama chose to look the other way as Iran took increasingly provocative actions. Each time it led to even worse Iranian behavior and created even larger problems for the future.

Likewise, it is not in our national security interests to look the other way when it comes to the brutal murder of Mr. Jamal

I firmly believe there will be strong bipartisan support for serious sanctions against Saudi Arabia, including appropriate members of the royal family, for this barbaric act which defied all civilized norms.

While Saudi Arabia is a strategic ally, the behavior of the Crown Prince – in multiple ways – has shown disrespect for the relationship and made him, in my view, beyond toxic.

I fully realize we have to deal with bad actors and imperfect situations on the international stage. However, when we lose our moral voice, we lose our strongest asset.

Time and time again, Senator Graham chooses to look the other way as Trump acts in increasingly immoral, and provocative ways. Each time Graham fails to use his Congressional oversight authority to check Trump, it leads to even worse behavior and larger problems for the U.S.

Breaking news Lindsey! President Obama has been out of office all this time while there is an orangish carnival barker posing as a Potus & is running amok of the Law! Has no moral compass & is obstructing Justice, by the way this has been an ongoing problem since he took Office!

Just focus on the present. Obama is no longer President. Trump is either massively conflicted or really just doesnt care about human rights! Either way he is dangerous.

Yup. Placing strong sanctions on Iran, then using them as leverage to negotiate a significant nuclear-weapons-development-restriction agreement in exchange for ending the sanctions--an agreement with which Iran was verified to be in compliance--is certainly looking the other way.

Your '20 Dem opponent'll note you equate placing strong sanctions on Iran & using them to negotiate a nuclear-weapons-development-restriction agreement in exchange for ending sanctions--an agreement w/ which Iran was verified to be in compliance--w/ shrugging at torture/murder.
