Unpopular opinion but I’ve been watching Ana Kasparian and I watched her interview on Tucker. (Yeah, I know) but she made a point to say that we need to have strange bedfellows to make it through this. MTG is still an insane woman, but the press conference with Ro Khana was refreshing.

Most likely. Judging from her past actions I would say 💯

Yeah, she is definitely playing to those who elected her.

What’s scary is to know how rational she can be, if she wants to be.

Which exposes that a lot of the lunacy she displays is an act.
