Why do Democrats care more about Khashoggi than they did about Mollie Tibbetts?

[Darkwind]

The Liberal media and Democrats are calling for Saudi heads....they’re absolutely livid and outraged about this FOREIGNERS death which happened on FOREIGN soil.
Remember, the Tibbetts murder couldn’t be swept under the rug fast enough by the same groups. Weird huh?
I hope Republican politicians running for office are paying attention and adding shit like this to their campaign narratives.

Tibbets was a tragedy for a family.
Kashoggi is a tragedy for the nation.

WTF....haha, are you serious?
That’s the spin?
You sure you want to roll with that shit?

Freedom of the press is vital to a free country.

Yes, I know you don't really want a free country but the rest of us do.

Yeah, if the press isn't free to lie to us, are any of us truly free?

The media didn't sweep that under the rug! It was all over. And you folks helped it along quite a bit here, too.
Mollie's family already came out and said NOT to use her death as a political football; they have no animus against the Hispanic community OR illegals generally.
So if Republicans start using her the way Trump abused poor Kate Steinle, they will be making a big mistake.

....who cares if an ILLEGAL murders a WHITE American---we have to concentrate on foreigners

BINGO...that’s exactly the tone from Democrats. UnBeFuckinLievable!

Khashoggi’s murder and that of Mollie Tibbetts are two crimes one having nothing to do with the other – to attempt to compare the two is as dishonest as it is moronic.

Khashoggi’s murder was the consequence of a brutal regime acting to silence a critic.

Unlike Khashoggi, Tibbetts’ murder was not sanctioned by any government, it was a crime committed by a private individual representative of no one and nothing.

Indeed, studies show that undocumented immigrants are not predisposed to commit crimes:

Of course, you and other bigots on the hateful, ignorant right don’t care about facts or the truth, you’re nothing but demagogues and liars.

it sets a precedent for future actions if nothing is done. Kashoggi was a legal US resident who's children are US citizens. He was a dissudent and a journalist. As a nation we have typically opposed killing and jailing political dissidents and imposed sanctions, or ither actions. Now, under the Trump regime, we instead smear the victim and reward the agresser.

If President Trump abdicated in favor of the liberals this morning, no one would care about Khashoggi on Monday.

This is all about trying to embarrass the President, not because any liberal gives a shit about this character one way or another.

You didn't hear anything about the Norks and US resident and citizen Otto Warmbier during the Obama Regime. Obama didn't care less, and figured it was Un's business.

If Trump abdicated to liberals, we would not be running interference for the Saudi Royal Family and making excuses for torture and murder

We would also not be running a smear campaign against the victim

Actually, this whole story would be forgotten instantly if Donaldus left the scene. We didn't hear about anything bad about the Saudis when Obama was prostating himself to the Saudi monarch, kissing his feet. There wouldn't have been a story here at all, if Trump wasn't around to smear.

What atrocities did the Saudis commit while the Great Obama was President?

Plenty of atrocities, as documented in wikipedia- and Obama did not cut off relations with them. In fact, little was said about it by the media.

The idea here isn't what happened to Khashoggi, the libs could care less. But instead its about trying to make President Trump look bad.

Mollie Tibbets was not targeted for murder because she criticized someone in power

Okay, I think I’m getting it now...so it’s not the life lost that has you concerned? It’s a bunch of weird trivial shit surrounding the murder that has you super spun up?

No, we are concerned with justice

In Mollie Tibbets case, the murderer was caught and Justice was served.

In Khashoggis situation, it does not appear to be the case

Enforcing justice in Saudi Arabia is not the proper function of our government, shit for brains.

Nobody says it is

But deciding who we trade with is a function of government

So should we cut off all trade with Mexico because Americans are murdered there almost on a daily basis? Honduras? Guatemala? El Salvador? Brazil? Venezuela?

Mollie Tibbets was not targeted for murder because she criticized someone in power

Mollie Tibbets was the victim of a crime. Thousands of Americans are murdered every year, most dont even recieve a mention. Against her families wishes, the right politicized her case to fuel their anti-immigrant crusade. They dont care about her murder. To them she is a political rallying point.

Agree
The outrage has subsided because the man who did it will face justice
Republicans have used her murder to generate fear and hatred against illegal immigrants

Wrong. The outrage hasn't subsided, as many posts in this forum demonstrate. However, the sleazy lying fake news media stopped talking about it almost immediately because that served the Democrat immigration agenda.

Obama made excuses for Saudi torture and murder for 8 years. Clinton did the same.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The death of Mollie Tibbets is a necessary component of the left's population replacement scheme. Khashoggi is an excuse to jump up and down and howl.

It’s interesting and telling the propensity of Republican presidents to run interference for the Saudi Royal Family – GWB after 9/11, Trump with the Khashoggi murder.

Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a free press.

What are you talking about?

You are trying to characterize this situation as though Trump had an American journalist murdered on American soil.

Just stop it.

This is a Saudi National who supported Bin Ladin and fell out of favor with the Saudi Royal family. Shit happens in Islamic Theocracies.

You are dealing in emotion rather than facts,

Conservatives mount a whisper campaign smearing Khashoggi in defense of Trump

So he wasn’t a friend of Bin Ladins and he didn’t cry when Bin Ladin died and he wasn’t close to the Saudi Royal family?

Amazing.

He was a friend of Bin Kaden when Bin Ladin was fighting the Soviets. We were friends with Bin Ladin then too. Remember that...?

Like I said you guys are digging up everything you can in an effort to discredit Kashoggi and justify his murder in order to protect the Trump family.

We had no relationship with bin Laden, ever.

Your thread is a failed attempt to deflect from the fact that the Khashoggi murder was yet another Trump foreign policy debacle, exposing Trump’s disdain for journalists and their safety, and the right’s indifference toward the war on journalists.

That you would so exploit Mollie Tibbetts' death is another manifestation of the reprehensible right.

Says the douchebag who is desperately trying to exploit the Khashoggi death.

Who cares......for a thousand, Alex.

The OP cares
He asked why there is not the same level of outrage over Mollie Tibbets

People get outraged over abuse of power by a government. When it includes kidnap, torture and murder......it becomes international news

The murderer of Mollie Tibbets was captured and will face decades in prison

It looks like those who ordered the killing of Khashoggi will get off Scott free......hence the outrage

Those that ordered it are most likely in Riyhad, please make all inquiries and protests there.
I am sure they will promptly deal with your outrage.

Which is what we want done

Make Riyhad pay for its abuses

Again....wrong. The left never cared about the abuses at benghazi. Faux outrage.....noted and then laughed at.

Actually it was Republicans who diverted attention away from a terrorist attack on our embassy into a political witch hunt that lasted for years

It was all the fault of that grainy video.....well, at least thats the lie the libs were pushing.

No worries, the murderers got away with killing four US citizens in benghazi. Again, the lefts unrighteous indignation falls on deaf ears.

Libyan militia leader gets 22-year sentence in Benghazi attacks that killed ...

Accused Benghazi ringleader convicted on terrorism charges in 2012 attacks that killed U.S. ambassador

He wasnt convicted of their murders.

Becsuse he did not personally do them. He was however convicted in OUR courts for his role. And that is good dont you think? Or are you going to split hairs?

Of course, but thats as far as it went.

 

[my2¢]

The OP presents a false premise. There was quite a bit of interest in Molly Tibbets during her disappearance up until that disappearance was resolved. We know what awaits the perpetrator of her murder. There yet are many unknown issues about the journalist's death. The story presented by the Saudis seems far fetched, where is the body, what is a proper response by the Turks and Americans?
