Why do people keep listening to her and giving her attention?

She has power. She's on major committees and basically controls McCarthy's speakership. Ignoring her won't make her go away.

She's been expelled from the Hard right caucus, shes losing political capital with her antics. Calling Boebert a bitch wasn't a good move for her fascist buddies.

My question was more why she has that power, why she is in major committees. Still a politician who is not taken seriously will eventually lose their power. Listening to her only empowers her

Yeah… I got yelled at a while back for saying that I think she’s irrelevant. Apparent I’m not allowed to think that because she’s a super-important politician™

A person who works in government administration (the governing body that decides the laws you have to obey) is relevant, even if unlikable.

Edit: also 'yelled at'? Lol I saw that thread. It was you ignoring 12 people talking sense to you.

I was me being told I wasn’t allowed to have the OPINION that she is irrelevant TO ME.

I don't think that's how it went. Enjoy your opinion.

So not only are you telling me what my opinion should be, you’re telling me that how I said it wasn’t how I said it?

Is there a gatekeeping award coming up? Because I’d love to nominate you.
