What's incorrect about this? I guess you could quibble about what "quixotic" is supposed to communicate there, which is not completely clear to me. But he did leave, prominently, angrily. And he has forged new alliances with the right since then.

Clearly mischaracterizes it as the primary reason for leaving as opposed to one of the things that happened after he left.

I mean we don't know his motivations but in retrospect he did immediately make a bunch of friends on the right, and align his work with their goals and messaging.

It's a judgement that you can disagree with but as a characterization it does fit the facts.

Plenty of explanations fit the facts for any given set of facts. That's why politics is so fun.
