There is no doubt Saudi Arabia is doing terrible things, but they were the United States ally in the first Gulf War and World War 2 and the Saudis are helping us now by keeping Iran in check.
In the choice between bad (Saudi Arabia) and worse (Iran), a rational person/country will choose bad just to avoid worse.

Thanks for the laughs here.
America helped fund the coup that shifted Iran from a liberal country that it was to what it is now. All cos of oil. It's because of America that they're the totalitarian state it is now.
Along with that Saudi Arabia's human rights record is consistently considered one of the worst countries. They're no better than Iran and you're a fool if you think Saudi Arabia is just "bad". And don't forget their acceptance of jihadists and that the perpetrators of 9/11 were from there.
