I' m starting to suspect she's positioning herself for a 2028 presidential run.

It seems too early for that, but she's definitely up to something, and setting aside the timing, that seems most likely.

I think she's just anti-semitic (like actually anti-semitic, not just anti-zionist) in addition to grasping at anything that will bring her more attention. Hardly anyone has been complaining about her lately, and she probably misses it.

But this doesn't feel like someone just spouting rhetoric, or even just trying to get attention. It seems more deliberate and calculated than that. She's not just hurling condemnation - she's distancing herself from Trump snd the rest of the Republicans.
