Tim Miller's observations that Kari Lake was trying to moderate herself did reveal that on some level she at least dimly understood that she took her extremism too far during her gubernatorial run. Lake telling McCain supporters "F off, we don't want you here" was a fatal gaffe. If she had just said "McCain supporters, we welcome your support" she'd be AZ governor right now. Heck, even if she had said nothing to McCain supporters one way or another she still probably would have won. But because McCain famously was not a Trump fan, she thought being full-on mouthfoaming MAGA about McCain was necessary.
But at this point everyone knows she's a full-on MAGA mouthfoamer and it'll be very hard to roll that back. Tim's interview rattled her enough that the mask eventually slipped.
