He got fooled, an entire cabinet on people he didn’t really know but heard rave reviews of from “conservative” commentators. He knows them now and calls them out. Desanctimonius knows them and pays them as advisors. For him, it’s not that he misjudged their character, it’s that he supports those types of people. Much worst in my estimation
“He got fooled...”
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me a hundred times...?
