The phrase "to sanewash" means to present or interpret extreme, irrational, or problematic statements or behavior in a way that makes them appear reasonable, normal, or less serious than they are. The structure is a portmanteau of "sane" and "whitewash," implying the smoothing over of something unstable or extreme. It is informal internet and media criticism slang commonly used in political commentary to describe downplaying or normalizing clearly unreasonable positions.
