@shavixmir saidChildhood trauma would be my guess, the scary question is HTF she ends up in mainstream US politics, there is no non scary answer.
Why does this person exist?
She’s embarrassing. And I’m not even an American. I’m not a republican. I don’t even live on a trailer park.
But damn, that woman makes cringe.
@shavixmir saidI presume you're referring to an altercation between MTG and AOC:

Yeah, cringe. That the party whip can't keep her in line shows how low the Republicans have sunk.

Jesus. Miss Jewish Space Laser is a real nutcase.

@kmax87 saidI suppose she was a bit of a trail blazer for strung out Moms in congress but I think even Sarah would do a double take at MTG, she is in a whole different league of bat💩crazy. The video of her haranguing a school shooting survivor was like a segment from a demented prank show.
Surely you haven't forgotten the Gorilla from Wasilla, aka Caribou Barbie?

@kevcvs57 saidYes, MTG is clearly way out of her depth in politics, utterly clueless about decorum and protocol. Either:

a) she was not put under the tutelage of a senior Republican Congressman to mentor her;
or
b) her mentor failed miserably;
or
c) she failed miserably to learn anything from her mentor;
AND
d) the Rep. party whip has failed miserably to call her to heel.
The Rep. party is too wrapped up in trying to appease it's demagogue loser ex-POTUS to care. And that is very worrying. A single party state is bad news, in the long run, regardless whether Democrat or Republican. Good governance requires a functioning opposition. But as it now stands, the Rep. party is not functional; it is having a fit of collective oppositional defiance disorder.

Fortunately our main parties have their own separate wings who tend to check themselves, as long as Boris doesn’t prorogue Parliament permanently ‘to get things done’ extremes of either shade should be kept at bay.

She is a rabid nutjob and they just let her loose as a distraction.

@shavixmir saidI do not doubt that MTG speaks for her constituency and says publicly what they think privately. She, like Trump, is a symptom, not a cause.
Now, that is saying something!

@shavixmir saidThe latest from MTG: she compares Pelosi and the wearing of masks to Nazism.
