He doesn’t like that
Trump says it’s all so unfair to Saudi Arabia, just as it was to Brett Kavanaugh.
President Donald Trump Tuesday criticized rapidly mounting global condemnation of Saudi Arabia over the mystery of missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi, warning of a rush to judgment and echoing the Saudis’ request for patience.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Trump compared the case of Khashoggi, who Turkish officials have said was murdered in the Saudis’ Istanbul consulate, to the allegations of sexual assault leveled against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing.
“I think we have to find out what happened first,” Trump said. “Here we go again with, you know, you’re guilty until proven innocent. I don’t like that. We just went through that with Justice Kavanaugh and he was innocent all the way as far as I’m concerned.”
Except that we have only his word for that, and he told lie after lie under oath.
Also…remember the Central Park 5.
I’m sure Kavanaugh is thrrilled to be compared by Trump to murderous, medieval, religious thugs.
That’s certainly unfair to Kavanaugh. I don’t believe he’s actually killed anybody.
Yet.
I think the presumption of innocence vanished when they claimed they had seen Khashoggi leave and he had been fine.
Meanwhile, his fiancé is waiting outside for him and he never shows up.
So now clearly they’re lying to hide something. What? It’s certainly nothing innocent.
This is nothing like the Kavanaugh case.
Trump thinks its unfair that strongmen can’t just do whatever they want to losers…how awful, how unfair. And, of course, the losers are whoever the strong men say they are.
The Central Park Five, yes.
And I seem to remember some chanting about locking someone up? Does that ring a bell with anymore? What am I thinking of?
