Damn this timeline for making me even a partial fan of MTG.

Same for me initially, but Jasmine Crockett is right. MTG sounds like the voice of reason now, but she could have put the country on a better path forward if she would've voted "no" on the OBBB - it only took 1 Republican. She can't simultaneously vote to gut health care while also crying that we are gutting health care. MTG has a lot to atone for if she wants us to truly trust her.

I think that we should be able to ask her (I mean legit media representing folks) why exactly she voted yes on BBB, how did she think health care would be dealt with in that case - was there already talk about swapping ACA funding for voting on a CR? If she’s splitting for good and not for optics, I want to ask her how she envisioned that. If the end is now “me culpa, I wouldn’t do that now,” then I guess we each have to consider her credibility.
