And her being replaced by a bigger whack job is somehow better?
And don't underestimate her allegiances. Say what you will about Kevin McCarthy, but he's still Speaker of the House. He may not have the full support of the GOP, but he had plenty of allies and clout before MTG came along. And there are plenty of Republicans from both chambers that have absolutely no problems with her policies and like the idea of her being a lightning rod keeping the negative publicity off of them in public while quietly maneuvering behind the scenes. They want her around even if it's only in a "useful idiot" role.
MTG's incessant attempts at impeaching Biden are an example. She is the one constantly in the press demanding Biden's impeachment ad nauseum. She is the one that takes the brunt of the political heat for her position. And she loves every minute of it. But look how much support impeachment has behind the scenes. Not a full majority, but a growing number of GOP politicians are glad to work behind the scenes to make that a reality while letting her absorb all the consequences for it.
