Pulling the rug from underneath

This is a quote from Alan Jones via Andrew Bolt. The “he” here is Malcolm Turnbull:

I might add he asked me to talk to Tony about it and I did. Malcolm was always ringing around on anything that might pull the rug from underneath Tony Abbott. The point is Malcolm Turnbull’s now Prime Minister and he’s doing exactly what he criticised Tony Abbott for doing…. Malcolm Turnbull seems in government to have been struck with rigamortis. But as I said, when Tony Abbott announced a plebiscite, Malcolm Turnbull’s opposed to [this] and rang me to express that opposition.

It is just said so nonchalantly, hardly worth mentioning, really. What else would anyone do, except that no one else did. That Malcolm asks anyone for loyalty demonstrates how lacking in insight he really is.
