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?
No, they don't compare. MTG actually has sway in the House and McCarthy has her in his circle (because McCarthy is about as steady on his positions as a fart in the wind) whereas AOC was seen by Pelosi as an annoyance.
