She just announced she’s quitting congress. Call me what you want but I feel bad for her now. Trump says it is great news. What a douchebag he is.
Well at least she won’t be charlie kirked now.
But yeah, MTG was probably threatened with all kind of terrible stuff if she didn’t bow out. Actually I think she reported being threatened just a couple days ago. Really crazy time to be alive.
She chose January 5 as the date because that is a couple of days after she hits her 5 year Congressional service anniversary. If she resigns any sooner, she won’t be eligible for her generous government pension, one benefit of which is essentially free healthcare for life. Also, she managed to somehow increase her net worth from $700,000 to $22 million during those five years. She’s had enough of the game and is cashing in her chips.
She should get her pension why wouldn’t she. And whatever money she has made or not it has nothing to do with her work in forcing the release of the Epstein files. That’s just like a strawman argument. Oh but she made money and wants her pension.
Congressmen are under FERS, which is pretty good, but not anything totally crazy. She’s going to get the equivalent of like $9k/yr once she turns 62.
Nope.
This doesn’t seem to be based on any verifiable facts. She has a good chunk of net worth from part ownership of a family construction business, and her financial disclosures (which are lacking) does not suggest her net worth was that low when she started Congress.
If they keep giving Dump what he wants, and letting him get away with everything, of course he won’t respect them. They’re supposed to be a balance on the executive branch, not a rubber stamp.
I love how they are so courageously shrugging, giving up, and leaving the Democrats to clean up their mess.
