MTG goes on extraordinary rant about Charlie Kirk, Republican men and her resignation
“Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for,” she said.
But the current President is one of those rich powerful men raping the trafficked. What did she expect would happen?
She expected support for her run for Senator. She got none.
American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men,
I'm wondering if that is a description of herself?
Maybe that's why this issue is her line in the sand?
Woman experiences leopards eating her face while live streaming it.
Not really, I think shes just trying to save face.
The leopard didn't eat [gestures somewhere] all my face! I am chosen! I am selected!
MTG, standing eyeball-deep in feasted leopard shit, gnashing and tearing away the flaps of flesh the leopard left behind
I don't think even she is so stupid that she is just now realizing that the Republican Party is....full of Republicans.
She's resigning exactly two days after her pension kicks in.
In fairness, we would all do it this way. Would you stop a week short? Fuck no, I worked for that.
I don't like her and I don't like nearly everything she's done, but this is the most honest way people in congress make their money. I'd be more angry about most of the other ways.
She’s also worth 21 million dollars now, when she entered congress she was worth less than half a million. Her stock trading game has rivaled Nancy Pelosi’s since she entered office. This should be the bigger scandal. It’s not because it bipartisan.
Honestly, —assuming there’s no fuckery here, which in fairness is a bold assumption— I kind of respect the resignation. She fucked us, got her bag, and fucked off. That’s far better than her becoming a fixture of Washington for the next 50 years.
“Do I have to stay until I’m assassinated like our friend Charlie Kirk. Will that be good enough for you then?” she wrote
Sounds like she’s just discovered the “find out” part of “fuck around” might possibly apply to her, so she’s out.
"Typical of Republican men telling a woman to ‘shut up get back in the kitchen and fix me something to eat."
Wait, so as far as I understand she wants the sexism removed from republican party but wants all the other stuff like racism and bigotry to remain? I am sorry dear, they come as a package, drown in the shit hole that you fought so hard to protect.
She does seem to genuinely believe in protecting kids… But she has an extremely warped idea of what that entails. The Epstein thing has been an obvious wedge between her and Trump, because it’s one thing she has dug her heels in and refused to drop. Because (again) she does at least seem to care about protecting kids. And she sees the Epstein stuff as an obvious “if you protect the files, you’re protecting pedos” signal flare. Broken clocks, I suppose. At least she has shown that she hasn’t been willing to budge on this one specific issue.
Wait til you hear what the Latino republicans want, and the gay republicans… Turns out the bigotry party has bigots of all flavors
Ive got a (out) gay republican racist cousin. They sure are something.
For anyone trying to figure out what the angle is, MTG is trying to become the face of the American TERF movement. She's going to milk that for years (if it catches on). Expect a book about the horrors she endured as a brave woman in the Magasphere.
I don't know if right-wing radical feminism in America is necessarily going to be trans-exclusive. Transmedicalist if it isn't, for sure, but there are plenty of right wing grifters who also happen to be trans women.
The mainstream facist right already have transphobia cornered as a brand, so being trans-inclusive might be key to turning some discontent into a real political movement.
oh no the toxic masculinity that I endorsed is toxic!
I really hope that she is immediately plunged into irrelevancy when she leaves office. Id prefer to never have to hear her speak or see her over bleached teeth again, if possible.
Dig a little deeper into her reasoning behind everything she's complaining about, and you'll lose that forgiveness, fast. She's still blaming immigrants for all of America's problems...she's just also tacking some additional blame on businesses that exploit immigration policies for the cheap labor.
At the end of the day, her issues are more that Republicans are being disingenuous about truly wanting to get rid of all the brown folks.
Forgiveness can only be granted after an honest apology, acknowledgement of the harm caused, and an honest effort made to undo those harms.
Her acknowledging the harms that those surrounding her are causing is a step in the right direction, and a step towards forgiveness. But oooh boy does she still have a lot of aplogizing to do and acknowledging the harms that she herself has caused. Not to mention that her current plan isn't to undo those harms but wipe her hands clean of it all.
