She's been doing a rehabilitation slash apology tour. Going on air with CNN and the show The View.

Toning down the crazy, amping up the support of survivors, calling out hypocritical actions and words in her party. She's been saying things like "I follow Jesus, not DjT/maga/Q/whatever"

She's been getting tons of absolute critics saying, "I can't believe I agree with MTG!"

She's plotting something and needs the middle and rational to see her as viable for whatever it is.

She's savvy. Maybe she's a true believer in Q, maybe not. But I'd bet a shiny nickel she's doing all this for a reason. And not because she's afraid for her life. She has a plan in motion.

Rep. MTG announces resignation a couple days after becoming eligible for her Congressional pension, after making millions through illegal stock trades. FTFY.

She also became the subject of death threats from MAGA cultists. Being on the other side of things could be intimidating enough to motivate a career change now that she is rich enough to do whatever.

Wait seriously? Did she actually get her pension a couple of days ago?

[–] wagesj45@fedia.io 4 points 4 hours ago

My understanding is that she becomes eligible for the pension on January 3rd, two days before her January 5th resignation. I didn't fact check that, but that's my interpretation from the context of the statements.

Jesus Christ seriously? Man I was just starting to think she could maybe do something marginally positive. Jokes on me for thinking one of the worst people in the world wouldn’t disappoint me.

I wish they'd resign from the planet.
