for you is: What should she have done? I think many (myself included)are over the "When they go low, we go high" mindset. Mind you, it's classy, appropriate, and professional. I'm just tired and over it. There are times when you have to stand up and fight fire with fire. The comment MTG made was an insult and uncalled for. I thought her clapback was masterful. It accomplished two things:
1. She showed Comer's ineptness and inconsistency.
2. She delivered the clap back heard around the world.
Is it the merch aspect that bothers you both? The clap back? Both?
It is unfortunate that this is state Congress is in--but we arrived here a bit ago. Unless there is a leader in charge to hold everyone accountable and people behave professionally--it won't get better. If I were Comer do you know what I would have done? I would have announced to MTG that she is now excused from the meeting and she can either leave voluntarily or she will be escorted out.
That way you send a message what will not be tolerated and show the consequences. Bonus: It would be embarrassing to see her escorted out. And I know it would be unprecedented but she was being disruptive. Remove the distraction.
