Chris Wallace interviewed Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Fox News Sunday on the Saudi government and whether President Donald Trump is covering for them in the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
After calling the Saudi explanation of events “insulting” to anyone with an “intelligent background”, and saying that it “stretches credulity”, and there’s “no way” it’s what happened, when confronted with Trump calling their account credible, Paul became elusive.
Wallace first outlined the Saudi account of events in brief and then asked Sen. Paul if he believes the account.
“Absolutely not, I think it’s insulting to anyone who is analyzing this with any kind of intelligent background,” said Paul, and then he listed a series of negative observations about Saudi Arabia, including being the largest “state sponsor of radical Islam,” saying that it’s just the latest in a long line of offenses against the civilized word.
