Gabbard to Trump: "Being Saudi Arabia's "Bitch" is not "America First"

However, there IS another side to this which would be that had Trump accused the Prince of "ordering" the hit on Khashoggi that oil prices might have soared into the stratosphere as a direct result worldwide. So, there are actually many ways to look at this. However, presidents should be acting out of principle and not just about money or oil.

Gabbard says being Saudi Arabia's 'bitch' is not 'America First'

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) took aim at President Trump on Wednesday over his comments regarding the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post journalist who disappeared after entering the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey.
Gabbard wrote on Twitter that "being Saudi Arabia's bitch" did not align with the president's campaign theme of "America First," a day after Trump indicated that Saudi Arabia would not face severe consequences over Khashoggi's death.
Her comments came after Trump, as well as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, indicated that the U.S. would not sanction Saudi Arabia or otherwise punish the country over Khashoggi's death. Their stance drew criticism from both sides of the aisle Tuesday as politicians in both parties accused the White House looking the other way when it came to the Saudi government's alleged crimes.
Gabbard's comment drew its own criticism from some on social media, including "The View" co-host Meghan McCain, who noted that Gabbard's meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad threw her remarks into doubt.
"Big words coming from a woman who pals around with Bashar al-Assad as he chemically gasses women and children..." McCain wrote.
Gabbard faced criticism from many including members of her own party for meeting with Assad in January 2017, months before the Syrian government would be accused of a chemical weapons attack against its own people.
Despite the criticism, Gabbard easily won reelection in Hawaii earlier this month with 77 percent of the vote in her district.