Forgiveness is only on the table once she starts championing the causes of the black, hispanic and trans peoples she has victimized.
Forgiveness is for people that show remorse
No, not forgiveness. She knew what she was doing and this world is worse for her doing it. I'll gladly never say another bad thing about her as soon as she disappears into obscurity and never speaks publicly again.
Don't worry, they'll soon find someone even worse to replace her with.
The chaos agent in me wants her to keep slinging shit at Congress
This photo just gets more unsettling the more one looks at it.
My secret is that I haven't been settled in years.
Oh I haven’t suffered enough for you while you post all day behind a screen?
I wish this vile woman would take a long tour of the Acme anvil factory on floor cleaning day.
May rat kings infest her home and plumbing
Oh, now those are problems.
They’re only rhetorical problems. When it comes to taking steps to address them, anyone affected needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
I can't tell if her grift got bigger, or if she realized the people serving her kool-aid aren't drinking it.
Probably both.
In recent months, the GOP Congresswoman has publicly broken with her party over the war in Gaza, health care subsidies, and the handling of the Epstein Files.
What exactly led her to choose the Republican party?
She is extremely racist and homophobic
And also not very smart, or good at things. It was an easy choice.
And religious
But I repeat yourself
Good at lying and religious nuttery, grifting, a racist and a homophobe. A perfect fit really.
Really funny watching this "American clown reality TV show". I just wish it didn't affect the rest of the world.
STFU, Trailer Queen. You helped put us here.
She's swinging for the midwestern mom vote and it's going to work, she can build a fanbase there.
Yep. That "midwestern mom vote" won't be enough to get her elected again anywhere, but it will 100% be enough to let her grift millions and continue polluting the airwaves and social media with her hate filled screeds.
As it turns out, criticizing trump is bad for oligarchs.
Whoa whoa whoa. Kirk would not approve of her saying this stuff. She should shut up and get in the kitchen according to him. But Kirk got shot in the neck and would be perfectly fine with what happened to him. So who cares what he thinks.
She's still a racist sack of shit and this is another FAFO. Zero sympathy and get lost.
So far this schadenfreude is really good.
i know it's naive of me but i have my fingers crossed for her to have a redemption arc.
probably not tho.
Hmm. There's a degree to which it feels like she's shoving canned goods from the pantry out of sight into her purse while she's saying this, but I do agree with her basic point here. Especially the way parties are treated like football teams.
I hate it when this happens
Shirley, you know someone worse.
This is the process of MTG becoming Woke.
He, even Hitler loved dogs...
"Two party toxic political system"
Maybe she really is going to run with Musk's party
Well someone convinced Trump to divide the Republicans into groups apparently, so they'll probably split into Repugnant, Repulsive, and the Democrats will find a way to split into Corporate centrists and progressives, why... Because they can't possibly take advantage of a divide and try to win back both houses
I seriously wish a whole lot more conservatives and "moderates" and "independents" would pay more attention to sportsball instead of voting for Republicans for culture war reasons. They definitely treat culture war/wedge issues like sportsball...
They're pissed about sportsball because sportsballers started protesting while still respecting the flag by kneeling and now they refuse to watch sportsball.
You just gave me an idea.
Implement voting in sports, but only for big things. Who should be LocalTeam's coach? Who should be HomeTeam during BigGame? How much should your team splurge on the latest star player?
They would be too busy with all of that to worry about politics.
Probably would have worked better if she hadn’t abandoned the metaphor and swapped to another one.
She went with whatever she felt would be most impactful for the message portion, rather than the whole thing.
It seems disingenuous because it is. It’s not a coherent thought. At best it’s a bunch of unrelated thoughts crammed together. Probably based on what she thinks will hit. As sound bites.
So don’t feel bad not trusting it; it’s not even internally consistent. Even if you agree with part of it, a stopped clock is right at least once.
