Leave aside whatever views you have of MTG. Just put them in a corner for a second. OK, have we done that?
Now: think about the indisputable fact that not AOC, Bernie or a single Squad member could or would say most of what is in this thread, let alone in this tone, and ask why:

When Assange's indictment was unveiled in 2019, I wrote a WPost op-ed warning: its core theory could criminalize all investigative reporting.
A year later, that same theory was used by Brazilian prosecutors to indict me for our reporting that freed Lula:

Yesterday, @AymanM -- one of the only non-Fox national journalists who has consistently warned of the dangers of the Assange prosecution -- hosted Assange's brother to explain the grave dangers to press freedom this prosecution presents:

And again, every major press freedom, human rights and civil liberties group in the US/UK are echoing exactly what MTG said about this Assange persecution. The utter silence of major left-liberal figures in the US is nothing short of disgraceful (as unsurprising as it is). 
Hard to express how much better US political discourse -- and policy -- would be if the left had an actual anti-establishment dissident-leader like @JLMelenchon. But alas, it only has Dem Party loyalists like Bernie and AOC who play-act, then faithfully snap into line.
Now that NBC and CNN are filled with ex US Security State operatives on the payroll, goons like former FBI Asst. Dir. @FrankFigliuzzi1 (now of NBC) attack colleague @AymanM for calling Assange a journalist. Assange never even worked for CIA/NSA/DOJ: how he can be a journalist??
When you're a dissident, subversive threat to establishment power and the DC ruling class.
This was the most the radical left-wing enemy of ruling class power could muster when asked directly:
