So I have been waiting for someone to put this up and no one did so I had to! 

I've been watching some of her old social media posts and I can tell you personally the Dems are making a huge mistake here. MTG is by far the most entertaining political personality in years. She's almost in Palin's league. She's absolutely hilarious and the Dems are doing a serious disservice to the entertainment of the American public. 

She's bat *** crazy!! Around the bend, crackers, nuts, and I honestly believed if the Dems hadn't done this, she would have single handedly brought down the republicans.

She'll still have the platform of a  member of the House of Representatives, she just won't be able to corrupt and crazy up policy at the committee level. I am quite confident that she will give us plenty of fodder for discussion for the next year.

I miss Palin being the most embarrassing member of the Republican party, those were good days. This woman from Georgia is a walking disaster, I don't know what rural backwoods holler they puked her up from but I wish she'd go back. The only reason the Republicans are supporting her is due to her being popular with Trump. 

They want Omar gone for criticizing Israel because they're so worried about antisemitism all of sudden? ?

I was only kidding about the post but she is really funny! You will not believe the madness coming out of mouth. You couldn't make that stuff up.

Their level of hypocrisy is amazing! Did you see McCarthy on the floor explaining her position. Just watched Maddow and she has some of her crazy on the show. Someone has to get her on SNL!

Just wondering if MTG is going to go the way of Josh Hawley? 

Will she be singled out by corporate sponsors for ridicule as they did with Hawley? 

Hawley must be so unpopular having drawn attention and having corporate sponsors hold back their donations from everyone. Ted Cruz seems to have escaped their wrath though?

Activists groups need to use this to hammer the point home and boycott any company in cahoots with the republicans. One should always strike when the iron is hot!

Curious, I'm not sure what will happen. However, the way things have been going and as crazy as she is she'll probably somehow continue to rise. I had read in one article that the Corporations pulling their funding was more of PR stunt than actually having any meaningful effect on their campaign finances. The article alleged that the politicians campaign funds actually didn't rely very much on corporate donations.

I think it was a USAToday article? I can't remember. I was surprised when I read that though, I thought they made up a large part of their donations.

It's the juxtaposition of the Federalist Society's boy Hawley and MTG re the GOP's choices, for which politics will dominate the party. 

Hawley had serious creds and gravitas but MTG is Palin like crazy and she stimulated the base. It's polar opposite characters and political acumen. It's intriguing how the republican minds work? Hawley is analytical and coniving and MTG is reactive and insane and yet the republicans appears to embrace both? 

There are so many disparate characters in the GOP world except for their mostly snake like traits with a few exceptions, but even those seem to occasionally'Romney) have to go rogue. 

And their leadership is in a league of their own. McCarthy, McConnell etc are scary characters. 

I just don't know how they all fit except by embracing Trump, they had a talisman and could negotiate their individual craziness without killing each other.

Yes, they did make a mistake.  McCarthy was getting pressure to both keep and get rid of her.  They let him off the hook, and now there will be a smaller spotlight on her.

I don't like the precedent this set.  Although, It will be fun to watch this come back around on the Dems, likely in just two years.  

She is the right's version of AOC.  

What is a shame is that she has past experience as a successful businesswoman and her viewpoints could be valuable in shaping policy.

Suggesting that MTG is simply the right's AOC is cute.  Are they the same because they are both women and relatively new members of congress?  Is that what makes them the same.  

That lack of discernment is dangerous.  Even a cursory examination of the two women results in a collapse of similarity once you examine beyond flimsy surface similarities. Perhaps little is considered beyond surface appearances in modern conservatism...I think that might be true considering the level of crazy that republican voters have elected in the past 5 years.  Abandonment of values to pursue grievance hasn't done much to elevate the politics of the right.  IMV

I guess you're not really interested in what I would say.  You're just happy to have the opportunity to rationalize what you want to believe about those on the other side.

Have a nice day.

You can guess all you want.  

The women are nothing alike.  One of them is crazy and it isn't AOC ... so who exactly is rationalizing by implying crap that is ridiculous it is so far from comparative?
