    Been hearing this for days, and it’s just such a weird self-own at this point. It’s bizarre enough that I can’t decide if this is meant to scare them into submission or what? That’s the only angle that makes sense.

          Because Gaetz is her bestie and she knows he’s in danger of not getting the votes to get confirmed. The hardcore trumpists will absolutely use blackmail to get what they want. And they don’t want to lose face by having a trump pick get defeated early on. But yeah, she should have leaned on them privately, not in public. She’s not the smartest.

          That entire group of people are shitheads. They don’t care about eachother past being in the same party.
