    I don’t see how this ends well for MTG unless it’s ignored?

    MTG wins: she’s just assaulted another politician who happens to be a woman.

    McBride wins: MTG is humiliated and while complaining that “she’s really a man” — that will only resonate with people who already agree with MTG. Possibly the goal is to get McBride charged with assault?

      Spot on. There’s no winning for McBride here; if she does kick MTG’s ass, then that’s all the more reason for Republicans to go after “men” in women’s sports.
