DC trolls Saudi embassy by naming street Jamal Khashoggi Way

WASHINGTON (AP) — One month ahead of President Joe Biden’s trip to Saudi Arabia, the District of Columbia is renaming the street in front of the Saudi embassy Jamal Khashoggi Way, trolling Riyadh for its role in the killing of the dissident Saudi activist and journalist in 2018.

With members of the D.C. Council in attendance, a Jamal Khashoggi Way sign was unveiled directly in front of the embassy’s main entrance.

“We intend to remind the people who are hiding behind these doors ... that we hold them responsible and we will hold them accountable for the murder of our friend,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of DAWN, the pro-Arab world democracy organization founded by Khashoggi prior to his death.

Whitson also criticized what she called the “shameless capitulation” of the Biden administration for seeking improved relations with the Saudi government and scheduling an official presidential visit to the kingdom.

The D.C. Council unanimously voted late last year to rename a one-block stretch for Khashoggi. The renaming is ceremonial, as signified by the brown street sign instead of the usual green, and it won’t impact the embassy’s mailing address. But the sign will remain indefinitely. An email to the Saudi Embassy seeking comment did not receive a response.

Pretty good troll.

Short Bus Biden's dinner plate in the Kingdom will be the soles of a pair of MBS's sandals.

I have a feeling he was involved in more than just writing opinion articles for the Washington Compost.

He's been reduced to piecework to get by these days...

I would let him come there and refuse to see him and let him speak to some low level guy. Send him on his way with no promise of anything.

That old fart probably wouldn’t know the difference. The Saudi’s already know he is brain dead. Hope he doesn’t poop his pants like he did when he saw the Pope.

This could end up being more embarrassing to watch than that Jan 6th comedy show of Pelosis.

I’d cancel Joe’s trip until the sign was gone.

Concurring bump...drive the shitlibs crazy.

If, by some miracle, the GOP takes the House & Senate back in November, their first acts should be to
#!- remove the DC government,
#2- return to the “Commissioner” governance, and,
#3- eliminate the “fake” House seat “given” to DC and occupied by a satanic communist...

Finally, I do not think DC residents should get to vote in presidential elections... That includes both their votes inside DC and then their votes at multiple polling locations in MD they have been bussed to....

Khashoggi was a terrorist supporter. The saudi’s were right to kill him. They should have just shot him dead.
