Seriously, I know those people were chosen for their "loyalty" (i.e., willingness to put up with any awful thing Trump did), but quite a few seem to have had their limits when put to the test. I think that's why so many people quit on him when they realized what they had signed up for.
None of us can judge how convincing Hicks' crying on the stand was, because we didn't witness it ourselves. But people can and do have what's called a change of heart. It's a real thing.

It's the motivation for that change of heart that's questionable to me. ❤️
