In all the years I've read @JRubinBlogger, she's been fairly consistent. Sometimes I agree with her, often I don't. That's always been true.

Politico doesn't have a case here. The GOP left Jennifer Rubin. She was never going to follow Trumpism. Her history makes that clear.

If any of her opinions have shifted at all, if her ideology has shifted even slightly, it's likely because Trumpism has given her a different perspective. A brush with a coup will do that to a person.

But, again, she's not all that different than she used to be. She was called a RINO all the time in the 2010s. I remember her writing a column asking for a prominent org to stop calling and end to same-sex marriage.

.@JRubinBlogger is just Politico's pick of the week: a high-profile woman they want to lambaste for abandoning The Cause. They're trying to paint her as a money-hungry harpy who goes where the coins are, but they're wrong. She's just Jennifer Rubin.

I never thought I'd end up defending someone I disagree on so many issues with this much, but I don't like injustice, and I do like people who stand on principle.

So there you go.
