She's also a woman, doesn't live in Germany and married to an immigrant. Pardon the language but she's what you call a token. Good enough to get votes and appear normal but she will be disposed of as soon as they actually hold some power.
She will be the first victim should the AfD win a major election. The AfD will radicalize quickly and then its previous leaders will be kicked out or worse (we’ve seen that happening when hitler came to power, anyone remember Ernst Röhm of the SA? He was gay as well).
But apart from that, this hypocrisy is simply terrible, and the excuses Weidel puts forward are beyond painful.
"Weil ich gesellschaftlich deutlich liberale aufgestellt bin, weil ich es auch lebe. Ich lebe es!", so Weidel. "Wir sollten diese Zweiteilung eigentlich hinter uns lassen."
When a liberal claims for “leftist-unity” this is exactly what they are talking about.

"But I'm one of the good ones", they say, as they learn that "tokens get spent" applies to them, as well.

No need to even talk about individuals. There’s a whole caucus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_Cabin_Republicans

regular old DigVic. Back in 1930s, she’d be a “Quisling.”
