    I’ll never like her.

    I will begrudgingly acknowledge that she was likely suckered in the same way so many people were suckered, and is now trying to do the right thing.

    I will continue to quietly suspect that she’s probably an accessory to the cover up in some way and is trying to save her own ass.

    However, the enemy of my enemy and all…

      She’s not trying to do the right thing. She was perfectly happy being compliant with the current administration as long as her back was scratched. Now that they’ve thrown her under the bus, she wants to piss in as many teacups as possible!

      She’s on a tear because she thought she’d get a top cabinet position, only to discover that Trump along with everyone else in the party thinks she’s a moron.

      I don’t really think she is trying to do the right thing. She was Trumps biggest ally for YEARS while he did some of the worst things, you could think of and she most likely knew about the Epstein stuff way before this and actively covered it up. She doesn’t believe in anything except her own power.

      I think, the reason she is doing this is because she recognized that Trump is a sinking ship and she is trying to take advantage of that for her own gain. Maybey she wants to run for president in the future or at least be the loyal companion of one. If she were to continue defending Trump for everything his admin does, she would sink with him, so she tries to get out.

      Sometimes, even basically evil people have a line they won’t cross. Deceiving the public and corrupting the rule of law beyond repair, just to protect a cabal of pedophile rapists, seems to be that line, for an alarmingly small number of republicans. I guess she just didn’t think it would come to that. MTG is probably just your basic greedy racist vindictive kind of evil. I can imagine why the sadistic child raping stuff might be a deal breaker for some people.

        I think MTG is loyal to “her people”. She’s fine when “other people” are hurt, but Epstein and his co-conspirators hurt white, Christian, American girls. We’re seeing more and more people breaking off from MAGA based on their personal principles, like the NRA and other 2nd amendment rights group speaking out against the Pretti shooting.

        Donald has no principles whatsoever, he just wants to “win” and demands absolute loyalty no matter what. It looks like some of his supporters are starting to see the con job, or maybe they already did, but they’re starting to realize that allying with a man who will betray you as soon as you’re no longer useful is a bad strategy.

        The thing is, the line here wasn’t some moral conflict. From what I understand, she’s mad because the republicans wouldn’t back her senate run. All this was ok with her as long as she continued to have a political career.

      She’s an utterly dispicable woman. That doesn’t mean she’s wrong on this one issue.

      It’s completely fine (and reasonable) to say “I hate this person and everything they stand for but on this one issue we’re in complete agreement”.
