The optics alone are enough to raise eyebrows, and the fact that this is happening in the current political climate makes it all the more noteworthy. It suggests a concerning willingness, or perhaps even an eagerness, to align with fringe elements that, not too long ago, would have been universally condemned and career-ending.
