The Pensacola naval base shooting suspect was identified as member of the Saudi military. Mohammed Alshamrani was one of about 200 foreign nationals training on the base.

Police responded early Friday morning to an active shooter situation at Naval Air Station Pensacola after a shooter opened fire killing three and wounding several others.

Mohammed Alshamrani, according to authorities, was one of about 200 foreign nationals receiving training on the naval air base as part of a program in which U.S. allies send members of their armed forces there to study aviation. His participation in the program is part of a military practice that goes back decades, NAS Pensacola base commander Capt. Timothy Kinsella said during a press conference in the aftermath of the shooting

Well if 9/11 didn’t “inform” US-Saudi relations, I really don’t know what will.

We should not let them in our country

TheYoungTurks KyleKulinski jimmy_dore justicedems infowars HumanistReport _michaelbrooks hasanminhaj DNC Trump TheDemocrats SamSeder krystalball RealTimBlack boycottmsnbc BernieSanders RollingStone The government has been keeping this a secret for almost 50 years

Mostly saudis attacked your country on 9/11 but, hey, they're making some of you billionaires by buying your weapons.

If it was up to dems we would be at war with half the world right now. Thank God Hillary lost.

Didn't Democrats and the Fake News media say temporally banning people from Muslim countries is unacceptable. Didn't the Democrats file a lawsuit to stop President Trump from temporally banning people from Muslim countries?

So, is Spartacus calling out Muslim terrorism?

We must always remember the overwhelming majority of 9-11 terrorists were Saudis as was Bin Laden. Their Crown Prince had a journalist tortured and cut up, and we did nothing. They are the enemy.

Building enemies WILL NOT Keep America Great. Investigation is what happens First. No more Democrats contending Guilty Until Proven Innocent. That is not the American way & the Democrats & this media have to stop doing this Un-American act.

Trump Loves Dictators and Kings that have absolute and TOTAL Government Control. All American Psychiatrists need to Join in on Twitter and tell his Adoring SYCOPHANTS just how sick he is AND his Narcissism has led him to tell more than 14,000 Lies. Psychiatry Congress

The Navy base shooting perpetrated by a Saudi Muslim serviceman comes a week after trump pardons a Navy Seal and two other American soldiers for committing war crimes against Muslim soldiers. Why is no one pointing out the connection? MarkHertling MalcolmNance amjoyshow

'just financial interests' is so idiotic it further proves that CoryBooker is not only ignorant to geo politics, national interests and national security he is ill fit to run the country. Drop out, Booker.

Is there a bigger jagoff on the planet than Martini Matt? RepMattGaetz

WWCD

American soldiers are terrorizing the planet every day and he voted for them to do so

It (rightfully) only takes one Saudi shooter for you to condemn SA while there have been hundreds of violent crimes committed by Central/South Americans and not a word about those countries

Booker has done nothing for people living in Newark, NJ who do not have clean drinking water

Our allies are only our allies if Democrats say so. Got it 👍 If President Trump questions our allies because Five Eyes was weaponized to subvert American laws, all hell breaks loose. CorruptMedia

mattgaetz looks like someone who gave co-eds a hard time in college...

GOP doesn’t care cause the Saudi’s can get away with murder as long as they continue to payoff Trump and his family. We’ve got a corrupt AG so this could easily be investigated.

'Il y a un genre de chagrin particulier quand les Américains les plus courageux et les plus patriotes se mettent en danger pour former des gens d'autres pays ...et ensuite ils nous tuent.' Gaetz dit que tirer sur une base navale 'doit informer' les relations américano-saoudiennes

Why have him on? For what purpose?

Trumps guilty, heres why. FOX will not play this. ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC did. Trump lying about Rudy Ukraine .

So we can’t have Saudi’s kill Americans because we’re helping train them. Totally agree. Now let’s talk about Kurds

RepMattGaetz

abcCoverUp. Epsteindidntkillhimself 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈

We can’t have relations wh Cuba, but we are buddies with Saudi because they buy weapons from us.

Show the Saudi war in that Kentucky gun range

Fake facts

RepMattGaetz Matt Gaetz please don’t get ahead of yourself ! We love you but sometimes chill ! Yeah!?

RepMattGaetz GStephanopoulos george clintonopulous how was dinner at jeffrey’s townhouse? have you ever visited his island?

I think you triggered some liberals mattgaetz by reading these comments. Great job👍👍

How many more people have to die at the hands of the Saudi’s before we hold them responsible?

About Saudi Arabia: '... its enormous resources to harm American citizens and companies.'

US: Saudis recruited Twitter workers to spy on critics

Robotic, straight faced.... he's still a lying stooge.

