    She’s back to promoting ivermectin for hanta virus.

    She needs to stay within the confines of her trailer park.

    The reason she’s anti-trump is because he wouldn’t support her campaign for Senate.

    MTG is still a terrible, selfish person. She can be right for the wrong reasons.

    And we can appreciate the hyenas eating themselves without supporting them. They’re simply stealing our talking points while not even taking them far enough.

    “Being anti-trump is so brave! Like…Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens!” Yeah, not the entire left who were, once again, correct all along. Nah, instead they’ll grift each other and start supporting JD Vance from the looks of it, trying to paint him as the “sane one” or whatever bullshit they’re trying.

    I still have zero respect of MTG. She made her turn of face while still in office where her vote could have affected real change, but instead she immediately resigned. If she had started voting to match her new rebrand then perhaps there would be something to undo all the partially damage she’s done while in office, but no. She quit instead.

    She’s all talk just onto her next grift, and she thinks the left are her new mark.

    It’s important to remember that she is one giant, giant motherfucker. Being Anti-Trump doesn’t mean she cares about anything other than herself, but I’ll give her credit for seeing the shifting winds before the crowd.

      I think it was the death threats from Trump supporters that led to her leaving. Nothing is real to these fuckers(except antifa, forced sex changes, etc…) until it happens to them.

    Broken clock. Sometimes she’s right, I’d still prefer to see her disappear into a deep hole, but that doesn’t change when she’s right about one or two things.

      People keep saying this as if it is useful. I don’t keep a broken clock around my house and use it to tell the time. I throw it out and get a new one.

      I’m assuming this is way back when there was the isreal missile shield vote. MTG was part of the opposition to it, AOC basically argued it was purely defensive so we should back it. IMO that’s one of AOCs worse takes on a subject that I’ve seen, when otherwise I would say I like AOCs stances 95% of the time.

        Unfortunately, as a legislator sometimes you have to vote for something you’re against in order to get something you’re for. She’s not stupid, so there is definitely some hidden pressure there.

        If we want to make any progress a lot of people are going to have to get over the idea that every politician has to be perfect 100% of the time on every issue.

        I don’t know why AOC voted the way she did, and I don’t care.

        If I agree with someone 51% of the time, I’ll vote for them.

        Escaped slave Frederick Douglas supported Abe Lincoln over a candidate who was pushing for immediate abolition of slavery. Douglas knew that it was better to win and be able to influence the sitting President than to lose and have no power.

          This post commenting on the disagreement was posted yesterday. Unless I’m missing something it sounds like it’s talking about the arguement with MTG over the Iron Dome, which was before MTG left her house seat.

          MTG arguing her side of it back on July 2025.

          https://x.com/AOC/status/1946588421197046084

          Now maybe there’s a more recent issue this is commenting on that I missed. To my knowledge this is the only specific event where I could see someone arguing of Leftists taking MTGs side over AOC.

            But the post is labeled May 9th 2026. The other two are 1d ago so presumably May 10th 2026. Why would it be talking about a vote that happened over a year ago?

      I don’t see anyone “cheering her rebrand”. I for one cheer good stances and ideas. Will I say Thomas Massey has good policies and should be voted for… absolutely not. Will I say he’s right when he says we need the facts about the epstien files, yes.

      I’ll agree with a good policy, or a correct idea from anyone’s mouth, while holding whether they should be voted for on the totality of their actions.

      Depends on the messenger. If someone comes and tells me I look good and they love me, but it’s the person who’s been throwing their dog’s feces over my fence for the last year, the message is very much overshadowed by the messenger.

      Uhh, yeah. People who are disingenuous and just say shit you want to hear when they’ve got a history of doing the opposite aren’t to be trusted at all.

    This post doesn’t really suggest that you did see it yourself. Why not include that part?
