A child who was sexually abused was told by church leaders to forgive her abuser and then forget it. If she spoke of it again, she would be guilty of having an unforgiving heart and the sins would become hers.

Jamal Khashoggi was a WaPo columnist when he was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul at the direction of the Saudi government. The entire world condemned it, except Trump. This wasn’t “things happen.” It was a state-sanctioned assassination for exercising free speech.
