Can she really be this stupid, or dies she think her base is this stupid. Either way, this is dumbfuck stupid even for a republucan.
IMO a lot of them are con artists pandering to gullible and paranoid idiots, but I think that Lauren Boebert really IsSoDumb. With enough gullible and paranoid idiots being pandered to for long enough it was inevitable that some would imagine themselves competent and that some of those would get elected by other gullible and paranoid idiots.
Rep. Lauren Boebert had made a speech from the House floor hinting at improprieties by Democratic lawmakers, Rep. Ilhan Omar included.
In an unhinged speech from the floor of the House of Representatives Wednesday, Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert called the censure vote of fellow Republican Paul Gosar “a dumb waste of the House’s time.”
“But since the Speaker has designated the floor to discuss members’ inappropriate actions,” she added, “shall we?” Boebert went on to refer to a “Jihad Squad member from Minnesota” who paid her husband more than $1 million in campaign funds.
The congresswoman was referring to a recent report from Fox News that Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly paid E Street Group LLC, the political consultancy firm owned by husband Tim Mynett, more than $2.8 million during the 2019-2020 election cycle.
While not calling Omar by name, Boebert also said, “This member is allowed on the Foreign Affairs Committee while praising terrorists,” seemingly referring to a tweet in June in which the Democratic lawmaker mentioned “unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.” According to the BBC, Omar clarified her remark days later, saying, “I was in no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries with well-established judicial systems.”
... Boebert accused another California Democrat, Eric Swalwell, of sleeping with a Chinese spy....
Boebert’s spouse, Jayson Boebert, was arrested in 2004 for exposing himself to two young women at a Colorado bowling alley, according to The Daily Mail. The then-24-year-old man was sentenced to four days in jail and two years probation.
Lauren Boebert — who was present and 17 at the time — is, like her husband, reportedly no longer welcome at that bowling alley.
Wow, that's pretty bad when rednecks are banned from a bowling alley.
Gosar, an Arizona congressman, was censured Wednesday by the House of Representatives for tweeting a doctored anime video depicting him killing New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Guardian is reporting that just minutes after being censured, the Arizona Republican retweeted the same video.
