(CCTV | Hurriyet | The Associated Press) In this Oct. 2, 2018 file image taken from CCTV video obtained by the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, shows Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s first trip abroad since the killing of Khashoggi will offer an early indication of whether he will face any repercussions. The prince is visiting close allies in the Middle East before attending the Group of 20 Summit in Argentina, where he will come face to face with Trump, who appears keen to preserve their friendship, as well as European leaders and Turkey’s president, who has stepped up pressure on the kingdom.
I just read of Chris Stewart’s comment that we should not be concerned over the Jamal Khashoggi killing, as journalists disappear all the time. If this is, in fact, true, are we to believe this is what Utahans believe?
I am appalled at how un-American such a posture is. This is not a Republican or Democratic issue. It is an American one! One can only assume congressional representatives reflect the view of those who elect them.
