 Reporters on Monday grilled State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf on the government’s response to Saudi Arabia’s commencing of 1,000 lashes for blogger Raif Badawi, questioning why the US is not taking a more active role in trying to stop the brutal punishment. CNN’s Elise Labott repeatedly pressed the representative to clarify what, if any, actions are being taken to force the close US ally to change course, prompting Harf to respond that the State Department is “not in the business of demanding things” from other countries, and that she will have to get back to her with more information. |
