AOC Shreds Lauren Boebert As A ‘Useless Piece Of Furniture’ For Her Statement On The Texas School Shooting

As is so often the case when there’s a mass shooting in the United States, the vast majority of Republican political figures in the U.S. offered up the usual thoughts and prayers while failing to address the larger problem of guns, anger, and violence which permeates this country like a metastatic form of cancer that sits dormant in people for years and then one day takes the form of a horrific tumor which spreads like wildfire and consumes the innocent in a flash of hatred and self-loathing.

In Uvalde, Texas, 19 young children and two teachers were shot and killed Tuesday, once again leaving the country stunned, terrified, and sick to its soul.

Into this open wound steps Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), who owns a bar where the servers are encouraged to openly carry weapons.

Here’s what Congresswoman Boebert had to say about the Uvalde massacre:

Maybe not, but you can sure and as hell make it tougher for those who wish to do evil to acquire weapons of mass murder.

Keep in mind that this is the very same Lauren Boebert who posed fully armed with her children for a Christmas photo last year.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY was in no mood to hear Boebert’s empty homilies, and she made that clear in her response.

Others on social media then joined the debate, and they too had plenty to tell the Colorado Republican.

Clearly, thoughts and prayers are not going to do the job. But thanks to Boebert and her ilk in Congress, we are NEVER going to get the job done, and that means in the very near future we are going to turn on the TV or look at our phones and see news of yet another mass shooting.

You can’t legislate away evil, Lauren, but you can sure as hell vote it the out of office and send it back to the rock it crawled out from under.
