Thank you nikos, for posting.
I did watch this interview the other day, and it did soften my feelings toward MTG. I did have to rethink my harsh thinking.
I really turned on her when she fought for McCarthy, and hearing her explanation did make sense. I still think it was wrong, but it made sense. I’ll have to listen again, as I did not hear her explanation on the debt ceiling, which is disastrous. I am assuming that was inextricably tied to the McCarthy support.
I stopped to think how unbelievably difficult it must be to wade into that cesspool and try to swim against the current. Every day you wake up, you know you’re going to be fought, hated, lied about, lied to, and the viciousness of those people knows no ends. There are very few people who will put themselves through that, as we are witnessing. Very few.
So, MTG is not perfect, but she’s human and if she makes some miscalculations on some people, well, she has good company! President Trump trusted people and found out the hard way that he shouldn’t have. I believe McCarthy was one of those he trusted!
Sometimes it’s pretty amazing how people who do very little in the fight can sit back and expect perfection of those willing to jump into the slimy pit of DC.
But, of course, they are perfect.
