I do find it an interesting choice. Normally, you'd put a comma there, but you could also use a colon. If you combine comma and colon, you do get a semicolon.

you could also use a colon

Now, with the caveat that prescriptive grammar is kind of stupid, you'd need to remove the word 'that' to make the colon a "correct" choice.

Yeah, true. To both, your correction and your caveat. 😅
