I don't think this is as stupid as it sounds. With some exceptions Democratic voters tend to punish their representatives for corruption, but republican voters never do

So you're saying she's betting that while republicans will have significantly more corruption, democrats will be the only ones punished because their voter base is the only one that actually cares? Honestly, you could very well be right about the result of a hypothetical universal ethic report release, though I'd be surprised if MTG was smart enough to think 2 steps ahead like that.

For once I agree with this ghoul.
She's trying to extort her fellow Republicans into not releasing the report, not realizing that the public is saying, "HELL YEAH!" at the suggestion. What's sad is it might actually work, and they won't release anything.
Tulsi Gabbard also released a statement:
Y'all are missing the implication of this. These comments think it's the public she's talking to here. She's talking to other Congress people with skeletons in their closets.
makes popcorn
What? Can't a man just make popcorn without it IMMEDIATELY being assumed to be a statement reflecting the imminent surge of corrupt behavior all coming to light across the entire GOP side due to MTG's own suggestion?
Are you saying I'm only making popcorn because I will treat this as an entertaining movie watching the cockroaches skuttle?
..........I mean, you're right, but daaaaamn. Why you gotta out me like that?
