can we get an actual quote of these sources supposedly saying he's a good guy? or are we supposed to just believe it cause someone photoshopped a speech bubble on a bunch of logos?

The rehabilitation of wealthy and powerful people with a disgusting past happens, not with fanfares and explicit exposition, but with gradual normalisation.

They are given platforms on respected media. Their opinion is sought on the current bête noire. They are given all this oxygen without ever having to account for their sins. All they have to do is play nice and rigidly follow the establishment consensus. Soon enough, once a commensurate (to the sins) amount of news cycles passes they'll be dignitaries again.

No source on the quotes about him being a good guy, but I assume this is in response to the story that he's planning to vote for Harris, according to his daughter.
