please help me understand

Politico reported this morning that a slew of Democrat candidates are not supporting Nancy Pelosi. Included in this list is Brendan Kelly.

This is a real head-scratcher, given that Brendan Kelly has campaigned with Pelosi….in person. Not only did he benefit from her fundraising, he spoke at the event with her.

A timeline:

3/26/18: Brendan Kelly calls for “new leadership” in Washington.

4/25/18: Brendan Kelly attends a fundraiser with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi in his honor.

*Hours later* “I’ve been clear, we need new leadership in Washington in both parties” – Brendan Kelly

If that’s clear, then I’ve been using that word wrong for years.
