    Doesn’t change the fact that a lot of Democrats have recently gone in front of the media, praising MTG for her recent “pivot”. This article isn’t the only example either. I’ve watched interviews and read several other articles where they’ve been saying the same things.

    I have no problem with giving someone credit, where credit is due…but when you actually listen to the totality of MTG’s grievances here, you quickly realize, that she still does not align with the left’s perspectives on these topics, at all.

    It’s like the difference between right-wing and left-wing criticisms of Israel. One side is criticizing Israeli policy regarding their treatment of Palestinians…and the other side just hates Jews. You can’t exactly praise someone like Nick Fuentes for “being right about Israel”, without overlooking everything he says is “wrong with Israel”. Pretending like MTG is somehow, suddenly “on our side”, requires you to ignore everything she actually stands for.
