Not being American I still knew about her but I’d never either seen her or hear her talking.
There’s no excuse for such poor behavior to a standard question.
That’s the schtick. It makes the news reels and gets her name out there for 15s and it normalizes crazier behavior for others.
I’m not sure she actually does anything besides fling shit.
It works. People vote her in.
Around 2015 someone (most likely Cambridge Analytica) found out that to drive engagement, all you need is outrage. Ever since, it has influenced online discourse and politics worldwide. It’s been a downright paradigm shift: suddenly the objective truth doesn’t matter anymore. Reality is malleable. Once you realize this you see it everywhere: engagement bait, usually in the form of outrage porn. That’s the first step. The second one is echo chambers and polarization.
Someone simply figured out how human brains worked and hijacked the system behind it. That’s it, that’s the whole deal. The world’s best psychologists aren’t employed by medical companies or in academia; they’ve been hired by venture capitalists to find every possible flaw in the human psyche, in order to identify and then weaponize those, ad infinitum. This is not a battle than can be won by fact-checking and calling for decorum.
We’ve been at war for our very attention and insight for almost a decade, we’re losing badly and no one even understands, let alone has a constructive way to fight back.
“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Apparently outrage isn’t enough because we got stuck with this nightmare
Someone simply figured out how human brains worked and hijacked the system behind it.
This realization came way before 2015
Worked even before trough religion and fear mongering.
People are fucking stupid. The lack of school funding works.
Scumbags?
Yeah, the rest of the world forgets how many Ray-Ban and eagle and flag t-shirt wearing, truck driving, chubby, bearded, gym bro weirdos and how many vapid, bleached blonde, red lipstick wearing, pearl clutching Karen’s there are in America. She’s got their votes on lockdown.
It’s all the juicing and human growth hormone that made her ugly head swell into a pumpkin doing most of the heavy lifting on her already shitty personality. This crazy bitch is a walking (on her fucked up hammer toes) roid rage ready to happen at any moment.
This article leaves out the best part!
After ignoring the UK reporter MTG turns to an American reporter who says, “I’m an American, and I would like to hear your answer to her question.”
Damn she is so weak minded…

Don’t blame just Republicans, 100,000,000 people stayed home on election day. Not voting is a choice with consequences.
There’s plenty of blame to go around for the fucking fiasco we are now a part of. But this fucking article is about one of those goddamn traitor moron flag bearers.
She is such a charmer, I can see why Americans vote for her.
/sI can see why Americans vote for her
Americans don’t. Republicans do.
I understand the Americans that want to distance themselves from this and Republicans in general and especially Trump.
I too would hate to have to share any label with Republicans.But unfortunately for good Americans, they do share the label American with the totalitarian fascist Republicans.
And what’s more unfortunate is, that the Republicans was the majority at the Presidential election.I’m sorry to have to lump you together with them under the label American. But this administration and Republicans do represent the whole country now, even those that hate them.
Humanity needs to get its shit together
👊🇺🇸🔥
Americans do. This is the face of the United States now. Ugly, vulgar, inhumane, undemocratic, violent, intolerant. What a shame.
It looks like all the Russian agents (Republicans) are trying to spoil US relations with Europe. Why would Putin want them to do that?
We have a “major migrant problem”?
Kinda sounds like the US is the one with that problem… Things seemed to start going wrong after the Native Americans noticed migrants showing up…
I wonder who this angry rude woman is, and why they’re giving her a platform.
I really wish someone would just slap the shit out of her.
God knows she deserves it.
Well, the UK is the one who sent a lot of those migrants here.
They did not send their best.
Build h(a)drians wall!
MTG being an obnoxious jackass again.
She would need to stop for it to be “again”.
We should replace that word with “always”.
God, we Americans are just pieces of shit aren’t we? I’m so sorry world, our representatives do not represent the majority.
Hmmm don’t they? hasn’t MTG been reelected twice already?
I’m sorry but I am finding hard to believe this is not a reflection of the USA when it has taken about 20 years to get here after EVERY POSSIBLE WARNING. Best I can give you is that the majority may not be like this but could not be bothered ticking a box to avoid it
It’s supremely fucked up, you can rest assured on that.
Also, wherever you live in the world, the powers that be are working right now to construct this exact same mousetrap for you, so when a minority around you consolidates power, breaks traditions and laws, and continues for years - you’ll know what it’s like.
our representatives do not represent the majority
This time around they literally do. This is how shitty our country is.
No, they don’t.
Not a far fall for Magic the Gathering since the Pinkerton incident.
Magic was the first thing i thought about too
Thank you all for making me feel less lonely in my dumbness.
Damn you Hasbro!
And we take a laugh at mentally deranged politicians with a room temperature IQ.
A very cold room.
room temperature IQ… in celsius.
Of course, we are all here laughing in metric.
This cunt doesn’t give a crap about America either… so don’t feel like she’s just picking on you.
I hate that when she’s in the news I get excited because I think it’s about magic: the gathering…
America is really trying hard to be the new North Korea. Keep it up, Americans, it’s working.
Way to alienate yourselves by insulting the rest of the planet.
It’s been a long time coming. Their “American Exceptionalism” thing has been leading this way for decades now. They’re just not smart enough anymore to keep their fart sniffing and xenophobic comments among themselves anymore.
You’re preaching to the choir in here, so it’s falling on deaf ears. But I guess keep trying
You’re preaching to the choir in here, so it’s falling on deaf ears.
I feel like those two expressions aren’t really 100% compatible with each other here 😆
If you think this woman is trashy (which she is, objectively), just imaging the kind of people that repeatedly voted for her.
Hideous inside and out
Russian bitch
