Sen.-elect Mitt Romney is slamming President Donald Trump’s statements on a slain Saudi journalist, tweeting Tuesday that they are “inconsistent ... with American greatness.”
Earlier in the day, Trump had announced the U.S. would not be taking further action against Saudi Arabia for the killing of Jamal Kashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who was a vocal critic of the Saudi government. The CIA has concluded that the Saudi crown prince ordered the brutal murder.
In his tweet, Romney took aim at the way Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have reacted to the situation.
My thoughts on the President’s and Secretary of State’s statements on Khashoggi.
