I mean, people have been pointing this "hypocrisy" out for a while now, at least enough that if you have any kind of contact outside the Democrat bubble you would have noticed that the DNC itself was bankrolling these candidates that they now claim are fascists and whose election will spell the end of democracy as they know it. NPR hasn't suddenly found its religion, its humanity, or its integrity, so this piece was published as a way to explain away this apparent paradox that Democrats were supporting "literal fascists" (how I love that phrase).
I think they should have listened to that old quote, variously attributed: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Exactly. How did nobody in the entire org pipe up with "Won't the public find out we bankrolled these guys?"
Or maybe somebody did and they went ahead with it anyway. A bad plan is better than no plan!
