It wasn't just Rubio and the Senate that decided bygones.
Official DC decided, for whatever reason ($$$), that a few weepy tributes to Khashoggi had taken it far enough, and it was time to return to hard-headed realism ($$$).With MBS’s arrival to DC, it’s worth remembering that 2 months after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a resolution—co-led by Rubio—calling on MBS to be held accountable for the jailing & torture of Saudi activists & the murder of Khashoggi.
