It's very disheartening to hear that Trump made a promise to China to turn a blind eye on Hong Kong... in return for personal political favors.
America has never agreed to turned their back on atrocities... at least not in modern times. The Syrian people were left to fight alone. We allowed an American journalist to be murdered by Saudi Arabia without any ramifications. Now, Hong Kong is under attack. I have no doubt that there were conversations and agreements made on all of these situations... and it wasn't for the benefit of America or our allies.
This administration is unacceptable... and I'm a registered Republican (although that has never influenced my vote. I'm more of an independent.)

Khashoggi was not american, he was Saudi, he just lived in the US.
Marco Rubio, Pelosi, republicans and democrats have expressed bipartisan support for HK and the bill that is progressing through the congress and senate.

He was a US resident with 3 US citizen children and worked for a leading media agency in the United States. He was working to expose the atrocities of a dictator, who is ahead of the country with the worst civil rights record in history. Not to mention, the country that provided monetary support to the 9/11 suicide terrorists and their families.
Khashoggi was not violent and promoted civil rights and democracy. Yet, he was murdered by the Saudi Arabian regime. Trump not only did nothing. He wouldn't acknowledge it and was shaking Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's hand within weeks. Many prominent Republicans and Democrats spoke out about it and were furious.... just as they are now with Hong Kong. Hong Kong will get the same level of support.

Rockets may be forced into firing Morey to appease their strong Chinese fan base. Let's see which morality is compromised first (since we know commercialism will win out in the end anyway).
