On CNN Friday morning, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, without citing evidence or sources, suggested that President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner may have played a role in the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

“Let me get to the point that I think is most disturbing right now,” Castro said to CNN reporter Poppy Harlow in Friday’s interview. “The reporting that Jared Kushner may have with U.S. intelligence delivered a hit list — an enemies list — to the crown prince, to [Mohammed bin Salman], in Saudi Arabia and that the prince then may have acted on that, and one of the people that he took action against is Mr. Khashoggi.”

Bernie Sanders tweet:

By attacking the media and condoning violent behavior toward journalists, Trump is giving a green light to authoritarians all over the world to endanger the lives of those who work for a free press.

I also saw an interview with Elizabeth Warren where she claimed President Trump was somehow involved with this cover-up. I want to know where Julian Castro's sources are coming from because those are some bold accusations.

Really Bernie? It's funny how on one hand Trump is a bumbling idiot that the rest of the world laughs at, BUT the rest of the world is influenced by him. What's that say about the rest of the world?

You almost got Sen. Sanders' quote correct.

Trump is giving a green light to authoritarians all over the world

Nuance is tough sometimes.
 
If only democrats cared about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi as much as they care about this guy.
 
"Thread: Democrats are blaming Trump/Kushner for the death of Khashoggi"

The reverse of this absurd thread title might be: "Republicans Jump for Joy at Murder of Journalist".

Both ideas are definitely absurd.

How is he giving the green light then? Because obviously, if he didn't, they wouldn't right? That's what Bernie is getting at.

Since he is saying that because Trump does it, it's giving the green light. That's as influential as it gets. You're right, nuance is tough.

The idea of this debate site is exchange of ideas and counter argument. Neither is possible when the ideas and argument are reduced to a level of pure rant, as in the manner set forth in the title to this thread. Posters like the OP spoil this place.

Democrats did not kill the anyone in Benghazi. Democrats did care about the deaths, we just did not use the deaths as a political football.

The GOP so tightly wrapped up the deaths to hit the Democrats with politically...even after 9 hearings showing no evidence showing HRC or any other Obama administration official was at fault.

Good to see you're still getting use out the the long held lie. This is a GOP lie before Trump.

Just showing the GOP was good at lying...way before Trump came along.

Umm, not founded in reality or facts. My read is that it's a really bad case of TDS.

You're asking me to give an explanation of Sanders' thinking. How Sanders' believes Trump is giving the green light to authoritarians is locked in his head.

I simply pointed out to you... your incorrect assessment that Sander's statement was to the whole of the rest of the world.

Now that you understand who Sanders was speaking of...now you can focus on those specific persons Sanders was speaking of to get the answers you seek.

Sure you did. You cared so much in fact that you ran with a youtube lie to help cover obamas tracks.
You could always prove me wrong right now and post exactly what Obama did that night. the orders he gave, when he gave them and to who. We already know Clinton sent her daughter an email that contained a far different description than what Obama and her told the nation.
Thanks for proving my point. You defend terrorists who kill Americans but denounce this. Obama let four Americans die for votes. Its as simple as that. He had just touted his success against terrorism therefore he couldnt have a terrorist attack be on record just days before the election...nope he had to let them die and then blame it on a youtube video. Yeah, you know how impromptu attacks happen....your driving around and suddenly you hear about a youtube video, so you become ao enraged that you grab your 100k RPG from your trunk and begin youtube raging with it. Since I know you all cant possibly believe it wasnt what it was, a terrorist attack, it shows you are still running cover for Obama letting four Americans die. Pretty disgusting. I wonder how many people you think actually believe you.

Sander's words, not mine:

And don't move the goalposts. I'm not asking you anything. The point of my comment is the hypocrisy of people, or actual confusion, on how one person can be an idiot who is laughed at by the rest of the world, at the same time be influential enough to 'give the green light' to anyone.

BTW. If people in other countries are waiting for the 'green light' from Trump on anything, that's on them.

A sure sign that Trumpkins are bankrupt in support of their leader is the now predictable fallback on Hillary or Obama or anything at all that can be dredged up from the past.

So JackA, are you supporting Democrat Julian Castro, a potential nominee for the President who claims Jarrod Kushner provided a "hit" to MBS?

Typically irrelevant comment, but no.

We're inching closer to Election Day and that means the Brownshirt Party is growing more and more whacker-doodles. It's to be expected. Just gotta laugh at the abject idiocy of the left.

You have no point. You have no indictments. You no prosecutions and zero convictions.

That is a whole lot of nothing. 9 hearings and investigations begot nothing.

So if your going to accuse people of wrong doing have proof. Proof in a court of law. We have a presumption of law in this country that one is innocent until proven guilty.

Use it.

More proof of how desperate they are to actually have a platform.

Tell us what Obama did that night. Prove me wrong. He is keeping his lips shut tight and flat out refuses to tell the American public what happened that night. Where is your outrage? Just pretend Trump did what he did, you leftists would be scaling the walls of the white house right now.

That is one serious mother of an accusation. These twerps better have some damn hard proof. Otherwise, they are opening themselves up to a world of legal hurt.
