This sounds an awful lot to me like someone who has decided to try and cover his/her ass and is now (anonymously, of course) letting the 'folks' know about how (s)he and his/her band of 'principled conservatives' like an awful lot of what the Sharter has done but are now smelling the stench of a possible Democratic taking the House of Representatives and an almost certain impeachment. So now come the protestations about how "we're really on your side, believe us. It wasn't our fault. See, we told you so in yhe New York Times in September of 2018". Color me dubious.
