Turns out Lauren Boebert is even more off the rails than we thought

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.

House Republican Lauren Boebert is a lot of things, and none of them are good. She’s disturbingly gun-addicted. She helped incite the U.S. Capitol invasion and then repeatedly tweeted out the Speaker’s location while it was going on. Now it turns out she just plain doesn’t know how anything works.

Boebert posted this tweet: “I got my start working at McDonalds. That job doesn’t exist if the minimum wage is raised to $15 per hour. Small business would be crushed by this arbitrary mandate & big business would simply automate away jobs. Not everything that SOUNDS good is actually good in practice.”

Wait a minute here. She thinks that McDonald’s is a small business? Does she think that the McDonald’s she worked at is just some local restaurant, and not a multibillion dollar chain? Does she really think that McDonald’s would go under if the minimum wage were raised? Either she has no brain, or she’s adept at pretending she has no brain. Either way, she’s 100% unfit to be in Congress. We doubt she was fit to work at McDonald’s either.
