      Kind of amusing that I read a thread where to two commenters were complaining about such corrections at this. They were bothered.

    “…pro abortion…”

    She’s a grifter through and through. Just trying on a new “look”

    Don’t believe her bullshit. She helped them with literally everything she is now claiming to oppose. Its part of the strategy, her “feud” with MAGA is another grift. This is how they sway centrists to fascism, by having one mouthpiece suddenly become “reasonable” and ease moderates into the pool when they’re too afraid to cannonball into the deep end.

      You can say that but the real reason why she is able to swoop in here and take so much free credit is because the DNC leadership is silent on it.

      I don’t much else about her voting record, but hasn’t she always been supportive of the release of the Epstein files even going against Trump and the rest of the republican party ?

        Yes. She was one of only four Republicans in the House to cross the aisle and vote for the Epstein Files Transparency Act: Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. It’s also pretty clear that she is on the outs with Trump now specifically because of her support for that legislation and consistent demands to release all the files.

    I will never approve of the left whitewashing this Nazi.

    I am so sick of people saying, “sure, she hates the Jews and the Blacks, but she’s one of the good fascists if you just look past her record.”

      I don’t see the left whitewashing her. Every time she does stuff like this I only see people telling her to fuck off.

      She’s not one of the good ones, not even close. But seeing her say shit like this is WILD! I hated her when she was in office, and don’t much care for her now but I fully support her attempting to speak truth to power. You can hate someone and still agree on some things.

      I don’t think people are defending her, more like pointing and laughing at the infighting.

        I am defending her, and attacking you that attack those that defect from maga, as if you can win on your own, and as if she isn’t more left than the majority of the fucking democratic party.

    MTG is like the saturday morning cartoon villain who is totally fine with screwing people over or blowing stuff up but would never, like, rape someone. I think she’s finally realized just how disgusting the rest of her party is. It’s scary how often she tweets something so very sane that I agree with her.

    Still vehemently oppose her policies of course.

      I mean, it’s the same kind of rhetoric trump was spouting ten years ago. It’s meant to pander to a wide demographic who’s “sick of the status quo”.

      The problem comes when they get the power they promise they’ll do something with, but they decide to enrich themselves instead.

      It means that things are that bad. That people not caught up in literal cult-like behavior are livid over all of this, even of their disagree on nearly everything else.

      You’re not agreeing with her, she’s agreeing with you - as it is her world view that’s changed, while yours has remained consistent.

        Re-read the damn tweet lmao. Her view hasn’t changed on anything, she still supports all the shitty things she did before, she just doesn’t want her bills going up or for her family to receive death threats from her own party.

        And also if she was the monarch instead of the current one, she absolutely would have done the same as Trump is doing right now.

      Don’t worry, she isn’t the one who had these thoughts. You aren’t actually agreeing with her, she just said something that someone wrote for her that you happen to agree with.
