condoners
Those overlooking wrongdoing
People who condone—those who accept, overlook, or tacitly approve of something questionable or wrong.
The word carries disapproval: Condoners of corruption are as guilty as the perpetrators.
To be labeled a condoner suggests you've failed to object when you should have.
