The “I now admit I’m a dumbass for believing Trump cared about Americans” bit is too little too late.

She’s walking away with full pension and 25 mil is insider trading profits. Poor lil rich girl.

It was over the ACA?? Why didn’t she just try to switch parties? I don’t buy that anyway. I’m certain it was over the death threats.

honest answers only would you grift if it meant your networth goes from 700k to 25 million? literally 35x your whole networth in 5 years?

I don’t agree with her political views, I think her obnoxious statements and behavior during Biden’s SOTU address are embarassments, but I can’t disagree with her assment of our current administation, congress and our political process.
I do think when elected five years ago she truly had no idea how Congress actually works, thought it would be easy to game by being a lightning rod, then slowly learned the real truth of the political process-and realized she wasn’t an important part of it despite her displays of loyalty.
FWIW I don’t think she’s had a “Road to Damascus” moment. I think she’s made a lot of money over the last five years, has seen her political aspirations wither and is giving a parting shot as most will do when leaving a job where they feel mistreated and undervalued.
Just as an aside, anyone heard from Boebert? She’s been awful quiet lately.

seems odd, i could not find her use the word “resign” in her written statment.
Tiny_Structure_7 on
She wrote a long and passionate good-bye letter, even pointing the finger at rising costs, lack of healthcare, and the misconduct of the billionaire and corporate classes. Too bad none of her base has the reading comprehension to understand it (it’s written above the 6th grade reading level).

The parties are not the same. MTG has been detested by the Left for years and has never feared for her life. She has only been hated by the Right for a few days and had to hire private security because of death threats.

Still had to sneak a “leftist fake news” jab in there huh, Marge? Pathetic

Funny, she spent all that time bad mouthing Democrats and didn’t receive a single threat, as soon as she turns on Republicans, she immediately resigned. Wonder who the violent ones are?

What is it with MAGA and capitalization? They collectively just don’t know how it works.
Anyway, it’s a funny letter. It rightly calls out that congress does nothing to help common people and the affordability crisis, and only cares about getting re-elected and corporate interests.
Then it trumpets her bills that were never even brought to the floor, which are all culture war bullshit and a capital gains break that would help the wealthy and not the everyday person.
Anyway, she sucked, and the democrats should TOTALLY run someone in her district HARD. They have no chance of winning, because it’s a solid blood-red district, but it’s going to have eyes on it and get national attention.

This is too good to be true. I’m not buying it. There has to be another play here that she has in her back pocket. Could she be stepping down to gear up for a presidential campaign? I might have to put that on my crazy shit bingo card.

in her statement she is the same narrow minded, fear driven, hateful bigot she has always been. and then, she gives no good reason to resign now rather than serve her term and retire. sounds like a payoff.

Good for you MTG to say raping 14 year old girls is abhorrent.
The rest of what you say is right wing talking points.
Good riddance!
Due-Egg4743 on
I still think she’s joining Elon’s new party. And she’ll most likely get paid to be a very vocal cheerleader for it. It’ll be an “America First” party called the Freedom Party IIRC.
Cool-Signature-dude on
She helped enable this whole administration and has been maga since day 1.
I don’t care what she is doing now. I just hope they flip her seat in the special election in January.

MTG is a bigoted asshole, no worthy debate to be had there. That said, she is far more aware than her record would indicate. Her choice to not allow herself to be a figurative “battered wife” to the Mango Mussolini is the evidence.
Ideology is where the battles in congress should rage, not reality itself. While I think MTG’s reality is very informed by a bigoted ideology, her awareness of working class struggles is heartening.
Now if she and more of her stripe could just see past their weird neo liberal indoctrination and anti-ness toward anything socialist and therefore pro-working class we’d have something to work with.

>AOC on MTG retiring:
“She’s carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office.
She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she’s STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes.”
Piza_Pie on
No. I don’t think I will.
Juco_Dropout on
According to AOC:
MTG is retiring within 1-2 days of receiving her pension.
She has positioned herself to make millions off the stock market.
This is a planned exit timed to allow MTG to Re-Enter the political arena free of Trump baggage.

Not only is she leaving in the middle of her term, giving up on trying to do anything constructive to help people instead of just troll them…
…she’s also dating her resignation date to two days after her congressional pension gets locked in.
Because fuck you, taxpayers. She helped raise the debt with Trumps bullshit, she made a bundle with insider trading, and now she is flipping US citizens the bird on her way out.
She spread loathing and resentment wherever she went, did nothing constructive, enabled horrible people to do horrible things, and grabbed some illicit cash for herself.
