"I guess it's welcome if overdue. Pardon me for being a little cynical about the mea culpa. Ari, this is someone who witnessed Trump stage and foment an insurrection at the Capitol and still went and campaigned for the man."
"So the idea that it's just dawned on him that this man's moral compass may not be pointing in the right direction... is like maybe a little bit late and maybe a little bit not as genuine as I wish it was."
