Proving yet again that she has absolutely zero self-awareness and no sense of shame whatsoever, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) walked right into a humiliating self-own yesterday when she went on Twitter and began whining about the House preparing to take up military aid to Ukraine.
On Wednesday, the Washington Post reports, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced there will indeed be debate and votes on sending aid to Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine.
“Johnson now intends to try to pass five bills — one each for aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Indo-Pacific allies, as well as a GOP wish list of foreign policy priorities and a fifth stand-alone bill to address widespread Republican demands to strengthen the southern U.S. border. GOP leadership announced that the House would stay in session until Saturday to consider the bills.”
Johnson’s move has infuriated some of the right-wing extremists in the GOP who want to deny aid to Ukraine and allow Russia to continue its unprovoked invasion of the country, which has already resulted in the deaths of 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers and over 10,000 civilians.
The upcoming vote on foreign aid didn’t sit well with Boebert, who made her anger public via Twitter. But the words she used came back to bite her right on the butt.
As you may recall, back in September of 2023, Boebert and her date were ejected from a theater where a musical production of “Beetlejuice,” was being held, reportedly for vaping, being loud and obnoxious, and groping each other even though young children were sitting nearby.
Online mockery and trolling of Boebert’s “theatre” reference ricocheted across social media in response to her post.
