"Well, the Saudi government and Trump administration addressed the regrettable killing of Jamal Khashoggi four years ago. What we have to realize, though, is that Saudi Arabia has been a partner for 80 years. Are they a perfect partner? No, but no one is. And if we only took perfect partners we would have no partners or allies. It’s a dangerous world out there. It’s not a church picnic. We take our allies where we can find them. Saudi Arabia, like so many other Arab nations, have been reliable allies against Iran which still to this day chants ‘Death to America,’" Cotton said.

He continued to criticize Biden as being uniquely unable to maintain a suitable relationship with Saudi Arabia.
