"... in spite of his repeated criticism of Islamic terrorism, Islam, and the expressed knowledge of Saudi Arabia as a terror-fueled and terrorist -supporting state, Pat Robertson has outright said that America should not anger the Saudis for fear of jeopardizing US weapons sales to Saudi Arabia according to a report:
“For those who are screaming blood for the Saudis — look, these people are key allies,” Robertson said. While he called the faith of the Wahabists — the hardline Islamist sect to which the Saudi Royal Family belongs — “obnoxious,” he urged viewers to remember that “we’ve got an arms deal that everybody wanted a piece of…it’ll be a lot of jobs, a lot of money come to our coffers. It’s not something you want to blow up willy-nilly.”
Robertson praised the approach of President Donald Trump, who has publicly cast doubt on the allegations against the Saudis, comparing them to those of sexual assault against Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh earlier this month. On Wednesday, after the New York Times reported that it had obtained audio of Khashoggi being tortured, murdered, and dismembered inside the consulate, Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak reported that Trump said that he had requested the recording, “if it exists,” later adding “I’m not sure that it exists.”
A day later, Robertson doubled down, reappearing on the network to dismiss calls for any form of reprisals against the Saudis as “ill-advised,” in part because of Saudi Arabia’s hardline stance against Iran, whom Robertson identified as a bigger threat.

Who cares?
What are we supposed to do?
Time for this old bigot to retire and shut his stupid mouth.
“Pat Robertson Supports The Jihad”
—
Yes, I’m sure he’s declared his allegiance to ISIS and Al Qaeda.
On a like note, I have some bridges to sell.
Not one journalist got this excited when the Jordanian pilot was put in a cage and lit on fire. They didn’t get this outraged when Daniel Pearl was beheaded.
I am highly suspicious of all this outrage coming from the left
I agree.
Shoebat made a living off his bs story, but not so much anymore. Now he’s upset at the “white evangelical” base that wised up to him. The truth about Saudi Arabia is that besides Israel, and who knows about Jordan, they are all that stand in the way of Iran.
The Saudis killed a Muslim Brotherhood journalist. Stalin killed how many millions before WWII?
See my tagline.
I love how all the Dinocons suddenly joining with the Left to be he internet propaganda bots for Iran and Russia
Especially odd that they are all wound up about what happened to a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist propagandist.
Isn’t it odd the media is going crazy to get whomever killed this journalist and not a peep from them to get the killer of our Ambassador Stevens.
It's not worthy severing ties over a terrorist-supporting journalist.
Well the pilot didn't maybe write something down that a vanity paper owned by a liberal billionaire may or may not have published.
That makes whatshisname special. A higher class of person then any of us lowly peons.
And he was buddy buddy with Osama and a member of the oldest middle east terror group that was funded by the USSR. That makes him extra special.
Stalin killed how many millions before WWII?
Nuke Mecca and be done with Islam once and for all.

Agree 100%
“Robertson praised the approach of President Donald Trump.”
So, Pat Robertson affirms President Trump’s position, that 1) we should wait for more information, and 2) we should not immediately seek to stop arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
Anyone who trashes what Pat Robertson said about this situation is trashing President Trump.
Pat Robertson is affirming Trump’s position. You think President Trump is an “old bigot”?
