I don't think this is as stupid as it sounds. With some exceptions Democratic voters tend to punish their representatives for corruption, but republican voters never do
So you're saying she's betting that while republicans will have significantly more corruption, democrats will be the only ones punished because their voter base is the only one that actually cares? Honestly, you could very well be right about the result of a hypothetical universal ethic report release, though I'd be surprised if MTG was smart enough to think 2 steps ahead like that.
The Republicans control the process to determine who gets punished.
So MTG is taking her shot to be Joe McCarthy.
I'm shocked and slightly sickened that trollish dipshit is suggesting something I agree with. I think I need a shower now.
Except in Pelosi’s district. Those Democrats don’t appear to give any fucks about corruption.
