Seriously... why haven't the Republican candidates said a word about the Saudi rape victim?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

They are all running on "Arabs are animals" and "Islam is a satanically inspired cult."

One might think that when the nation that brought us the 9/11 hijackers and the religion of Islam combine to do something utterly shocking to western sensibilities, it ought to be a free shot.

(The idea that they don't want to complicate US relations with Saudi Arabia would make more sense if they were ever responsible on any other topic.)

I am left to conclude that the Republican base will not tolerate any condemnation of torture of women, in any context.

They are just the Taliban.
