The press secretary for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on Wednesday sent an unreal “cease and desist” order to the creator of a parody website poking fun at the gun-toting, QAnon-sympathizing congresswoman, threatening further legal action if it isn’t taken down.
GOPers seem congenitally unable to understand First Amendment law. It’s like that has to be a prerequisite to become a member of the party.
D’oh-bert!
Yep. Jake is an idiot.
Which villages in Georgia are missing their idiots?
Moooove over Devin…
Satire, We Hardly Knew Ye!
If anything, Sprigman sees a potential copyright lawsuit waged against the parody creator as just bringing attention to the website that mockingly outlines why the congresswoman actually shouldn’t be in Congress.
“If she wants people to understand more comprehensively, why she shouldn’t be in Congress representing the citizens of the United States citizens of Colorado, she can do that by drawing attention to this website,” he said. “So, you know, just on a practical level, I’m not sure why she’d want to do that.”
They never seem to learn that threatening a parody site is the #1 way to get it more attention.
Best comment on the site for the ‘Cease & Desist’ letter:
Meh. Just respond by saying you are a sovereign citizen and you don’t recognize the federal government. They love that sort of talk.
Well, I certainly didn’t know about that website until now, and of course I clicked on it. So, great job Press Secretary Jake Settle!
Morton also shared a screenshot of the email he received from Settle, which claims that the website violated “copyrighted property of the U.S. Federal Government.”
“They are property of the office of Congressman Lauren Boebert, and use of them is unauthorized and illegal,” Settle wrote to Morton. “Additionally, the entire website is a defamatory impersonation, and it goes against relevant terms of service and U.S. law. Please remove it immediately or face further action.”
Boebert is in Colorado, but you’re correct in general.
Ah…THIS is the dark-haired one that lives in Colorado. The bottle blonde lives in Georgia.
That is Section 105 of the Copyright Act that says that works of the U.S. government don’t receive copyright protections.
Things they don’t teach you in GED school.
Re: Copyright (o-t)
Boebert is a toilet witch, a low life in high heels, The Mad Woman of Madness. She continues to make a fool of herself. Have at it!!
Considering the VERY unsavory past of this looney AND her creepy husband, it’s amazing that she wants to call attention to the website.
She’s armed with bullets, not brains.
The fact that Boebert is in Congress suggests that she is smarter than the majority of her constituents.
That should be a frightening thought.
