Win people back over is my guess, there will more people coming out with these 'revelations' and 'regrets' for the things they did. Those paying attention already knew this had happened, they are trying to appeal to everyone else. People don't seem to understand that they would do it all again. By now It's quite well established who is and isn't interested in being on the side of people. The mask dropped off so many and they won't be able to put it back on.
