For instance, the most egregious anti-trans bill that has ever come before Congress, which was that Marjorie Taylor Greene bill that would have literally imprisoned parents and doctors for following medical best practices and inserted the government into those deeply personal health care decisions.
They're on the record publicly on it.
I'll take her disagreements with Trump and certainly welcome those disagreements in the context of that issue.
But I think we should be under no illusions that Marjorie Taylor Greene
on 95% of things is still the same Marjorie Taylor Greene.
And that what we've seen over the last year, like I think her departure from Congress was not some master plan to set herself up for office.
I think it genuinely
was a byproduct of the physical threats that she and her family were facing from the president.
And whether or not she contributed to that over the years, that kind of politics, to those types of threats against other people, that does not matter.
She should not face those threats.
Her family should not face those threats.
I think beyond that, the evolution that we've seen, quote unquote, of Marjorie Taylor Greene is a mix of genuine, you know, she's America first, quote unquote.
And there is a battle going on in the Republican Party between the new Republican MAGA establishment and the America firsters.
And I think there is a real disagreement there, genuine, authentic disagreement there.
And it is manifested on things like Epstein and the ACA tax credits.
I also think that there is a bit more of a self-interest and motivation where she wants to prove to these people who have dismissed her, frankly, many of the other women in the Republican caucus, that she is capable of moderating herself and that she could be an effective politician statewide, which they did dismiss.
And I think that's part of why she's going on The View and why she's going on CNN and doing that media tour.
I think you can say, look, I know what you're trying to do here.
I know you're trying to have a gotcha moment.
I know you're trying to have a moment here for yourself.
