Marjorie Taylor Greene Suggests Releasing All Ethics Reports, Not Just Gaetz's: "If We're Going to Dance, Let's All Dance In The Sunlight'
The report on Gaetz has been dominating the conversation given his contentious nomination for attorney general

Am..Am I agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Is..Is Marjorie Taylor Greene making smart, intelligent, good points?
We really are in bizarro world.
When Democrat politicians fuck up, other Democrats will absolutely call for, and get, resignations. Even things that boil down to consenting adults in privacy can result in resignations when it's seen to compromise a politician.
When Republicans fuck up, the party circles the wagons and goes full defensive. They will absolutely fight to resist any calls to resign, using any tactic they can think of to keep their latest pedo/pervert/con man/criminal in power. Only if the evidence is incontrovertible, and the outcry impossible to ignore, will they ever consider resignation, and as we've seen with Gaetz, that's not even necessarily the end of their career.
MTG is exactly the kind of brainlet to think that Democrats work the same way Republicans do. She thinks "Release all the Ethics reports" will make Democrats back down, or at least intimidate them. A party agreeing to release ethics reports relating to their own people is utterly unthinkable to her.
Well, thank you for coming in and ruining the moment with your facts and reason and obvious statements and common sense
A broken clock is still right 2 times a day.
You're giving her too much credit.
Don't worry, you agree with her words but not her intent. She doesn't actually want to do it, she just wants to use the threat of it to keep Gaetz's report secret.
Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that the Democratic party is far more morally corrupt than the Republican party. So therefore she believes that this is a nuclear option she does not realize that this is what everyone literally wants, well everyone except for the people in her own party.
Right. Not only does she completely misunderstand her enemy, but that misunderstanding has resulted in her explicitly saying, in public, that a whole lot of shady shit has been happening inside the GOP. We all knew that, but saying it out loud is something different.
There are weaknesses in fascism that we should look to exploit. One is that they pick people for loyalty first and competence a distant second. Another is their complete inability to have a good mental model of their enemy's actual strengths and weaknesses.
MTG seems to be in the minority of elected Republican representatives in that she actually seems to believe the things she says
Don't worry, she's not, at least not on purpose. Even a blind pig can find an acorn once in a while.
Pretty sure she's being sarcastic.Blind pigs are far more capable than this creature.
She's not, i don't think she wants this to happen and i think she knows that people won't agree to this kind of thing.
But what she's saying is right. The people deserve to know what our representatives are up to.
