'Loved' terrorists get thrown under Trump bus, are now seriously groveling for mercy

In other words, "My bad."

I guess that CEO-whose name is Brad Rukstales-is hoping he'll be given a mulligan for his role in the failed coup, much like the one Lindsey Graham wants to offer Trump. But no dice. A new administration is coming in just days, and the guy that insurgents like Rukstales were willing to throw away their lives for just called them "criminals."

That guy who invaded Nancy Pelosi's office, who wrote a note to her that read "Nancy, Bigo was here, you b*tch!"? Well, it turns out he was innocent in all this. He was just looking for the bathroom, see.

"I didn't do anything. I didn't breach the doors. I got shoved in. I didn't mean to be there. Hell. I was walking around looking for a bathroom.

We went to peacefully protest and that's what we were doing. They started it. Our own police started it."

Even people who didn't enter the Capitol building and are not facing any charges are now trying to apologize, because, it turns out, supporting the attempted overthrow of the government is bad for business. Donald Rouse, Sr. co-owns a Gulf Coast grocery store chain and apologized after he was identified in the crowd, launching the current boycott of his stores.

"I'm horrified by the violence and destruction we saw yesterday and the pain it has caused so many. Our country desperately needs to come together to heal, and I will do everything I can to be a part of that process."

Whoopsie daisy, Donald!

Rouse is retired, but he'd probably still have an easier time finding work than people who worked for Trump.

Expect many more people who stormed the Capitol to suddenly say they were "pushed" in or just looking for the bathroom, and that they are super-duper sorry about participating in that whole violent coup attempt thing.
