    MTG is a racist, antisemite and still rabidly far-right. She just left the Trump Train when it stopped working for her. Why are people still giving this batshit lady any attention? She’s not even in congress anymore because she stayed just long enough to be able to apply for benefits. She is scum.

      She is scum. She has remained the same. She is also a tool. She was a very useful tool for maga and getting information to people that connected with her. She can still be a useful tool for getting information to people that connect with her. Many in maga are disillusioned.

      I don’t trust them, but use any ex-maga you can to take the blindfold off others.

      I’m not going to debate the fact that she’s scum, but I think an important part of building a ‘resistance’ is helping to normalize those who once worshipped him but now see the truth. The only way we’ll ever have change is if we erode his base, and people like her show his supporters it’s okay to walk away from his rhetoric.

        She just wants to inherit whatever is left of MAGA. Everyone who carries even a drop of water for her is fooling themselves

          I’m curious who you might point to as a better example? I only ask because I can’t think of a modern maga style Republican who isn’t scummy. Then again I really don’t keep up with ex-maga so maybe there’s a better example I’m unfamiliar with.
