It’s not easy being Lauren Boebert. After all, the Colorado Republican congresswoman isn’t really bright enough to use a cell phone, and yet she owns one and uses it to post regularly on social media.
And that’s how Boebert got busted using her iPhone as she was posting a tweet criticizing Apple for daring to suggest the company might remove Twitter from the App Store because extremist content on the social media site has skyrocketed since Elon Musk bought Twitter last month.
As the Washington Post reported Monday:
Elon Musk on Monday went on a tear against Apple, Twitter’s top advertiser, after he said the company threatened to block the social network from its App Store without explanation and mostly had stopped advertising on Twitter.
Apple hasn’t confirmed any plans to pull Twitter, and since Musk is known to fabricate “facts” in order to generate buzz on the site, there’s some doubt as to whether or not there’s an ounce of credibility to his tweet.
But that didn’t stop Boebert from threatening Apple on Twitter, as caught by Ron Filipkowski:
That set off a wave of mockery aimed directly at the Colorado Republican, all of it well-deserved.
