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.

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.
