Let’s talk about, if we’re going to talk about character, what it means to have Donald Trump’s back,” Senator Warrent said. “It means, of course, being the vote to roll back health care for tens of millions of Americans. It means a trillion-and-a-half-dollar tax giveaway, and paid for, the Republicans say, by cutting Social Security and Medicare. It means standing by Donald Trump when he calls white supremacists in Charlottesville ‘fine people.'”Shifting to foreign policy, Keller asked the two candidates about the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi Arabian embassy in Turkey. Warren called Khashoggi’s death an “attack on democracy” by the Saudi Arabian government and questioned why Trump hadn’t forcefully condemned their actions, suggesting that the president’s business dealings with the country were a conflict of interest.Diehl agreed that it was important to protect the freedom of the press around the world, but noted that Saudi Arabia has been an important regional ally in the Middle East and that there were businesses in Massachusetts, like Raytheon and General Dynamics, that benefit from defense contracts with the country.WBZ
