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.

    "her people" fucks kids. She knew and they were still her people until the charade fell. Then she changed

    I'm probably being generous to MTG and giving her the benefit of the doubt in spite of the fact that I'm appalled how "her people" are limited to white, American Christians. But my generous take on it is that she originally didn't know that the wealthy elites among her people were fucking the children among her people and once she realized that, she rebelled against it.

    I'm don't know her or anyone who knows her so I'm just speculating based on the same information as everyone else, but it explains her behavior pretty well.

    Yet unfortunately she did know and the child sex was just a step in her career, she would keep it hidden but was thrown under the bus by her people so she suddenly cares about kid penetration
