This Daily Beast story is inaccurate. @PostOpinions has not forgotten Jamal. We devoted 4 minutes on our vodcast to MBS's role in Jamal's murder during Trump's Saudi visit. Our spokeswoman told the writer, but he refused to include it. Watch for yourself: https://t.co/xaIbDUDHiK
By "fading memory," he means 5 stories Tues mentioning Khashoggi, 4 just last month, a robust 7-year @wppressfreedom partnership established in his honor working with eight press freedom nonprofits... I could go on. This forced angle is wildly insulting. https://t.co/ALvSOhxbTT

2 classmates graduated law school in May. Both running for state office. One is challenging a fake elector. The other is a conservative election lawyer. They are 2 of the Gen Z candidates I spoke w/for this story exploring the next gen of political leaders
washingtonpost.com