Except your boss said they were sorry so go get a beer Matt, good job pretending to care.

Why?

You better talk to your BOSS realDonaldTrump who has STRONG ties to the Saudis and the record shows that hes willing to look the other way when his friends are involved,DID SOMEBODY SAY OIL Journalist MURDERED Saudi Embassy..REMEMBER THAT..Those who stand w him are COMPLICIT

ICYMI:

Why you even put him on ...we're not interested in an opinion of A man who does not have Principles!!!

Bloviating bozo says what....

Meanwhile:

Remember all the Republican BS about Benghazi? Their main complaint was that the Obama Admin. didn’t call it terrorism immediately. The hypocrisy is palpable.

ABC SCUM OF THE EARTH!!!

Why didn't he wait for the investigations

IKR 🤙🏻 'But, it was møstly accident, nø☭' 🖕🏻🇷🇺

We do news outlets let RepMattGaetz on screen? Comedic relief?

At least Matt didn't say it was because of a you tube video I guess that's the FBI job.. Still no updates

right message too bad its coming from the wrong hand puppet

As opposed to 9/11 and Yemen. Bampot.

Matt Gaetz has sold his soul to Trump and he doesn’t know what a hell he was talking about. I hope he will lost re-election

Saudis learning to fly planes in Florida ? Where have I heard of a terrible outcome to this exact scenario before?

ABC it was a TERRORIST ATTACK by jihadist-- some filmed it for recruitment on social media.

Looks pretty good, considering his Sunday morning hangover

He is not the ranking member you idiots.

LacyJohnsonMN

This practice, for whatever reason, cost someone their American life.

Ban all flight training. Anywhere. Because clearly flight training is to blame.

Why are these people still allowed in AMERICA All 9-11 hijackers came here under Clinton's watch. Yet we still allow train these people to fly. STOP LETTING THEM IN Vetting does no good with liars Train those who will fly against us How does that make sense?

Trump, after a Saudi kills Americans: 'I had a perfect call with King Salman, he is outraged at this and so are all Saudis, who love America by the way.' Trump, after Iranians shoot down a drone in their airspace: 'This will be the official end of Iran.'

It could have been much worse. They might have given him an airplane.

Case in point for, 'A President's conflicts of interest are a national security issue.' ~ waltshaub Khashoggi SaudiMoneyToKushner

And needs to end.

Nice

The correct question is how did he get a gun?

whyfund Do the Names, Donald Trump, and Jared Kushner sound familar? 🙄

And why are we selling them weapons?

Our military commonly trains allies in the states. Our allies just should not be the Saudis.

He was the one who missed the plane of the 911 terrorist! 4 jets hijacked had teams of 5 each except only 19 said Allahu Akbar! The one Saudi who missed the flight redeemed himself yesterday. Trumps favorite terrorist nation Saudi Arabia!

This mossad may b

Just ask Jared. He’s buddies with murderous Saudis.

Soros.

WTF

This is the closest ABC has come to actual journalism in decades. It's like watching a life support vegetable slowly emerge from a coma. Can you hear us? Blink twice if you're finally going to report on Epstein.

It's something SHADY going on with TraitorTrump & this SHOOTING by SAUDI MILITARY OP. One has to WONDER IF SAUDIS WERE EXPECTING a CERTAIN AMOUNT of US TROOPS to DEFEND THE KINGDOM From IRANIAN AGGRESSION? MAYBE Trump made a SHADY DEAL & DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH Cause IMPEACHMENT

are you that stupid? there's one reason he was there

They train the Saudi Military there to fly. They have since the 70's. you need to fire the idiot that posted this. Don't your social media journalists do their research?

America did not learn its lesson from 11 Sept 2001 for it has avoided dealing with the Saudis. Instead it attacked and invaded Iraq. And during the following time period, the Administration was primarily focused on Iran and why? Iran never bombed America nor hijacked planes 9/11

Why are Saudis on US military bases ?

ABC news asks twitter followers a question

Makes you WONDER if TraitorTrump made a SHADY DEAL with the SAUDIS, as it RELATES to SENDING a CERTAIN AMOUNT of TROOPS & FAILED to DRLIVER, due to UNFORSEEN SCRUTINY SURROUNDING IMPEACHMENT & the SAUDIS DECIDED to SEND realDonaldTrump a MESSAGE!

ANSWER: Because we are stupid ....

Something is very fishy here. Good question.

Don’t be coy. You know why rmthe Saudi National was there:

Disembe

We're just glad that he didn't have an airplane.

He was there in training. This has been going on for decades and you act surprised.
