One last time: don't try to justify this by claiming everything changed because of Ukraine. Biden refused to sanction MbS in Feb, 2021. He ordered a major arms sale to Saudis in Oct, 2021. And there's no argument that buying Saudi oil now is more moral than buying it elsewhere. https://t.co/YeHRCkVeFz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

So often, this was the core fraud of Trump-era media discourse. They depicted acts all presidents have done (meeting with Egypt's dictator, ignoring atrocities by allies, hugging despots), and pretended Trump pioneered it, a singular monster among noble Presidents. My favorite: https://t.co/y15Cp51wnl — PolitiTweet.org

Next up: @iamjohnoliver (Trump shows "arms deals are more important than a butchered journalist!"), @jimsciutto (same), NYT Editors (Trump *destroys US values, embraces Saudi values*); CNN WH reporter @StCollinson (Trump announced: you can murder if you have oil and money!). https://t.co/5nWozmZp9M — PolitiTweet.org

More righteous disgust and moral indignation -- how could someone be so monstrous as to partner with **the Saudis** as Trump is doing? -- courtesy of @DanRather, @robreiner, Publisher of @washingtonpost (who employed Khashoggi), and @CharlesMBlow. Smell the moral righteousness: https://t.co/6wX9OMInRq — PolitiTweet.org

The rage over Trump's refusal to sever ties with the Saudis -- despite Khashoggi's murder and their destruction of Yemen (with US and UK weapons) -- intensifies with @VP Kamala Harris (now herself selling arms to the Saudis!), @RichardEngel, @KenRoth, and @StephenKing.🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/03LUDeijD8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Next up: the fiery rage, fury and indignation of Sen. @timkaine, @ananavarro, @Lawrence, and @carlbildt. Just read this. Try to imagine these fraudulent hacks uttering even a tiny fraction of moral rage toward Biden for doing the same exact thing (which Obama and Bush also did): https://t.co/mhKm24kg3A — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As Biden sells arms to the Saudis and prepares to meet MbS, join me in looking at some specific examples of what was said -- and how it was said -- about Trump doing the same. To start: @JohnBrennan, the NYT, @Acosta, and @Acosta again: https://t.co/rBoFqmijZJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's really worth looking at what specific DC elites said after Trump announced he'd continue to embrace Saudi despite Khashoggi and Yemen. You'd never hear such bile now toward Biden. They invented a fake narrative: Trump was a singular monster: for upholding US tradition. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's amazing to look to 2018, to see how the entire DC political and media class reacted *with revulsion* when Trump did *exactly* what Biden is now doing: ignoring the Khashoggi murder and destruction of Yemen because of the benefits to US. Here's the summary of what they did: https://t.co/p26Bv3OvLi — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The excuse from Biden officials for why Biden began embracing and coddling the Saudis from the start is *exactly* the same as Trump's rationale: Yes, it's bad Khashoggi was murdered and they starve Yemenis, but the benefits we get from this partnership are too great to stop. https://t.co/uVsSeSgsfF — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

After Biden campaigned on a vow to not sell arms to the Saudis and turn them into "pariahs," the first thing he did as President was refuse to sanction bin Salman for his role in Khashoggi's murder. In Oct - way before Russia's invasion -- Biden approved major arms sales. Now: https://t.co/V3IJMlYdUB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Cernovich The US/Saudi partnership has been the staple of US foreign policy since WW2. But when Trump announced he'd continued it -- just like when he welcomed US ally Gen. Sisi to the WH -- the media class acted like it was the first time ever a US President ever embraced a despot.😂 https://t.co/x8hJrEWBfa — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's Biden, as President, on what he actually did to the Saudis and the US/Saudi partnership: Pretty much everything he said in that above video was a flat-out lie. He sold weapons to them. He refused to sanction MbS. Now he's visiting on his knees, heralding the partnership. https://t.co/oeP9dCNdUz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

WATCH: Biden, 2020 campaign, on what he vowed he would do -- if elected President -- to the Saudis and the US/Saudi partnership as punishment for murdering Jamal Khashoggi and slaughtering Yemeni children. https://t.co/CiP4qqRIBP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tergives Yes, Biden and Harris both vehemently condemned Trump for refusing to sever ties with the Saudis.😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In 2018, Trump said: yeah, sure, it's terrible that Khashoggi was killed, but our close partnership with the Saudis is too valuable to sever that relationship. That caused hysteria in the pundit class. This is *exactly* what Biden is now saying to justify the same decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The excuses Biden officials are making - for why Biden vowed during the campaign to turn Saudis into "pariahs", only to now embrace them - is the same rationale Trump offered for the same decision (which caused pundits to declare the Death of US Values): https://t.co/P7PNXZqtW5 — PolitiTweet.org

After reading Robert Reich's gushing essay insisting Liz Cheney should be president and comparing her to Paul Wellstone, and now seeing this, I'm starting to get concerned about the bizarre parasocial love liberal men are nurturing for Liz Cheney:😬 https://t.co/S7t4WXhjkF — PolitiTweet.org

@arquivoxandy Não sei se vc acompanha as notícias, mas David saiu recentemente do PSOL para o PDT, recusando-se a endossar Lula, com base em muitas dessas mesmas críticas das piores partes da esquerda: como impedem o que ele entrou na política fazer: obter resultados para melhorar vidas. — PolitiTweet.org

@robcrowe00 I've never heard anyone call Ryan Grim, the one who reported this story, a libertarian before, and I don't really see where he's exiled from. He's often on many YouTube programs and interviewed on popular podcasts. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Everyone got a small glimpse of this extreme dysfunction by watching the complete multi-pronged narcissistic meltdown at the WashPost these last two weeks. Left-wing campaigns and activist groups now virtually always end up imploding internally this way: https://t.co/0nCBaf3UpZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As Grim notes, left-wing culture is dominated by the need for to claim some form of victimhood. They all end up destroying each other. The directors of these groups spend no time on their claimed mission, always baby-sitting employee spats, recriminations and "call-outs." ✊ https://t.co/6TE2x7rizN — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Read this deeply reported @RyanGrim article on how most national progressive groups have become utterly paralyzed and dysfunctional due to endless internal strife. Most resources now go to bitter internal accusations that everyone is unfair and toxic: https://t.co/xBLLmAdhcz — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@inextension Snowden came forward voluntarily. He insisted from the start he didn't want to hide but instead identify himself as the source because he was proud of what he did and wanted to explain why. That's because he's brave and principled. That has nothing to do with these Dem lies. — PolitiTweet.org

@NewDealUSA I've made clear what parts of her work I find objectionable and excessive. You can listen to it here. That doesn't mean I favor having death threats sent to her or major newspapers digging into her life: https://t.co/Tqyryl7S3R — PolitiTweet.org

@NewDealUSA Are you the one who sent her the pipe bomb? If not, how much love and respect do you have for the person who did? — PolitiTweet.org

@TheReceipts4 Who shot Steve Scalise, and who just got arrested outside of Brett Kavanaugh's home trying to kill him to prevent his votes on Roe and gun control? Who sends death threats every day to this previously anonymous account? — PolitiTweet.org
