Yes ha, TPM is now referring to her as a gun slinger.
OT found out today who my rep is when I saw a group of protesters downtown. Almost didn’t stop because I wasn’t sure who they were and if they were gun slingers, but now I know, they want to get rid of the traitor Ben Cline. I’m new here so hadn’t gotten acquainted with who the rep is. Hope the protests continue.
How does a low life nobody wind up with a coms director who worked for McConnell? How would she even have the connections? And don’t forget during one of her arrests she told the cops she had friends at Fox News. Delusional? Maybe. But it’s awfully suspicious when someone like this comes out of nowhere and becomes a member of Congress.
The career staffers tend to wander around between different folks as they work their way up. Since the politicians are always coming and going, there’s always a stash of staffers available who are looking for a new gig. Goldey was about to lose his gig at the Dept of Interior on administration change, so of course was looking.
ETA: Check out his LinkedIn. He’s a kid, just a few years in the political world working. Not some super-experienced hotshot that would be commanding great positions out there.
The secretary of the department of the interior under W. Bush was Gail Norton who hailed from Colorado. She was one of those borderline Bundy types who claimed that there was a “war on the west”.
So; Boebert, Madison and Marjorie were supposed to be the GOP’s response to the Democrat’s SQUAD?
She was given an experienced Communications Director…and still mucked it up.
New York Magazine has a piece on 25 year old Madison Cawthorn…the fool actually stated he believed that he and the aforementioned Knuckle-hoods could have actually STOPPED the riots He also spoke of Harry Potter…and this precious piece:
“I genuinely believe, had we realized what was going on and sent myself, or maybe Lauren Boebert”… “some of these people who are just very recognizable to, kind of, the MAGA crowd; in the wheelchair, I probably would’ve been better, because it’s very easily recognizable. I might’ve just gone to the front steps.” And there, facing the rioters, he said, “I think we could’ve stopped them.”
My understanding(?) is that it does not have to be a Supreme Court Justice conducting the procedure. Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his father, a justice of the peace. Why couldn’t Biden choose Judge Merrick?
“In a floor speech before the Capitol riot, Boebert referred to “having constituents outside this building right now” who she would support in opposition to Electoral College votes for Biden in Arizona and Pennsylvania.”
… …
I am personally insulted the Ms Bobert would question my vote. I hail from Tucson, AZ and voted LEGALLY. My vote counted. Mrs darr worked a temp job in our elections dept. and she reported no fraud for Pima county where we live. Since Ms Bobert offered a "thousand apologies " to a fellow Member she should have at least one spare left for me. She should also apologize to all residents of Arizona as she has maligned all of us whatever our political beliefs. She should resign, take her gun and go home.
