On Tuesday's broadcast of CNN's "New Day," Senate Majority Whip Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) stated that even though there are a "litany" of bad actions by the "terrible regime" of Saudi Arabia, and "It wasn't worth anything" he is "glad" President Joe Biden "tried" by doing "a little fist bump" with Saudi leaders in an attempt "to help the United States and help us battle through this inflation." Durbin also stated that Saudi Arabia isn't a trustworthy ally and is aligned with Russia, not the U.S.
