David Sacks—Said Trump 'disqualified himself' after Jan 6 Capitol riot, called it 'disaster' with Trump 'clearly' responsible
On the All-In Podcast immediately after January 6, 2021, Sacks said Trump had 'disqualified himself from being a candidate at a national level again.' He described Jan 6 as a 'disaster' and when asked if Trump was responsible, said 'One hundred percent yes.' This position represented a clear break from Trump, whom Sacks would later fully endorse in 2024 after political evolution from moderate (donated to Hillary Clinton 2016, Gavin Newsom 2018) to MAGA supporter.
