I still have zero respect of MTG. She made her turn of face while still in office where her vote could have affected real change, but instead she immediately resigned. If she had started voting to match her new rebrand then perhaps there would be something to undo all the partially damage she's done while in office, but no. She quit instead.

She's all talk just onto her next grift, and she thinks the left are her new mark.

    What is this referencing specifically, "taking MTG's side over AOC's"?

    I'm assuming this is way back when there was the isreal missile shield vote. MTG was part of the opposition to it, AOC basically argued it was purely defensive so we should back it. IMO that's one of AOCs worse takes on a subject that I've seen, when otherwise I would say I like AOCs stances 95% of the time.

    If we want to make any progress a lot of people are going to have to get over the idea that every politician has to be perfect 100% of the time on every issue.

    I don't know why AOC voted the way she did, and I don't care.

    If I agree with someone 51% of the time, I'll vote for them.

    Escaped slave Frederick Douglas supported Abe Lincoln over a candidate who was pushing for immediate abolition of slavery. Douglas knew that it was better to win and be able to influence the sitting President than to lose and have no power.

    i thought we were talking about AOC publicly backing giving arms to isreal. Harris would have been just as guilty as biden, as she said herself. would she have been as bad as trump ? of course not, which is why i voted for harris. but that does not mean she gets a pass, and neither does AOC. whomst we are actually talking about. and my main point being that her stance is hard to swallow. nothing more. i will be looking for someone better in the mean time

    ? the original post mentions AOC and MTG, the post i responded to is “ What is this referencing specifically, "taking MTG's side over AOC's"?”

    i have no idea where Harris comes in other then she was also criticized rightfully for backing israel during a genocide.

    Your words.

    If you weren't talking about Harris you should have made it plain.

    Or are you saying AOC is backing genocide?

    This post commenting on the disagreement was posted yesterday. Unless I'm missing something it sounds like it's talking about the arguement with MTG over the Iron Dome, which was before MTG left her house seat.

    MTG arguing her side of it back on July 2025.

    https://x.com/AOC/status/1946588421197046084

    Now maybe there's a more recent issue this is commenting on that I missed. To my knowledge this is the only specific event where I could see someone arguing of Leftists taking MTGs side over AOC.

    It's important to remember that she is one giant, giant motherfucker. Being Anti-Trump doesn't mean she cares about anything other than herself, but I'll give her credit for seeing the shifting winds before the crowd.

    Broken clock. Sometimes she's right, I'd still prefer to see her disappear into a deep hole, but that doesn't change when she's right about one or two things.

    Leftists tripping over themselves to cheer MTG's sloppy rebrand

  • source

  • [–] 21 points 6 months ago

    I don't see anyone "cheering her rebrand". I for one cheer good stances and ideas. Will I say Thomas Massey has good policies and should be voted for... absolutely not. Will I say he's right when he says we need the facts about the epstien files, yes.

    I'll agree with a good policy, or a correct idea from anyone's mouth, while holding whether they should be voted for on the totality of their actions.

    Depends on the messenger. If someone comes and tells me I look good and they love me, but it's the person who's been throwing their dog's feces over my fence for the last year, the message is very much overshadowed by the messenger.

    MTG has completely 180d on most of her policies in the last twelve months, so at this point disagreeing with MTG is disagreeing with AOC most of the time, at least in the headlines and posts.

    For anybody else who is unaware.

    It seems more that she's grown aware and upset that Trump hasn't kept his campaign promises that she agrees with.

    She's not marching under an ally flag anytime soon, just softening her rhetoric and laying low till Trump gets off her back for "betraying" him in demanding the Trumpb Epstein files be released (which was her and Trump's position prior to the presidential election).

    She started spewing ivermectin once the Hantavirus news was coming.

    She didn't 180 anything. She agrees with YOUR opinion every once in a while, not the other way around.

    She didn't 180 anything...

    Nope, you are completely wrong there.

    MTG reads the New York Times now, has 180d her stances on health care, trump, women's rights, democratic legislation, inflation, supporting the war, foreign policy in general, the military budget, mass deportation, she's reading about history she was absolutely clueless about before, she's 180d on a bunch of stuff the past year.

    Don't get played.

    If she had actually changed she wouldn't have resigned; she'd have stayed in Congress and fought them.

    She slid out at the perfect time. She'll be a well paid talking head in the midterms and go on a lucrative lecture tour afterwards. She'll probably run in the 2028 primaries and go into the Convention with enough support to make a great deal for herself.

    When it was advantageous for her to play the rube she played the rube. Now she is playing at reform.

    You're all playing yourselves.

    You're terrified of being hoodwinked by someone who complains about Jewish space lasers.

    If you like MTG, that's your thing, but don't pretend I do when I explicitly said otherwise.

    You guys are plainly wrong on current publicly available political facts, so I'm setting you straight.

    If you want to assume short term political posturing is 180d behavior I think it's going to take more than 3 months to prove it's how she really is now.

    She's tweeted:

    "I actually texted her today and asked what can we treat hantavirus with. I’m so glad she posted it. Ivermectin. Also vitamin D and zinc. Those of us who refused to lockdown, mask up, and get vaxxed took the good ole horse paste and also developed natural immunity."
