Mark Warner on Khashoggi: Trump Doesn’t Understand that Words Matter

EXCERPT:

WARNER: "We will be fully briefed on that heinous act. And it's pretty remarkable that to see the Saudi government continue to change -- and this is one of the areas where, again, I don't think Donald Trump understands that words matter, especially the words of an American president, I do not believe that a so-called ally like Saudi Arabia would have taken such a brazen act under a Reagan administration, or a Clinton administration, or a Bush administration, or Obama administration, because they would have been afraid that American protection of a free press and basic respect for human rights that they would get too much pushback. But because this president -- again whether it's Vladimir Putin or the Saudi leadership seems to kowtow it's -- it's pretty brazen where a country would send 15 killers/assassins/security people to commit this brutal crime, you know frankly inside a consulate in a foreign country. It's -- it's pretty remarkable."
