“The fact that they have gotten off the sycophant train and are saying, ‘We trusted the wrong person, we are sorry for that, and we need all of you to wake up to the fact that you also trusted the wrong person,’ I think is an important thing for us to put our arms around,”

I can’t find the remainder or the setup in a short time, but the reader here can decide whether “put our arms around” means embrace supporting anything other than their rebuke of Trump as president.
