You're shooting blanks again.

Far from 'denouncing masonry' here's some sourced and verified Washington quotes proving he defended it - both during his Presidency (the 1st quote) and till just 1-year before his death (the 2nd)[LINK]:

"To enlarge the sphere of social happiness is worthy of the benevolent design of a Masonic institution; and it is most fervently to be wished, that the conduct of every member of the fraternity, as well as those publications, that discover the principles which actuate them, may tend to convince mankind that the grand object of Masonry is to promote the happiness of the human race."

George Washington (January 1793)

"So far as I am acquainted with the principles & Doctrines of Free Masonry, I conceive it to be founded in benevolence and to be exercised only for the good of mankind. If it has been a Cloak to promote improper or nefarious objects, it is a melancholly proof that in unworthy hands, the best institutions may be made use of to promote the worst designs."

George Washington (November 1798)

As for being murdered by a 'mason barber' as retribution for that supposed denouncement, here are 2 links to extensively researched and validated facts on Washington's death.

The 1st established that he was, at the time of his death, attended by 3 prominent doctors and the bleeding was done only at the direction of these doctors by not a "barber" but by Washington's own estate manager.

The 2nd is a medical analysis which establishes that those doctors, while obviously not able to treat him according to today's standard, did treat him to the best standards available at the time.

Save your foolish dithering.

Washington had to admit that masonry was false, and demanded a demit.

It cost him his life.
