"I fully support our relationship with Egypt. It is a critical strategic relationship."

"The persecution and the prosecution of NGO workers is unacceptable. It was unacceptable under Morsi and it is unacceptable under President Sisi."

"But I firmly believe that our partnership with Egypt is vital to ensuring the security of this country."

"I am uncomfortable, though, with the suggestion that the way to move forward is to find the groups that have not been singled out and have not been prosecuted."
