<p>Democrat President Joe Biden laughed on Friday when he was pressed during a press conference about him fist-bumping <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi</a> Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after Biden previously said that he wanted to treat Saudi Arabia as a &#8220;pariah&#8221; state.</p>
<p>Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-fearing-saudi-arabia-wont-penalize-mbs-after-he-promised-during-election-that-he-would-hold-saudi-leaders-accountable-reports">said</a> in 2019 that he wanted to “make [Saudi Arabia] pay the price and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are” after U.S. intelligence said in report that they assessed that MBS &#8220;approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re coming under a lot of fire for your fist bump with the crown prince,&#8221; a reporter said to Biden at a press conference.</p>
<p>Biden immediately started laughing.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just want to give you a chance to respond to that,&#8221; the reporter continued, &#8220;but also how can you be sure that another incident, another murder like Jamal Khashoggi, won&#8217;t happen again?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;God love you. What a silly question,&#8221; Biden answered. &#8220;How could I possibly be sure of any of that?&#8221;</p>

<p>A different reporter asked about a tweet from Khashoggi’s fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, in which she shared a mock up tweet of what Jamal would say if he was still alive.</p>
<p>&#8220;What Jamal Khashoggi would tweet today,&#8221; Cengiz wrote in a tweet that featured a screenshot of the mockup tweet, which stated: &#8220;Hey @POTUS, Is this the accountability you promised for my murder? The blood of MBS&#8217;s next victim is on your hands.&#8221;</p>

<p>“I’m sorry she feels that way,&#8221; Biden said in responded to the tweet.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was straightforward back then, I was straightforward today,&#8221; Biden claimed. &#8220;This is a meeting, what I, I didn’t come here to meet the crown prince. I came here to meet the GCC, the nine nations, to deal with the security and the needs of the free world, particularly the United States, and not leave a vacuum here, which was happening as it has in other parts of the world.&#8221;</p>

<p>The Washington Post slammed Biden Friday afternoon for the fist bump, calling it &#8220;shameful.&#8221;</p>
<p>“The fist bump between President Biden and Mohammed bin Salman was worse than a handshake– it was shameful,” The Washington Post Publisher and CEO Fred Ryan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/washington-post-issues-statement-about-biden-fist-bumping-saudi-crown-prince">said</a> in a statement. “It projected a level of intimacy and comfort that delivers to MBS the unwarranted redemption he has been desperately seeking.”</p>
