Libs already hate Arabs and Muslims so I would be surprised if any had anything positive to say about Saudi Arabia

You're assuming libs apply their racism consistently rather than in whatever way immediately suits their interests. "How can you accuse me of hating black people, I loved Obama!" -countless libs.

Libs like dunking on Saudi Arabia for doing the exact same thing their own countries do.

Could be that they're also against that sort of thing in their own countries

The US libs had a shit fit when their clowns performed in Riyadh for a comedy festival completely unaware that the US and GCC policy are completely aligned in nearly every way and that there is no difference between performing a show in Houston or Riyadh.

There is a difference, Riyadh has better mass transit and far fewer shootings.

I loved Dave Chappelle's response to it.

The only reason they care about Jamal Khashoggi and ignore the over 240 Palestinian journalists, other from racism and Zionism, is that he was a CIA recruiter and double agent. His uncle was a weapon smuggler with ties to Ghislaine Maxwell's father.
