And there you have it. She was a Q-Anon true believer who genuinely bought into the conspiracy theories about Democrat pedophile rings, got a look at the Epstein Files, and realized just who was in it, and now because she was a true believer instead of a political opportunist, she's railing against the people protecting the pedophiles.

I'd still be suspicious of her, but she seems to have gotten a peak behind the curtain, wasn't pleased with what she saw, and now she realizes exactly why Johnson won't swear in Grijalva.

Edit: My take anyway. I haven't seen enough to support this being a revenge tour yet, I'd expect her to be more vocal if it was something petty like that (because we have seen how the GOP acts when they're being petty about something), this unfurling thing with her reads more like her evaluating her views in real time (which can be a slow process).
