I admittedly don't follow all because I largely avoid social media and only ever occasionally peek at it for sports news, so maybe this is me being naive, but isn't she the public face of the Republican party as much as AoC is the public face of the Democratic party? They just get a lot of play on the news because they say stupid shit and the news knows that outrage brings rage clicks so they amplify everything they say?

For example, the only reason I know ANYTHING that Alex Jones has ever said is because I have a couple friends who talk about being outraged at or mocking some absurd shit he's said. If it weren't for the people I know who hate him, his name and anything he said would literally never make its way into my life. 

I have never heard of her in a non-outraged or non-mocking article, so is she really the face? Or just the media bait?
