The hosts of the All In Podcast, at least two of whom are supportive of and have raised money for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, savaged the former president in the wake of the January 6 Capitol riot back in 2021.
Co-hosts David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya have not only thrown their weight behind Trump, but threw a fundraiser for him this summer.
But as The Bulwark’s Tim Miller notes, the pair, as well as their other two co-hosts, Jason Calacanis and David Friedberg, were scathing in their assessment of Trump after January 6.
In an installment of their show released on January 8, 2021, Sacks stated that he believed that Trump was “clearly” responsible for the storming of the Capitol because “he is the one who put forth this theory that the election was stolen and was constantly repeating it for the last two months” and had “disqualified himself from being a candidate at a national level.”
Asked about the potential for legal consequences for Trump, Sacks said that “If you want to see this mob as a gun, I think he loaded the gun. He pointed it in a certain direction, but did he tell them to storm the Capitol? No, not specifically. I think therefore it’d be a very hard case to prosecute, but I think, you know, prosecuting him in a court of law is sort of unnecessary and redundant. I mean, I think that in the eyes of the public, politically, he is — I think most see that he’s culpable.”
Palihapitiya, meanwhile, said that Trump “is a complete piece-of-shit fucking scumbag” who had “perverted” many Americans’ patriotism.
He also said that he “would rather take every single person arrested” during the riot “and give them zero days in jail and add it all up and give it to Trump.”
“When Black athletes peacefully protested something that they had the fundamental constitutional right to protest, in the president’s eyes they were sons of bitches. White people that stormed the fucking Capitol, the people’s house, were called patriots by the president’s daughter and then were told that they were loved by the president himself.” fumed Palihapitiya.
Sacks was given a speaking slot at the Republican National Convention earlier this summer, where he delivered a widely-panned speech focused largely on arguing against the provision of more U.S. aid to Ukraine.
