Full press conference from this afternoon
Rep. @mtgreenee doesn't care about today's vote.
Why? 1, she plans to use the free time to push for more House conservatives. 2, she plans to work with DJT's emerging enterprise.
Plus, folks back home are with her in $$ and politics 👇https://t.co/uRsWev8m4l pic.twitter.com/1g92eIPlyp

Holy Carp. That really was an impressive beat down. If MTG had not said some of those silly, loopy things she had to retract (I wonder if she had / has a FReeper handle!), she could go a long way, quickly.
I kept wondering why the Dems were so eager to take this woman further down when she had seemingly already discredited herself. But, now it is clear to me. MTG is, at least when she wants to be, a very solid, very focused, very well spoken advocate for her constituents, and therefor a considerable threat to the libs.
As it is, she has some baggage the MSM will likely never let go of. So, she has to somehow overcome that. But, by the same token, by focusing on issues that concern real Americans, and firing back by taking the media to task for their motives, destructiveness, and hypocrisy, she can make the media look like the petty, vindictive tools they are.
Additionally, the publicity is not all bad. If MTG was just another freshman GOP Congress-critter lacking high level controversy, who would notice? Now, MTG is “on the map”. If she can somehow make sure every Trump voter sees a full vid of this press conference, I think she can establish a “presence” nearly as impressive as Sarah Palin did when Sarah 1st became well known. Then the trick is to build on it.
Star Trek TNG had an interesting episode, once, in which a character suffered a devastating setback, but was then encouraged to “turn disadvantage into advantage”. Rep. Greene has taken quite a first step.
