“Sorry She Feels That Way”: Biden Responds To Khashoggi’s Widow Saying MBS’ Next Victim Is On Him
President Joe Biden caved in Saudi Arabia causing an uproar on the left after he called the Saudi regime a pariah for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. The Washington Post trashed Biden as did Khashoggi’s fiancée Hatice Cengiz
She called Biden’s cave a betrayal and said on social media, “What Jamal Khashoggi would tweet today: “The blood of MBS’s next victim is on your hands.”
Biden was asked about it during a press conference where he said: “I’m sorry she feels that way. I was straightforward back then, I was straightforward today.
“This is a meeting, what I, I didn’t come here to meet the crown prince.
-We just heard from Jamal Khashoggi’s wife who said:After this visit the blood of MBS’s next victim is on your hands. What do you say to Mrs Khashoggi?

“I came here to meet the GCC, the nine nations, to deal with the security and the needs of the free world, particularly the United States, and not leave a vacuum here, which was happening as it has in other parts of the world.”
The Washington Post publisher and CEO Fred Ryan called out Biden in a statement:
He said:
“The fist bump between President Biden and Mohammed bin Salman was worse than a handshake – it was shameful.
“It projected a level of intimacy and comfort that delivers to MBS the unwarranted redemption he has been desperately seeking.”
