This a what you get when you elect a crazy gun nut with a rap sheet. She also used the word “bullcrap” on the House floor. She’s one classy lady!

Effingham Lawrence, Louisiana. 1 day.

Happened after the Civil War, and there were so many lawsuits, that by the time they were resolved and he was declared the winner, he had already lost the next election, so he only got to serve 1 day.

He added that he had no evidence that any members of the tour participated in the insurrection a few days later.

I would imagine the Capitol is full of cameras. Shouldn’t be that difficult for the FBI to identify who was in that group.

I didn’t think Republicans were into cloning people.
Boebert is very obviously a clone of Palin.
Also has the same pugnacious attitude, but that seems to be a trait among the GOP.

“Boebert’s office did not immediately respond to TPM’s questions.”

Refreshing, really, not to have to listen to the little fascist whine about how she’s being persecuted. Maybe she finally got a clue and decided to just STFU.

It bothers me to no end that this congress person hails from my state. However, she’s a brand new congress critter and “a few days before the riots” would have likely been her first day in the Capitol. This could be what it looks like, or it could be that she was giving the boebert clan a tour of her new job. I’d love it if she got kicked out of Congress, but I think in this specific situation, its equally likely that she was giving her family a tour.

She may need to resign so she can spend more time with her delusions.

This explains why she got so bent out of shape when she previously thought that she’d been called out for doing the same thing, but hadn’t. And the failure of her office to respond to a question about this speaks volumes.

Suggests that we’re closing in on the paperwork that will be used to identify the visitors for sure. Unless there are actual text messages discussing the insurrection plans, Boebert likely has plausible deniability, but the weapons issues may well be her undoing.

If only they had cameras everywhere and could track all cell phones in the Capitol…
