Dick Durbin (D-IL) about Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s reported involvement in the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s statement in an interview on Fox & Friends that while the murder was a “tragic incident” that America doesn’t approve of, the Saudis are still “an important ally” of the United States.
Veteran columnist and Morning Joe regular Mike Barnicle poses this question to viewers: “Has this president so numbed us that we don’t react anymore to this epic weekend of a president of the United States being involved in directing a conspiracy, involved in felonious behavior, lying, to the destruction of institutions like the Justice Department and even the presidency? Has this constant repetitive behavior so numbed us to outrage that nothing is going to happen?” asks Barnicle during a conversation with former President George W. Bush aide Elise Jordan about President Donald Trump.

“This is an American moment. It’s not a tweet. It’s not a text. It’s not sky writing that’s going to disappear in the clouds as so many words on TV do. This is about one man: George Herbert Walker Bush, who at 18 years of age began serving his country and who served his country until the day he died. It’s about a man who valued and knew the meaning of the office he held, who had loyalty to the country and to the office far above himself. A man who made mistakes, but at the end of the day, his life and his personality—he, himself, was decent, courageous and of tremendous character. I would hope that the country remembers that long, long after we remember what is happening on an ongoing basis around Washington today,” says veteran columnist and MSNBC Morning Joe contributor Mike Barnicle as he memorializes former President George H.W. Bush, who died Friday at 94 years old.
