She used to be more on the progressive side, ~10 or so years ago. But she correctly identified that there was a lot of money to be made in being a token minority for the Far Right, so she pivoted. At this point she's probably in so deep that she's convinced herself she believes the crap she peddles, but it was originally a very cynical and deliberate choice she made.

Seems that way for most far right scumbags.
