1. It's unrealistic for people to think we can just ignore Saudi Arabia

No President can. The fist bump got more attention than any good that came of these meetings. Why.. don’t know perhaps if they shook hands peoples head would explode.

2. So you are supportive of a brutal regime and it's all good? Ask the people of Yemen how they feel.

Or those executed regularly by the House of Saud. Should have stuck with the pariah label. That is much more accurate.

5. No I'm not supportive of brutal regimes. Being realistic on having contact with

That country. I don’t appreciate your comment.

3. The news has become so Petty

It is impossible to watch. The idiocy of ranting about a fist bump. What was Biden supposed to do, sock him in the jaw?

The ignorance of the press is pathetic. They never ask a question about things that are taking place.

I am reminded of this when I hear them.

7. That was hilarious!

I'm surprised that it didn't get more coverage at the time. First I'm seeing it.

4. 'He decided to face the blowback anyway, hoping to use the visit to repair strained ties

and make clear to wary Arab leaders that the United States remains committed to their security and the region’s stability.'

6. Making an issue of the fist bump is stupid!

How would it have been perceived if he had shaken hands or bowed to him?
