I don't know how many of them, but at least a few of them have been there -- apparently for reasons similar to what pmb said. They want to appear to be disinterested (and avoid retribution from the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and other far-right wing nuts), but still do their jobs.

- Having been in similar positions before, I don't blame the ones avoiding an angry mob to try to do their jobs. - ReluctantCynic Feb 10, 15:56
33 R Sens in the closet! -- nm - Twits Feb 10, 15:47
