1/ A lot of DC groups where were ass-deep in the January 6th violent insurrection suddenly want to whitewash their role in funding and supporting it, and the people who made it happen.

2/ ...but the operative word is *publicly*. They were all in, proud as peacocks until they got caught. I'm not talking about people like Trumpjugend Gauleiter Charlie Kirk or the Stop the Steal mooks. They're just the scuzzy demimonde of Trump world.
