President Joe Biden’s consistent defenders on The View clashed on Monday over the president’s meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, with co-host Sunny Hostin bashing the notorious fist bump and Joy Behar justifying Biden’s actions.
Biden’s decision to meet with MBS during his recent Middle East trip had already sparked controversy, mainly because of his campaign promise to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” state over bin Salman’s role in assassinating journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. The president’s greeting with the smirking crown prince prompted outrage from critics who felt Biden was giving Khashoggi’s killer a pass.
“Hey @POTUS, Is this the accountability you promised for my murder?” Khashoggi’s fiancée Hatice Cengiz tweeted, alongside a caption from her late partner’s Twitter account: “The blood of MBS’s next victim is on your hands.”
