I don't really see this as obeying in advance so much as picking her battles. She may think she can do better work in Congress without picking this particular fight, and I agree with PNE above about being inclined to defer to her judgment.
Also, the timing of the GOP trolling her here was obviously calculated to distract from Trump's horrible cabinet nominations. McBride was right to not take the bait.
I don't agree with McBride's decision to obey in advance, but she is in a difficult spot and I understand why she is doing so.

Has nothing to do with whatever Trump is doing, they're just horrible people in general looking to score points with the MAGAt base
It's a deflection though
