How can anyone support such petty, hateful, people? I just don't get it.

They are hateful and petty people themselves.

The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling at a protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death One helped oversee investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Another served as acting director in the early days of the Trump administration and resisted Justice Department demands to supply the names of agents who investigated Jan. 6. A third was incorrectly rumored on social media to have participated in the investigation into Trump’s retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. A lawsuit filed last week by three of the fired agents alleged that Patel understood the firings were “likely illegal” but had to carry them out because he was ordered to do so by the White House. Patel has denied taking orders from the White House on whom to fire and has said anyone who has been fired failed to meet bureau standards.
