(22,920 posts)Granted, MAGAlonians are whining about the PGA and oil purchased from Saudis, seemingly without any awareness of the Trump-Kushner relationship with the Saudis. Granted, most of them are lifelong racist bigots but specifically regarding 9/11, does anyone know when they began to admit the Saudi connection?

(845 posts)I thought Id heard or read everything but this takes the cake!!! Heartless people will say and do anything. In his case it was for money. The very idea for the families to move on. It just keeps going from bad to worse.

(7,794 posts)Where the interview truly took a turn, however, was when Collins asked DeChambeau to speak about the criticism from 9/11 families and Saudi Arabia's human rights record as it relates to the new endeavor.
"Theyre accused of financing terrorism," Collins said. "Theyre also accused of killing Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi. How do you feel knowing that is where the money is backed by?"
DeChambeau's answer didn't exactly radiate confidence, and his attempt to distance himself from geopolitical issues quickly went sideways.
I mean look, its unfortunate what has happened but that is not something I can necessarily speak on because Im a golfer," he said. "What I can say is that, what theyre trying to do, what they're trying to work on is be better allies, because we are allies with them. Im not going to get into the politics of it, Im not specialized in it. But what I can say is theyre trying to do good for the world and showcase themselves in a light that hasnt been seen in a while. Nobody is perfect but were all trying to improve in life."
