Yeah, to her credit, she has apparently stopped letting her views dictate her politics, but the fact that she still holds those views and is still at odds with the Hawaii LGBT Caucus is sort of concerning, especially since she has still been getting a lot of her staffers from that same old pool atleast until recently.

I just don't like how quick she is to latch on to things that suddenly make her a conservative darling. "Homosexual extremists," "Islamic extremists," and so on. Like, people like Fox News and Bannon have loved her for awhile, and that's just sorta gross.

i'm not sure i agree with the characterization of "latching on to be liked by conservatives". when she was doing these things/expressing these views, she was only on the hawaiian stage, which is probably the bluest state in the country. from what i read, her father was a republican senator and very anti-lgbt and whatnot, and it feels like she inherited those views from him moreso than she latched on to them for political gain. that's not something she would have needed to do in hawaii.

not that it makes it better, i just don't think that's a fair way to characterize it. if she's doing anything, it's the opposite. latching onto things that make her look better to democrats in spite of her socially conservative viewpoints,
