Boebert was told to make that apology. Her initial reaction was telling.

“Um, I’ve never said your name in public, @ RepBoebert. Never. Not once. (If you’re going to be a gun nut, you probably shouldn’t go off half cocked.)"

Is it any wonder I keep confusing “Lauren Boebert” with “Lorena Bobbitt”?

Oh, I recognize this behavior. Because I raised two teenagers. This Congress is going to be more insufferable than usual.

YA irresponsible, unqualified nut sitting in our House of Representatives. What does this say about those who elect these people? A rhetorical question, I know. Can we start giving psychological exams to these folks before they are sitting in Congress?

Jeez, protest too much Boebert? He could have been referring to any one of a dozen insurrectionist, violent, crazy people who have been in congress for all of five fucking seconds and are already threatening the lives of all their colleagues.

Those attendees at your catering gigs still have diarrhea, Rep. Immodium?

This is it. If you haven’t been accused, and still feel a need to proclaim your innocence, you’re probably not innocent.

The FBI should consider this to be a tip.

I’m certain that if the rioters had gotten into the House Floor while Representatives were there she would have aided the rioters, not her “colleagues”.

Expect to see this person make more apologies for her “half-cocked” statements and behavior.

And she better learn to follow the rules that the majority sets for the chamber. Or she’ll find her broke ass out on the streets.

Rules do matter.

It sure seems to me like publicly announcing that you’re going to illegally carry a firearm forms the basis of reasonable suspicion for any cop to search this moron anytime she’s out in public. Pat her down, Capitol po-pos.
