Harvey Milk was a Loose End in Jim Jones’ People’s Temple. Not everyone drank the Kool-Aide willingly.

Amidst growing pressure in the United States to investigate the Temple, on February 19, 1978, Harvey Milk wrote a letter of support for the Peoples Temple to President Jimmy Carter.[74][75][76] Therein, Milk wrote that Jones was known "as a man of the highest character."[76] Regarding the leader of those attempting to extricate relatives from Jonestown, Milk wrote he was "attempting to damage Rev. Jones reputation" with "apparent bold-faced lies."[76]

It's amazing how much Jones was courted by the political elites in CA and WA because he was a fellow Marxist.
