  • 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

    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
