    I am sick and outraged over the murder of journalist and American permanent resident Jamal Khashoggi. The President and his administration have failed to uphold their duty to the Constitution and to the rule of law by turning a blind-eye to this demonic act.

        Greed and power can never be allowed to conspire to extinguish a human life. The murder of Jamal Khashoggi is a vicious attack on the press, on free speech, and basic human rights.

        It's hard not to see parallels to the Civil Rights Movement when reporters were threatened, beaten, & attacked for attempting to shine a light on injustices perpetrated in the Deep South. The administration’s weak & feeble response demonstrates whose side they really fight for.

        Worse than a blind eye. How many times has he attacked the Washington Post? Do you think the Crown Prince knew that killing one of their writers would meet with approval and a blind-eye at the White House?

        👆This. 100% this. Trump all but announced open season on journalists. And the dictators of the world took notice. Jamal Khashoggi’s blood is on Trump’s hands. His participation in the cover up in the name of arms sale money just seals the deal.

        U.S. had intelligence reports of this threat to his life and did not act on them. Trump administration is complicit.

        I would not be surprised if Trump intimated to Saudi that a certain journalist needed to “disappear”. He watches his mentor Putin orchestrating deaths all the time. Imitation is the highest form of flattery after all.

        It was more of a play on the trope that we are in a bad 80s movie. I am active. I have been canvassing my local community and speaking with candidates about the issues.

        Could Congress issue some sort of statement condemning this action? It's clear the self-investigation is useless.

        That’s what mystifies me. Congress is saying nothing. When Daniel Pearl was murdered, it was a huge deal. Jamāl gets nothing. Jamāl was a legal permanent resident here. One of us. Why is this being shrugged off?

        Time to call your representatives loud and clear and often about our Congress taking a stand because our president sure won't.

        I'm shocked at the public statement. I would've guessed something along these lines was happening behind the scenes, but not to this extent. I think we all know what's truly happening here and it's progressed so fast. Fast for their hateful goals. Midterms can't come fast enough.
