Not quite. They wanted him to bash the left, particularly people were pushing hard for reducing police funding. (A black pro-police figure was very useful.) Once real police reform was dead (by mid 2022), they didn't need him. And once he started bashing Biden on immigration, he was cut off.

Just because I hear this a lot, do those people really mean they oppose/are wary of "partisan politics?" In America today, politics happens through the parties so being non-partisan often means you are ineffective. But when hear "I hate politics," I don't think people mean MLK.
"It is not the distance between these two candidates that we should worry about, but the radically undemocratic goal that one candidate is coalescing his party around. It is hard to see how American democracy can benefit from finding the so-called middle ground between these two positions."
