I suspect that personalities like Lauren Boebert, AOC, Iilhan Omar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, all do their acts for similar reasons.
I follow North Carolina congressman Democrat Jeff Jackson who has a big following on social and he said something a month or two ago that one thing he noticed is that all the big crazy ‘personalities’ seem to only act that way in sessions that are in front of TV cameras and actually are quite sane when the cameras aren’t rolling for committee sessions etc.
Here’s hoping for Alberta’s sake that it’s something similar for Danielle Smith.

Trouble is, a ton of the crazy stuff Smith says was meant to be in private to her insiders.
