Trump Jr. Boosts Smear Tying Missing Journalist Jamal Khashoggi to Islamic Terrorism

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump Jr. on Friday promoted a smear tying Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi to Osama bin Laden, retweeting a series of tweets meant to imply that the Saudi commentator, who has been missing since last week, supported Islamic terrorism.

With President Trump apparently reluctant to punish Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi’s alleged murder after he entered the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, conservative pundits have been straining to provide excuses for U.S. inaction.

Much of that effort has focused on claiming Khashoggi was a terrorist sympathizer, based on his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and career covering terrorist groups and leaders, including Bin Laden.

The latest attack on Khashoggi’s reputation started Friday with Patrick Poole, a terrorism correspondent for conservative website PJ Media. Poole ran images from a 1988 article Khashoggi wrote showing Khashoggi holding a rocket-propelled grenade with fighters in Afghanistan opposing the Soviet Union.

[dhol82]

1. This idiot belongs in the Max Prison

Such a dickhead.

[JI7]

2. the US was on the side of islamic extremists back then

becsuse both were fighting the Soviet union

[Trust Buster]

3. He is an ignorant idiot. Reagan supplied the mujahadeen with weapons and logistics in his

Proxy war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Bin Laden was a ranking member of the mujahadeen. Little Donny know nothing justifies this man’s murder for reporting on the story while Reagan and his minions offered DIRECT SUPPORT ?

[Kaleva]

4. What a dumb ass. The US overtly supported the mujahideen back then.

[salin]

5. Demonstrating that he, too, has no recognition of human dignity, no empathy.

The reporter it appears to be (even by the time he retweeted this) have been murdered, and then dismembered. These are the actions we associate with psycopathic murderers, and radicalized terrorists, and mob hits. To most of the population in the US - that does not have experience with any of those three types of people - this is horrifying.

But - the press is bad for Dad - so jump on any diversion - regardless of how disgusting it makes you look (because you cannot see how disgusting it makes you look.) Or perhaps because reacting (politically) might have an impact financially on the family business?

Despicable son of the despicable One - never passes up the chance to show his colors - and put his Dad and family in a bad light.

[Chickensoup]

6. I try to be polite, but with some people

one has to be fair. So TJ Fuck you.
You are just like your father, no heart
and no humanity.

[asiliveandbreathe]

7. Daddy really should tell jr. to STFU.....Daddy is in so much shit for this he

has no way out...Saudis have him in a box...labelled BRIBERY....Ari in for Lawrence - talking about this right now....

[JCMach1]

8. Talking point directly from Saudis

One of my former students, a journalist, was murdered by the Al Sissi regime in Egypt.

No tolerance for this BS

[Initech]

9. Fuck these fucking assholes.

Khashoggi definitely deserves better than this.

[Grassy Knoll]

10. Rex Grossman Has Some Advise For Limp Jr.

[Liberal In Texas]

11. Even if this fake story, lie, conspiracy theory or whatever you want to call it is true

Does this justify the brutal murder and dismemberment of a journalist (who might have sympathized with etc.) who was merely trying to obtain some documents that would allow him to marry his fiance?

[Marcuse]

12. What's a little dismemberment for kicks and giggles?

[Haggis for Breakfast]

13. He needs to be bitch-slapped in the face.

Repeatedly.

Every time I see that photo of him holding the elephant tail, I just remind myself that there is probably elephant poo all over it.

14. If the WH correspondents weren't so far up Trump's ass

They'd ask Trump about his son's attempt to smear a dead journalist.
