Outrage erupts as GOP senator blocks Armenian Genocide bill at Trump’s behest.

According to a report from Axios this Thursday, Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) was directed by the White House to block a resolution formally recognizing Turkey’s genocide of the Armenian people.
Cramer’s move marks the third time the Trump administration has directed a GOP senator to block the resolution.

The move was met with widespread condemnation, some of which came from former GOP state Rep. Cole Wist (CO), who accused the White House of attempting to “whitewash history.”

“The fact that the Trump White House would go to these extreme lengths to prop up a brutal dictator and whitewash history is an outrageous moral failure,” Wist tweeted.
“I am not sure how this bunch sleeps at night. What an embarrassing episode for America.”

Haley Byrd, Cramer said that he “doesn’t plan to object [to the proposal] again and predicts it will pass.”

Why it matters: This is the third time that the White House has directed a Republican senator to block the resolution, a symbolic measure already passed by the House that would infuriate Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Cramer said on the Senate floor that he doesn't think this is "the right time" to pass the resolution, noting that President Trump has just returned from meeting with Erdoğan at the NATO summit in London, and that the resolution could undermine the administration's diplomatic efforts.

Trump doesn't have any diplomatic efforts.
He sucks up to dictators because he's weak and fears them..
He needs the dictators to 'like' him so they won't run him over.
trump won't rock their boats..
