"When somebody gives money to a group that murders people, is that expressing their opinion or is this funding murder?" "What happens in the political campaign generally doesn't survive the reality of being in office. President Trump said things about Saudi Arabia during the campaign, but then when he was in office we had a great relationship with him. What happens in campaigns, is what I call happening during the silly season."raised the issue of Khashoggi's killing, and his understanding of Mohammed bin Salman's part in it.
So how does that resonate with the men and woman of this kingdom? How do they feel about the president's visit, and their fluctuating relationship with the US?
