There might be an innocent explanation for this. If so we need to hear it.

She is sworn in as a member of Congress on January 3, and knows her way around well enough to immediately start giving tours of the Capitol ā¦ strange.

Some crazies, like this piece of shit, ran with the hope to get elected with the only goal being to be so incendiary that they eventually get removed. Soon, we will be able to see what the overlap was between the tour members and the insurrectionists. If there is overlap, then her live-tweeting of Pelosiās location comes into focus, and she should be prosecuted.

Sheās a rookie congress member - just sworn in days before. The idea of her conducting tours is questionable on so many levels.
First and foremost - itās my understanding that the Capitol is closed to tours because of the pandemic so of course her activities on that front would be noticed. In addition - who were these āconstituentsā that travelled from her area for the tour?
Itās also hard to imagine her knowing her way around well enough to conduct tours in the first place unless she herself had maps, which as a newbie member she probably did.

Ben Sasse wrote an op-ed in The Atlantic how QAnon is destroying the Republican party.
Iām not very confident that many in his party will listen.
They make look at it as a chance to grow the party.

Just btw, remember that incoming congresscritters may bring some of their staff with them, but for the most part they recruit from a mass of DC congressional lifers. (A Deep State if you will.) So her staff, including the former communications director, probably arenāt as utter bugfsck crazy as she is.

That may well be true and maybe itās a pretty regular occurrence for new members to give tours to family members. It just seems odd to me that a new member would know enough about the place to be able to provide a tour beyond the very, very basics like āHereās the Senate chamber, House chamber, my office, etc.ā And maybe thatās all she did was just give family a really basic tour. It still doesnāt explain why they bypassed offices with nameplates to go to private, unmarked offices. Could be coincidence, sure, yet none of this feels coincidental. None of it.

In her defense, Lauren Boebert has poisoned many more of her constituents than she has shot. And she did earn her GED last year.

I would remind you that her communications director quit the other day. She is still interviewing replacements approved by her QAnon Shaman.

The far-right wing of the Republican party?
She seems to be fairly representative of the Republican party.

Does anyone recall having ever seen Lauren Boebert and Riley Williams together? Iām concerned that they are one in the same person.

Ruh roh. This might explain why she seemed so sure Rep. Maloney was talking about her when he mentioned no names related to tours given by members and staff before Jan. 6

Remember when all we had to worry about congress members was Mark Foleyās relationship with page boys and Jim Trafficant making special order speechās quoting Star Trek and getting censured.

Somebody provided intel to the rioters. It could have been anybody from Devin Nunes to Jim Jordon to Ron Johnson. All of the usual suspects have more than a passing familiarity with the Capitol building office layout.

Assuming that she had a map, it is difficult to imagine that she would not have shared it with her QAmom.

I believe freshman congressmen get orientation before they get sworn in. I have no idea of the detail involved or how likely she would know the lay of the land.

Completely agree. I really, really want to see nothing but bad things go her way. I just thought it was worth bringing up the possibility that there is an actual innocent explanation for a brand new congresscritter giving a tour on her first day on the job. If I were in her position, Iād probably have given my family the behind the curtains tour while they were in town to see me take my oath of office. That said, I hope itās what it looks like, and she spends a whole lot of time in jail.
