That "name" for MTG is very Old news to folks here at DU. But for different reasons, I guess...

(16,845 posts)I see her trying to reinvent herself. She talks about coming together and being kind, etc., etc.
But I can do a search on YouTube and immediately find tons of instances where she was nasty and ugly to people, including Biden. But it went further. She was ugly and nasty to reporters who were just trying to do their jobs, among other people.
It's going to take a while for me to see her in any other light because the possibility that she's faking this is always going to be in my mind.

(16,845 posts)First, welcome to DU.
I watched the interview, and I must say, I really felt that MTG is quite fake. She has changed the way she speaks. Her voice is slower and softer and contrived. So I have great suspicions that will likely continue for a very, very long time.
If she is for real, in time, she will be able to convince me. But I'm not there yet.
You are absolutely right in that you can't cause the damage that she has caused and then expect to be taken for your word when you do a one-eighty!!

(6,378 posts)The '50s could never imagine an idiot like MTG. They could be portrayed that way in TV shows but nobody in those days would imagine anyone in Congress being as dumb as the "House Freedom Caucus" as they lie[sic] to be known or one of the "CrossFit Chaos Monsters" as Slate calls her.

Nevertheless, at this point I have to applaud any Republican's willingness to stand up to Trump.
hamsterjill
(16,845 posts)I do not want her to be harmed in any way, shape, form or fashion. She has every right to speak out and do what she's doing. I don't have to accept it, or like it. But that does not mean that I would enjoy seeing her harmed.
We've seen the MAGA mentality. Hell, half of the Trump followers couldn't tie their own damn shoe, much less try to figure out something themselves. When Trump uses the rhetoric that he uses against his perceived enemies, he is in essence, giving his followers a green light to do these things. It's disgusting.
I hope she has good security.
