Yet another brilliant example of the fundamental dishonesty of the modern political system.
These people are not able to defend their own positions, and sometimes, they don’t even pretend to be able to.
I mean, srslsy – why would you not have some answer prepared for this question? It’s like when you ask a Jew why Jews are allowed to have an ethnic state and whites are not – they stutter and them end up saying something about “muh Holocaust.”

This could be the most uncomfortable State Department press briefing moment yet.
During a press conference about US President Donald Trump’s recent trip to the Middle East, AFP journalist Dave Clark asked a department official why the US criticizes the Iranian elections and its record on democracy, but not Saudi Arabia.
“How do you characterize Saudi Arabia’s commitment to democracy, and does the administration believe that democracy is a buffer or a barrier against extremism?” Clark asked.
Stuart Jones, acting assistant secretary for Near Eastern Affairs, took a full 19-second pause before responding with a brief comment, saying that during this trip, the US made “significant progress with Saudi and GCC partners in both making a strong statement against extremism”.
“Clearly, one source of extremism, one terrorism threat, is coming from Iran, and that’s coming from a part of the Iranian apparatus that is not at all responsive to its electorate,” Jones added.
The entire modern political landscape can be summed up as: “trust us, goyim – we’re God’s chosen people.”
It was pretty awkward being there, especially as I wasn’t trying to embarrass Jones himself
