Republicans may have had a majority, but conservatives never did. MTG seems to have been completely unaware of this and is acting as if she has the votes to put in place a conservative leader.

20/20 hindsight suggests McCarthy should still be leader and conservatives trading overall reductions in budgets and liberal nonsense in exchange for massive increases in pork barrel spending in RINO districts.

Congress is not a debating society. Politics is dirty business.

..... or maybe she is giving “Repubs” a forced vote to decide to SIDE and SUPPORT the commieDems or vote for Repub values! Kind of tough to say you are conservative and vote for the rubbish $$1.2BB, which was NOT good or even OK but a complete betrayal of taxpayers.... Shut it down and publicize the trash spending the RINOs are voting FOR! .... ymmv

Politics is dirty business.

That's for sure, but MTG knows this, and is doing exactly what we should expect the conservative members of the Republican caucus to be doing, which is pushing leadership to do the right thing.

The Ukraine funding bill was a red line for a lot of the base, and she's right to fight leadership, even if it looks impractical from the outside.

She's not a lawyer, and sometimes gives the enemedia opportunities to twist her words, but she's not wrong here.
