Lisa McClain appears relatively normal

She appeared on the PBS NewsHour after the first day of embarrassment and after talking about "tyrant" Pelosi, had this to say

Debate is healthy. Debate is good. Disagreement is not disloyalty. When we both debate, that gets us closer together. Really, it doesn't get us farther apart, because what happens when you debate and you disagree, you begin to give and take, and the conference becomes stronger.

And, really, that's what I see. I don't want a one-party dictatorial leader. I want to be able to have debate and discussion. So I have a little bit different take, where I actually think this debate is actually good.

(snip)

And, again, I have been in business for 30 years. I have never had a deal where it's 100 percent me and zero you. That's no deal. In business and really in life, I get about 80 percent of what I want. You get about 80 percent of you want — of what you want. We both wish we got a little more, but, all in all, it's a good deal.

So I'm hopeful that, together, we can negotiate to get to 218, so we can get back to what the American people actually really want us to do. And that's get this country back on track, fix the problems at the border, fix the problems with inflation, fix the supply chain, become energy-independent again.

Her first week in office she voted not to certify the election of President Biden. She was chosen by the GOP for one reason - her rigid Catholic views on a woman's right to choose. Like Trump, she had zero experience.
