Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) suggested Monday that the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi was "disrespectful" to President Trump and other politicians who offered support for the relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

The Florida Republican has repeatedly vowed that Saudi Arabia will face consequences for its role in the death of Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and outspoken critic of Saudi leadership.

He has insisted that the U.S. risks losing its credibility on human rights issues if it allows Khashoggi's killing to go unpunished.

Saudi Arabian leadership initially denied knowing what happened to Khashoggi, but on Friday announced that the 59-year-old had died in what they claimed was a "fight" gone awry. Eighteen people were detained in connection with the incident.

18. That's funny because it's not funny.

Rubio kind of misses the point as usual.
I guess like himself, the Saudis should consider Trump's feelings.

3. well sure, when you are good fascist lackey, many things are an affront

4. Marco is full of shit. I believe implicitly or explicitly the Saudis cleared this ...

murder with Kushner just a few hours before it happened in phone conversation with MBS.

That they had a conversation is documented.

5. Fuck you Rubio

Get off your knees and wipe your fucking chin tRump lover.

6. Well, after all, it is all about Trump.

7. Totally wrong.

MBS did this in concert with Kushner and I doubt Kusher would do this without "dad's" approval. They were part of the murder plot, gave MBS tapes of Khashoggi to incite MBS to murder. They loved killing a Muslim journalist, and one that worked for WaPo. Double win in their books. They never think they will get caught and so far have ducked responsibility for any of the wreckage they're causing. Hope Mueller time comes quickly, get the info out before Cadet Bone Spurs has every shred of it destroyed by his soon to come loyalty pledged AG.

Hey Donald,

Killing that Kashoggi guy was, like, totally being rude to the Trump, you know?

They were being mean to YOU, by killing HIM!

Wow, you should really cut those guys off, for being rude to the Trump.

Hugs and Kisses,
Marco.

12. WTF? "Disrespectful to Trump?" All I can think is maybe that's Rubio's clumsy way of gettting Trump

to do something.

15. Typical Rubio and Republican values

They're always the victims , while the guy murdered after torturing him and them blatantly lying about it , and trump going along with the cover up shows how much contempt republicans and this corrupt murdering prince has for human life , and law and order. All of trumps buddies are murderers , corrupted greed driven criminals who he repeats are fine people , and he tends to not like our allies and decent people leading other countries, and it tells it all about what trump is.

17. Too bad it wasn't Trump, Kushner & Rubio who walked into the Saudi embassy in Turkey,

instead of an innocent American journalist.
