Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) let it rip Wednesday afternoon, firing off an uncensored tweet at President Donald Trump about his reluctance to meaningfully punish Saudi Arabia for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
Hey @realdonaldtrump: being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “America First.”

Yes!!!
Love it.
Rep. Gabbard probably won’t be getting an invitation for Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
Probably doesn’t want one.
I hear the rumblings of orange volcano in the distance…
Now don’t go mincing words, OK, Rep. Gabbard?! Don’t you pull your punches.
Bravo to Rep. Gabbard for having the courage to state the obvious. I am not being snarky here.
One of the most striking things about yesterday’s unhinged White House statement on Saudi Arabia is how weak it makes us look. Even if Kashoggi’s murder was ordered at the highest levels, we can’t do anything about it, because we need the Saudis for all kinds of things. (Or so the Trump Treason Administration argues.)
That’s not making America great. It’s making us into a goddamned vassal.
Quite an accomplishment, considering the vast power disparity between the USA and the KSA by any reasonable objective measure.
(Edited to add clarification that I don’t think we’re helpless; just those jackasses in the White House seem to.)
Saudi Arabia’s bitch or Putin’s cockholster?
It should be noted that these are not mutually exclusive…
