Lauren Boebert is confused
House Republican Lauren Boebert has barely been in Congress for two weeks, but already things seem to be unraveling for her. She’s facing calls for investigation, after she incited the Capitol attackers from the House floor, and then repeatedly tweeted the Speaker’s location during the attack. Her Communications Director just resigned over the incident.
In spite of all this, Boebert is still trying to push her message – whatever it may be. The trouble is that she either doesn’t know anything about what’s happened in government over the past four years, or she does know and she hasn’t figured out how to convincingly lie about it.
For instance, Boebert tweeted this today: “Biden campaigned on being bipartisan but is planning to spend his first week signing a flurry of executive orders to bypass Congress.” She goes on to cite issues such as the Paris Climate Accord and immigration. The thing is, it was Trump who radically altered those policies with executive orders to begin with, and Biden is merely reinstating what the law said to begin with before Trump screwed with it.
Lauren Boebert is confused, about everything. The House floor isn’t a place to go around carrying a gun. Inciting violence isn’t the way to go. And it’s not President Biden who’s being abusive with executive orders. It’s time for Boebert to resign.
