"It's this long; I'm not kidding" |
The White House has not revealed whether the presidential teleprompter will mention Jamal Khashoggi by name because it is difficult to pronounce for President Biden, and it's likely he will not know who Khashoggi was nor how to respond to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bone Sawman should the prince throw a question back at Joe.
Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi, said however, that Biden's handlers assured her that he would mention her dead husband within the first several paragraphs on the teleprompter but did not reveal exactly what President Biden will be told to mumble.
Biden will meet with the prince later this week after he meets with Israeli leaders. The widow Khashoggi met with White House handlers last week and she said that they assured her that her dead husband's name would come up.
"We’re not in the habit of previewing private discussions we have with other leaders before they happen, but President Biden took actions with respect to the Khashoggi murder right after coming into office," the White House told Fox News Digital on Thursday. "Then he took his presidential nap."
"The President’s views on human rights are clear and ever changing, depending on how it plays politically, and fundamental freedoms are always on the agenda when he travels abroad, just as they will be during this trip," it continued. "However, there will be no teleprompter input on the issue of women's rights because, hey, it's Saudi Arabia."
Khashoggi, you may recall, was murdered and cut into little pieces and put into a suitcase or two, during a visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Turkish officials claim he was murdered and dismembered by members of a Saudi team sent to Turkey expressly for that purpose.
Khashoggi was a U.S. resident and wrote for the Washington Post who, for years, was heavily critical of Prince bone Sawman.

When Biden first ascended from his basement, his handlers told him to promise to treat the Saudis as a "pariah state," but when gas prices skyrocketed, he dropped his pretense of caring about the prince's lack of decency where Khashoggi was concerned, and softened his stance regarding the prince's calling for the killing of the guy in response to a little bad press.

Former Saudi Arabian intelligence official Saad Aljabri [aka Sad Algebra] argues Biden was right to hold the regime at arm's length, however. Algebra also believes that he is on borrowed time due his his criticism of Sawman.
