Marco Rubio took to Twitter Monday morning to condemn the Saudi government for the slaying of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, arguing that his death was disrespectful to both Trump and to the politicians that support the Saudi-U.S. alliance. “The #KhashoggiMurder was immoral,” Rubio wrote. “But it was also disrepectful [sic] to Trump & those of us who have supported the strategic alliance with the Saudi’s. Not only did they kill this man, they have left @POTUS & their congressional allies a terrible predicament & given Iran a free gift.” After weeks of denying responsibility for Khashoggi’s death, the Saudi government finally admitted Friday that the Washington Post correspondent died inside the consulate—although they claimed that it was the result of a spontaneous fight that “aggregated (sic) the situation and led to his death.”
