Christian morality: Leading evangelical Pat Robertson says “100 billion worth of arms sales” is more important than the life of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

According to reports, Khashoggi, a journalist working for The Washington Post and living in the United States, was tortured, murdered, and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, on Oct. 2.

However, in a callous disregard for human life, for human decency, and the rule of law, televangelist Pat Robertson, appearing on his Christian television show “The 700 Club,” said America’s relationship with Saudi Arabia is too important to risk over the assassination of a journalist working for The Washington Post.

Robertson said:

We’ve got to cool the rhetoric. Calls for sanctions and calls for punitive actions against the Saudis is ill-advised … You’ve got a hundred billion dollars worth of arms sales—which is, you know, that’s one of those things—but more than that, we’ve got to have some Arab allies. We have to have it! We cannot alienate a biggest player in the Middle East who is a bulwark against Iran.

When co-host Wendy Griffith questioned Robertson’s apparent willingness to accept the Saudi government k*****g journalists, Robertson replied:

We’ve had so many people k**led. We’ve had CIA people k**led in Lebanon. People have been taken hostage over the years. I know it’s bad, but we’ve had all kinds of stuff, but you don’t blow up an international alliance over one person. I mean, I’m sorry.

Robertson said:

We’ve got an arms deal that everybody wanted a piece of. It’ll be a lot of jobs, a lot of money come to our coffers. It’s not something you want to blow up willy-nilly.

As one might expect, many on Twitter were not sympathetic to Robertson’s position:

When it comes to k*****g, Has your family had an a******n ?

Khasgoggi was a Bin Laden buddy and actively worked to subvert Saudi royals. It was just a matter of time.

Just imagine how he could have helped us against Al Qaeda but didn't.

So is this your excuse for his execution? Well, at least you gave a reason, most of Trump's puppets can't even do that...

The guy had played this dangerous game for years and knew the risks. It doesn't fit with our "US" sensibilities but then you don't know just how far those "US" sensibilities have gone in past and present days. Nor do I think you or the restof you self righteous l*****ts want to know. It would ruin your sense of outrage and this is the season of outrage!

Do a little research jimmy boy. There's plenty of fiction and non-fiction out there. Being a CNN, MSNBC, NYT and WaPO reader you should be used to the fiction.
