U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has a message for President Donald Trump: “Being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not ‘America First.’”
Gabbard sent the tweet to @realDonaldTrump earlier this morning, ratcheting up criticism of the president’s continued support for the country despite the CIA’s conclusion that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Hey @realdonaldtrump: being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “America First.”

“If we abandon Saudi Arabia, it would be a terrible mistake,” Trump told reporters outside of the White House Tuesday. “We’re with Saudi Arabia. We’re staying with Saudi Arabia.”
Trump said that it’s in the best interest of the U.S. not to damage ties with Saudi Arabia over the killing. In particular, he said it could send oil prices soaring.
“It’s a very simple equation for me,” he said. “I’m about making America great again and I’m about America first.”
Gabbard has been a harsh critic of Saudi Arabia’s intervention in Yemen and has urged the U.S. to end its support for the war.

That’s the kind of foul-mouthed simpleton the Democrats are planning on running against President Trump? Mrs. Melania Trump should start looking for nice private high schools for Barron within driving distance of the White House. Maybe Catholic.
Back to the Dump. The midterms are over. You lost.

Really can’t trust any of these people that stuck with Obama. /Captain Obvious
She confusing him with Bush and Obama....
But she is a Dim-wit
So she is another cheap shot hack who is not of world leadership class. Thank God we have a hand like Trumps on our international affairs
So what was Obama to Iran?
Don’t recall any outcry from the media or Dems when Obama was bowing and scraping to the Saudi’s right after he took office. Their culture was the same then as it is now.
wow - I’m a little surprised at her ignorance on this, especially since she has long passed herself off as lucid and rational thinker - even I was convinced!
Gabbard is just another politician who lets her emotions do her thinking for her.
No, President Trump has chosen the right course here. Thank God cooler heads prevail.
Well, that about ends the Right’s flirtation with Tulsi Gabbard.
Really? Who would that be up to - Mattis, Trump?
Hello kettle! At least the “b” part.
I think it is a UCMJ violation.
Tulsi - sounds like these countries are putting their own interests first!

26 Oct: France24: AFP: Stopping Saudi arms sales over Khashoggi ‘pure demagoguery’, Macron says
Halting arms sales to Saudi Arabia because of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi would be “pure demagoguery”, French President Emmanuel Macron said Friday.
The sale of weapons “has nothing to do with Mr Khashoggi. One shouldn’t mix everything up,” he said at a press conference during a visit to Bratislava...

Second that!
The departed muslim brotherhood WaPo contributor was not an American and the killing did not happen in the USA. It is not any of our business as far as I am concerned. I wonder if Gabbard called the Kenyan out over Benghazi?

Tulsi: Veterans help light a path forward to a brighter future - Veterans Day 2018 , in Hawaii . Watch as Rep Gabbard quickly turns a solemn occasion into a partisan anti-Trump political attack .
And the local vets thought her remarks were all just so cool.... What has gotten into people these days . To include many of our veterans ?....
Isn’t the CIA forbidden from making public the results of their be spying? Trump needs to get these traitors in line or out the door.
There was not even a scintilla of this venom for Saudi Arabia when Obama released the 26 pages from the 9/11 report, showing their complicity on the greatest attack of our homeland. If we did nothing then, why should we declare war now? If there was ever a reason to go to war - was it those 26 pages?
Why so much hysteria for Khashoggi?
Why do I feel that the real reason is to get back at Trump for Iran and how he trashed Sacred Obama’s Dumb Deal. Now they will seek to embarrass him for picking the wrong horse in the Middle East. Frankly, out of the 2 snakes, Saudi is the safer bet for America, and Iran should be stopped. Iran is far more dangerous.
