ABC's Mary Bruce was the only White House reporter with the courage to ask what other reporters were afraid to ask, to call out Trump's red-carpet welcome of Saudi king Muhammad bin Salman, aka Mr. Bone Saw.
Muhammad bin Salman had the US journalist Jamal Khashoggi dismembered alive with a bone saw to punish him for revealing Jared Kushner's dirty dealings (The Saudis poured $2 billion into his business.) Khashoggi was documenting how Kushner turned over classified information to Muhammad bin Salman, who used it to hunt down, arrest, and murder his opponents.
"When [Mary Bruce] asked about the assassination... Trump dismissively said that ‘things happen’ and that Khashoggi was an ‘extremely controversial’ man who a ‘lot of people didn't like’” (Washington Post).
Trump
reviled the reporter who deserves utmost respect for doing real journalism.
