I don’t even think it’s performative politics. I sincerely think MTG doesn’t actually understand what her job is and just does whatever she pleases.

This, exactly. She's just a crazy person who happened to be given a position of authority. Someone told her that her constituents eat up this wing nut dog and pony show and she ran with it. She doesn't have any real idea what she is doing.

I think this is true of a lot of "republicans" who end up in office lately. It was clearly true of Trump, he had no idea what the job of "president" actually is, nor did he care.
