MTG is playing a character to get votes. She isn’t stupid.

She's also not the only one, she's just low hanging fruit. This same point can be made about Trump, and as you know, he has a lot of dedicated followers who are smart, functioning adults. Not Gen Z.
votes are part of it; she's also drawing attention away from other topics the GOP would prefer to not get looked at...

...like how all of the GOP voted against federal aid for the hurricane victims, esp. several in southern states that got hit.
