Jamal Khashoggi lived in my district. Saudi Arabia ordered the murder and dismemberment of my constituent. I will not let this go. I’m teaming up with @AOC on an amendment to ban any funding that aids or arms the Rapid Intervention Force — the Saudi unit that killed Jamal.
@GerryConnolly @AOC How he was your constituent?first time i know Saudi eligible to vot in usa!!
@GerryConnolly @AOC Anything for the Americans left in Afghanistan?
@GerryConnolly @AOC How about sanctioning Saudi Arabia like we sanction Cuba, Venezuela, & Iran? @aaronjmate @mtaibbi @jamesgala @ggreenwald @ChrisLynnHedges
@GerryConnolly @zainaconda @AOC Representative Connolly, I do hope you go after Saudi Arabia, and I also hope you can perhaps even consider going against Saudis new allies - The Israelis - for effectively doing the same thing to Palestinians. Sanction them both for peace in the ME.
@GerryConnolly @AOC This can be addressed . Just not now . Please reconsider this fight .
@GerryConnolly @AOC If you really care about Journalists, why is it that you NEVER speak out on the persecution and torture of Jullian Assange? At least he’s still alive. Wouldn’t it be of imminent importance to address it now? While you CAN still make a difference with your following?
@GerryConnolly @AOC All you have, sit on it, don't forget the existence of Great China, Great Russia
@GerryConnolly @AOC Do not let it go! This was a horrible and we all know the Trump administration approved it - Jared absolutely was behind this.
@GerryConnolly @AOC The Trump Administration allowed Khashoggi to be lured to his death. The setup started at the KSA embassy in DC.
