Oh no.
They murdered his Dad, dismembered his body, orchestrated a cover-up, lied about the murder, then lied about the cover-up…and now are forcing Khashoggi's son, who is a captive in his own country, to participate in a photo-op shaking hands with the prince who murdered his Dad. https://t.co/LfEym9CxAR

The son of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi was pictured with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, the man widely believed to have orchestrated the journalist’s death.
The state-run Saudi Press Agency reported that Khashoggi’s son, Salah Khashoggi, met the king and crown prince on Tuesday in Riyadh.
…
The journalist had four adult children, all of whom were US-educated, NPR reported. It is not clear whether Salah, who was pictured with the Saudi monarchs, has US citizenship. His siblings were neither mentioned nor pictured on Tuesday.
Karen Attiah, Khashoggi’s editor at The Washington Post, has tweeted concern about Khashoggi’s family. She said that Saudi Arabia had imposed a travel ban on his children to put pressure on him for his writing.
But I’m sure he went in for that photo op completely voluntarily.

Like so much that is taking place daily in the world now, this incident is so far beyond revolting that…words fail.
I could hardly sustain the thought of what that would be like.
