Mind you:

  • She is still quite right-wing
  • She is resigning from Congress in the face of right-wing threats rather than mounting any kind of meaningful opposition

    Ignore what? Cover what situation? The ongoing crisis between MTG and maga/trump? That isn’t a real situation and it was covered on the spot because it was a tweet some time ago followed by MTG doing press runs.

    What’s being covered are conjured media stories simply caring about her for no reason that conclude she is being rehabilitated in some manner.

    This is manufactured propaganda to keep her in the spotlight and rehab her image in what I can only imagine is a stupid attempt to fuel anti trumpism

      I don’t think I’m following. Why do you think MTG is faking it? Who do you think is manufacturing anti-Trump propaganda?

        She’s a bare naked political opportunist who has been doing a continuous press tour about being betrayed by maga and having her life endangered by Trump.

        She has dodged all questions about her complicity, no reporters have meaningfully pushed her on anything (though we may have different standards for what constitutes good journalism), and we see nyt using and concluding with mtg’s own premise of evolving toward respectability

        They, nyt and cbs are egregious examples, are creating the very appearance of respectability she is probably not only paying to create but also serves as another avenue to drive negative attention toward maga and Trump
