@jeanne-mayell Personally I think it's just the grift. As others noted, she's resigning the day after her pension vests. She gets free money and healthcare for the rest of her life, and she's not exactly old.
I don't blame you for dissing her. The timing of her resignation that gives her what has always been an obscene life benefit for just five years of service, is reprehensable. The things that have come out of her mouth have been hard for me to get past.
But I feel MTG is immature and unaware of the depth of suffering the GOP has caused. The reason her kids can't afford a home and her constituents can't afford insurance or even food, started long before Donald Trump, although he has escalated it to new heights. American history is also complex, but it was in 1980 that Ronald Reagan started the escalation of the wealthy at the detriment of everyone else.
MTG was six years old when Reagan took office, and since she doesn't show knowledge of much American history, she doesn't know what she doesn't know. She knows what she sees first hand, that her kids can't afford homes, and her constituents can't afford health insurance and food.
Who knows what that woman would be saying if her awareness continues to grow?
She has a heart. I saw it in her eyes and in her voice when she first spoke out against MAGA. With all that fearlessness and feistiness, she could be a force for good. She should get a debriefing from Bernie Sanders who'd help her "see" the America she is starting to see.
If we all send her healing and light, she might grow more open to truth. We are all on a journey. MTG is no exception.
