As co-chairs of the Senate #HumanRightsCaucus, Senator @ChrisCoons and I are closely following the concerning reports about the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul one week ago today.

You might want to look into attacks against our own free press here in the USA.

Thank you &
@ChrisCoons for calling for an investigation into Mr. Khashoggi’s disappearance & for advocating for a free press. Please call out@realDonaldTrump when he rails about “fake news” & tells his supporters not to believe anything they read—it’s undemocratic & dangerous.Thanks.

I would implore you to address this same issue with the occupant of the Oval Office.

Freedom of the press is vital. The lies coming out of the WH have to be exposed. "Fake news" is a ploy to make people question the truth.

Do you not see how much your party’s rhetoric has manifested an anti-free press sentiment across the globe? And now you want to do what’s right? Shame. Start by calling out the president....

Sen Tillis and
@ChrisCoons, tell that to@realDonaldTrump, many of his comments have led to this type of behavior now being widely accepted since he has declared the Press the Enemy. His comments and actions have given Dictator's and countries new life to act in this manner. -
The new
@GOP has also been complicit with these actions by not denouncing the attacks on the Media, while also joining in on many occasions. This is unacceptable from leaders of our Country as this goes against the Constitution you swore to uphold.@counterchekist@TheRickWilson

This is an unexpectedly reasonable take from the modern GOP, given how you all constantly attack our own press.
-
Which is why he specifically doesn't address that - ever. He knows he's a lying hypocrite.

Perhaps you should share this with Trump. On multiple occasions he has encouraged violence against journalists.

If you care about freedom of the press, how about you stop carrying water for a POTUS who demonizes our free press as “fake news”?

Why don’t you criticize the autocratic tendencies of your beloved Canteloupe Conman,
@realDonaldTrump? He slams the press and has encouraged people to attack journalists he disagrees with.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

How about when your President calls the press the “Enemy of the People”? Why not call him out for that?

I agree with you on this but I’m still upset about Kavanaugh and the children in cages.

The president says the Press is the "enemy of the people". Do you think that's ok?
