I'm convinced that the GOP is only just now disavowing Trumps actions because they believe that making him a pariah now will allow for them to close ranks around DeSantis for 2024. They couldn't care less about who Trump associates with; one only has to look at CPAC and the nutters, bigots, and outright dictators at that appeared their to see where their real beliefs lie.
