I figured I’d take a minute to offer my thoughts on Biden’s explanation of why he’s going to visit Saudi.

I appreciate that Biden seems to admit quickly that what happened to Jamal Khashoggi was really fucked up.

I released the intelligence community’s report on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, issued new sanctions, including on the Saudi Arabia’s Rapid Intervention Force involved in his killing, and issued 76 visa bans under a new rule barring entry into the United States for anyone found to be involved in harassing dissidents abroad. My administration has made clear that the United States will not tolerate extraterritorial threats and harassment against dissidents and activists by any government.
