The disaster that calls himself president of the United States was stirring up more trouble when he went begging for oil.
After the 2018 murder of Khashoggi, Biden was asked If he was president, what would Biden do? Would he punish the Saudi leaders?
“Yes. And I said at the time, Khashoggi was in fact murdered and dismembered, and I believe on the order of the crown prince [Mohammed bin Salman],” he said with no small steel to his voice.
“I would make it very clear, we were not going to sell more weapons to them. We are going to make them pay the price, and make them in fact, the pariah that they are.”
He said Saudi Arabia was killing children in its bombing campaign in Yemen, and added: “There’s very little socially redeeming value in the present government in Saudi Arabia.”

"The Saudi Foreign Minister said he didn’t hear you accuse the Crown Prince of Khashoggi's murder. Is he telling the truth?" the reporter asked.
"No," Biden swiftly said, before brushing off another reporter who asked about the fist-bump fiasco.
