Rep. MTG announces resignation a couple days after becoming eligible for her Congressional pension, after making millions through illegal stock trades. FTFY.

    She also became the subject of death threats from MAGA cultists. Being on the other side of things could be intimidating enough to motivate a career change now that she is rich enough to do whatever.

    Rich enough to do whatever means two things in MTG's case:

    1. funnel her ill-gotten wealth to other Republican candidates with "clean" records (i.e. no spats with the Dear Leader).
    2. provide the GOP with a face of remorse that inattentive (dipshit) audiences can sympathize with.

    Both are ploys to continue robbing and pillaging America for the rich by hoodwinking the gullible.

    mostly due to the death threats, plus the gop and trump balked at her running for senate, so they wernt going to support her either way. boeboe on the other hand which was equally loud has kept quiet, smart in a way to not recieve the same thing mtg faced.
