MTG is abhorrent but there is real danger in the way she is being elevated by those would denounce her (me included) and in saturation coverage. This could be a moment in which a post-Trump precedent is created - or one in which the attention makes her a powerful national figure.
Saturation coverage of and endless attacks on an offensive, conspiracy-promoting, lib-owning, line-crossing populist already brought us one dangerous and unqualified president. We should be careful it doesn't bring us more.
In a world of extreme affective polarization and media distrust, negative news coverage + D attacks can easily rally Rs to Greene's side. We're already starting to see this e.g. in her fundraising. Critical for Rs like McConnell to continue to make clear objections are bipartisan
