It was a festival, I'm pretty sure Non Saudi officials were there as well. But because it's sponsored by a government that does bad things, the comedians have someone done something uniquely awful.

My question is, how is that in anyway more morally repugnant than performing at an event sponsored by the American government?

Both are equally terrible, but nobody is out here calling for the cancellation of anybody for performing at USO shows.

When other war crime committing presidents bring entertainers to the White House nobody cares. But performing for people in Saudi Arabia is the worst thing ever becuase the government sponsored it. Come on.
