Jared Kushner says his friend Mohammed bin Salman has made 'missteps' but is a 'good ally'

Jared Kushner's support for the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman remains unwavering.

The White House senior adviser in a new interview with Newsweek said that under the leadership Prince Mohammed, who's widely suspected of ordering the brutal killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi Arabia has made "missteps" but is still a "very good ally."

"There have been a couple of missteps," Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, said of the Saudis and Prince Mohammed (also known as MBS). "But they've been a very good ally," Kushner added.

Khashoggi, a Saudi national who came to the US and wrote columns for the Washington Post after being barred from reporting in his own country, was killed and dismembered by at the Turkish consulate in Istanbul in October 2018. He was often critical of the Saudi government in his reporting.

It is unbelievable how brazenly he just embraces that cold blooded killer when he knows we know exactly what he had done to Jamal Khashoggi.

that made it fucking real that Jared Kushner was interviewed by Newsweek about America's foreign policy with Saudi Arabia.

I don't know how much more my mind can take.

I know that there is no way Jared Kushner should be treated with any type of seriousness.

I know that Jared Kushner should not be involved in any way with foreign policy.

How long am I supposed to see something that is just so ilogical, and pretend that it's real?
