GOP 'moderate' blasted Capitol riots — and cozied up to a Jan. 6 bus trip organizer
But that hasn’t stopped Fitzpatrick from maintaining a close relationship — personally and financially — with Worthington, a man who helped bus hundreds of people to Washingtonon Jan. 6. New reporting from Rolling Stone reveals how Worthington has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Fitzpatrick and committees that support him.
Like Fitzpatrick, Pompeo had spoken out against the January 6 attack, but their night with Worthington illustrates that GOP elected officials — including the self-styled moderates — are still embracing the people who backed Trump’s delusional and authoritarian refusal to concede the 2020 election.Jim Worthington/Facebook
When Worthington’s girlfriend, Kim Levins, informed him that the law was on their doorstep, he was lucky to have Fitzpatrick — “a friend” and a former special agent — on the line. “Brian, you’re an FBI guy, what should I do?” Worthington says he asked, adding, “They’re at my house.”Levins did not respond to a request for comment. In his radio interview, Worthington claimed she was armed when answering the door because of backlash he claimed they received for the January 6 bus trips.
