She's either a newly-outed leftist; insane; or -- most likely -- both.
I'm just guessing, but I think her memoir of the woman in the wheelchair being helped down stairs during an evacuation when it was palpably dangerous to stay, may have been a trigger moment for something Catholics in particular seem to be vulnerable to, viz., a "sudden conversion" moment.
In this case, the contrast would have been between the healthy Republicans hauling ass off the grounds, and the low-paid security workers patiently helping the wheelchair-bound woman down the stairs. Instant "moral inequation" slams her in the forehead:
I.e., the putative Democrats behaved more nobly than the putative Republican conservatives.
I would emphasize further that this is how she likely experienced the thought, but that it got past her higher thought and arrived instead as a plain, simple impulsive thought that was driven home by adrenalin, and the suspension of rational thought under stress.
It's simplistic "sidewalk psychology" and begs better comment by trained professionals, but under stress, I think Catholics and other morally-tweaked-and-trained people are vulnerable to that kind of conversion, which please note, is largely immune to rational interrogation or recension. It's psychological, not logical or rational.
