I suspect that Jimmy K was flipped, simply because his denials were so over the top, so close to being proved wrong.

That, combined with him bowing before the black dude (forgot his name) to celebrate black lives matter in such utter self deprecation and humiliation, makes me think that WH forced him to do both of these things to focus the media spotlight on the hypocrisy.

I don't have a vested interest, and I could be wrong, but just putting it out there. Also if he flipped, whether he did it willingly or unwillingly is still a good question.
