Nancy Pelosi prepares to drop the hammer on Lauren Boebert

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Consequences are not something the GOP is that fond of, at least as it relates to them. Kevin McCarthy and his klan would instead do nothing as the behavior of House Republicans gets crazier and crazier. But we have Warrior Pelosi. And according to multiple reports, she is preparing to act.

Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota says she is confident Pelosi will act shortly to impose consequences for Boebert and her toxic and hateful words. Omar has also called McCarthy a “liar” and a “coward” for not doing — well — anything except stand silently by, his tongue apparently in the cat’s captivity.

What’s a feckless McCarthy to do? It isn’t his fault (sarcasm.) Dozens of Democrats have called for Boebert to be stripped of her committee assignments and also censored.

Omar speaking with CNN’s Jake Tapper, said this: “It’s important for us to say, this kind of language, this kind of hate, cannot be condoned by the House of Representatives.”

“And we should punish and sanction Boebert by stripping her of her committees, by rebuking her language, by doing everything that we can to send a clear and decisive message to the American public that if the Republicans are not going to be adults and — condemn this, that we are going to do that.”

So we will wait to see what the great warrior does. Boebert needs consequences, and she needs them badly. We need to send a message that hate speech is not tolerated anywhere but especially in Congress.
