4. Now those would look good on fire.

[Skittles]

11. yup

she is learning that for the most part, repukes prefer you to keep your racism out of the news

[LuvLoogie]

3. She's a troll. One of trump's Mini Me's.

She is a pawn used by McCarthy and the GOP establishment to deflect scrutiny.

The Manafort news should have lead this weekend.

Fuck MTG. She's irrelevant.

6. +1

8. Been trying to tell people that for months.

Many think she's just stupid. She may indeed be stupid, but there's a method to it. She's clearly channeling Trump and the things she does aren't just spur-of-the-moment dumb things. They're calculated to fit an agenda and/or generate a specific reaction.

It's exactly what Trump's been doing for years, but then, too many took (and still take) everything he did at face value, too.

21. Well said. She's generating clicks and retweets.

She's there to burn shit down, not be a Congressperson.

That's precisely what her idiot voters want, too.

5. Hey Margie: Scrap yo self

[magicarpet]

7. Oh that is unfortunate,... a few KKK white robes and pointy hats,...

... would have been a nice fashion statement at the US Capitol.

If they want to go Fascist,... go full blast.

[TheRealNorth]

10. They already pretty much gone fascist

01/06/21 was the Beer Hall Putsch

[Drum]

9. Maybe she punked her fellow Rs?

I mean unintentionally of course!

[Me.]

12. You Mean No KLu Klux Kaucus?

[Cronezilla]

17. or maybe...

Klu-less Kux Kaukus?

[amb123]

19. AKA

Ku Klux Kaukus
Ku Klux Krazy Kaukus
Klan Kaukus
Kek Kaukus
Kekistan Kaukus
Q Qaukus
Q Klux Qaukus
Kooky Kaukus
Kooky Krazy Kaukus

Hundreds of names.

[dflprincess]

14. She and her pals will only publicly abandon the idea

They'll be a little less vocal, but their attitudes won't change. This will allow them to attract more Republicans to the group.

[ancianita]

15. Good. The Klan gets no platform. Nipped that evil shit in the bud.

She can't organize a thought, nevermind a two-car funeral. Glad the country sees that.

[marble falls]

16. Awwwww ... foiled again.

[malthaussen]

18. Blink and you missed it.

That was quick.

20. Wow. Too Radical Even For Her.

And that's saying something!

[bucolic_frolic]

22. America First meant something very different

Laying aside our principles to make room for white elites.

The good news is America seems to have figured out this strategy
