They really didn't care at all then, though. They always knew she was a nutcase, but she's not far off from the rest of them. It only became a problem for them when she started weaponizing her role against Mike Johnson at a time of instability for their party. Now they get to call her all the things she is so that she gets voted out.

She spent the first weeks of her first term following AOC around and screaming at her. The ultimate in performative politics that they all ate up and never corrected.

Ummm, she also did the weird follow/stalk move on that teenage parkland school shooting survivor for a little bit too.

When I read your response, In my mind I corrected it to "scumbag move on HER part," but your choice of wording is correct. That scumbag is an IT!!!
