Lauren Boebert Gets Endlessly Mocked After Her ‘Blessings Of America’ Rant Goes Awry

It’s so incredibly easy to make fun of Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, and a big part of the reason is because she constantly gives us all the material we need to mock and belittle her.

A perfect example of that was provided by Boebert on Thursday as part of speech she was giving in which she reeled off a list of the things that make Americans patriotic and every citizen should be eager to do in order to secure the “blessings of America.”

“I will do what’s right. I don’t care if it costs me an election,” Boebert said. “I don’t care if the school principal gets mad at me or the county commissioners get upset at me, or if the flight attendant kicks me off the plane.”

“I will do what’s right and answer the call because without righteous men and women, without patriots taking a stand for this country, our children, and our children’s children will not benefit the blessings of America.”

Yes, my fellow Americans, if you’re not willing to make the supreme sacrifice of being booted from a flight because you refuse to wear a mask, then you’ve betrayed the sacred principles set forth in the Constitution by Jefferson and Madison, both of whom will spin like proverbial ceiling fans in their graves as a result of your cowardice.

Or, as Paul Revere might have said if he could time travel: The stewardess is coming; the stewardess is coming!

Critics seized on Bobert’s moronic remarks and lit her up with mockery.

Nicolle Wallace Has The Perfect Description Of Jim Jordan’s Hearing In Manhattan

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace saw part of the “field hearing” held by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and the House Judiciary Committee today in Manhattan, and she summed up the event with two words that perfectly sum up the production: Clown show.

Wallace began by noting that the entire production had been a big gamble that failed badly for Jordan and his GOP colleagues.

“Whether all of this is really what Republicans should be doing with their time even in front of their own viewers and voters they got an authentic New York City welcome today in that they were routinely shouted at in the hallway. Something Jim Jordan could have avoided if he had chosen a different location — like one with higher crime rates if that was his ostensible point today, for instance. Or maybe traveling just south of Jordan’s own district, Columbus, Ohio, perhaps where the crime rate is about three times that of New York City.”

The Manhattan “clown show,” Wallace continued, wasn’t really about crime or trying to solve any real problem that confronts the American people.

“It was about keeping their boss Donald J. Trump happy about showing him, Donald J. Trump, that no political stunt is too idiotic or illogical or unjustified to appease his badly damaged ego.”

New York Times congressional reporter Luke Broadwater agreed, noting, “There were witnesses called by the House Republicans, who, most of them are outspoken critics of Alvin Bragg. Many of them have actually really horror stories. You know, a loved one who was killed in the city or a relative who was the victim of an anti-Semitic attack, things like this. But they have since become outspoken critics of Alvin Bragg. So, they were chosen for those reasons. And that did present some times where Democrats were saying essentially, we feel your pain, we understand your case.”

WATCH Lauren Boebert Repeatedly Ask About ‘Public Urination’ During A Bizarre House Hearing 

It appears that Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has piss on the brain. And no, that’s not a joke, even though she most certainly is.

During a bizarre House Oversight hearing on Wednesday, Boebert grilled Washington, D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen about the laws regarding public urination in the District.

The topic was supposed to be proposed changes to the D.C. criminal code, which led Boebert to inquire, “In November of 2022, you led the charge to reform D.C.’s crime laws. And these charges, these changes, are now law here in D.C., correct?”

Allen: “No, those are not the law.”

Boebert then asked:

“Those are not the law?”

Allen: “You (Congress) overturned them.”

“Mr. Allen, did you or did you not decriminalize public urination in Washington, D.C.?” Boebert asked.

Allen: “No, we did not.”

Despite Allen’s reply, Boebert once again asked, “Did you lead the charge to decriminalize public urination in Washington, D.C.?” 

“No, ma’am,” Allen replied.

Boebert: “Did you ever vote in favor of decriminalizing public urination in Washington, D.C.?” 

Allen: “The revised criminal code that was passed by the council kept it as a criminal offense.”

“We have records that show that you were in favor of removing that criminal offense and allowing public urination,” Boebert sniped.

Allen insisted once again, “No.”

It didn’t take long before Twitter lit up with mockery and derision aimed right at Congresswoman Bobo.

Matt Gaetz Gets Shredded When He Quotes From A Chinese ‘Propaganda’ Publication: Video

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) thoroughly humiliated himself during a session of the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, quoting from a Chinese state-run publication to “prove” that U.S. aid to Ukraine was being used improperly.

Gaetz was questioning Colin H. Kahl, Under Secretary of Defense, and he asked the official:

“How about CIA? Are they training folks in Ukraine?”

Kahl replied:

“Not going to talk about that in an unclassified setting. Happy to talk about that further in the classified briefings.”

Gaetz then inquired, “Is the Azov battalion getting access to U.S. weapons?”

Kahl:

“Not that I’m aware of, but. If you have information…”

The Florida Republican announced:

“I intend to enter into the record The Global Times investigative report that talks about training. It’s from the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensics Research Lab. Citing the Azov battalion was even getting stuff as far back as 2018.”

After the article had been entered into the record, Gaetz asked Kahl:

“Any reason to disagree with that assessment?”

Kahl responded:

“Is this the, I’m sorry, is this the Global Times from China?”

Gaetz: “No, this is…”

Kahl: “Well, that’s what you read.”

Clearly unsure of what he had read, Gaetz was forced to admit, “Yeah, it might be, yeah. Would that be a reason?”

Kahl told the congressman:

“I as a general matter, I don’t take Beijing’s propaganda at face value.”

Rather than move on, Gaetz asked Kahl: “Yeah. Just tell me if. If the allegation is true or false, I mean.”

Kahl reiterated what he had just said:

“I don’t have any evidence one way or the other. As a general matter, I don’t take Beijing’s propaganda at face value.”

Before moving on to another topic, Gaetz remarked:

“Fair, fair enough. I would agree with that assessment.”

Could it be any clearer that Matt Gaetz is a complete idiot?

Lauren Boebert Walks Into A Massive Self-Own When She Tries To Give Americans A Civics Lesson

If you thought you’d seen and heard all of the laughable ignorance that can possibly come from Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, she outdid herself today, and it resulted in one of the most humiliating (and hilarious) self-owns you’ll ever encounter.

For some reason, Boebert decided that she’d offer a lesson in civics to everyone on Twitter, posting this:

“This is your daily reminder that America is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy.”

Is Boebert right? Nope.

Yes, we are indeed a Constitutional Republic, but if we weren’t also a democracy, then what would be the point of the republic?

As the Washington Post rightly noted in a 2015 article:

The United States is not a direct democracy, in the sense of a country in which laws (and other government decisions) are made predominantly by majority vote. Some lawmaking is done this way, on the state and local levels, but it’s only a tiny fraction of all lawmaking. But we are a representative democracy, which is a form of democracy.

[…]

To be sure, in addition to being a representative democracy, the United States is also a constitutional democracy, in which courts restrain in some measure the democratic will. And the United States is therefore also a constitutional republic. Indeed, the United States might be labeled a constitutional federal representative democracy. But where one word is used, with all the oversimplification that this necessary entails, “democracy” and “republic” both work. Indeed, since direct democracy — again, a government in which all or most laws are made by direct popular vote — would be impractical given the number and complexity of laws that pretty much any state or national government is expected to enact, it’s unsurprising that the qualifier “representative” would often be omitted. Practically speaking, representative democracy is the only democracy that’s around at any state or national level.

Long story short: The United States is a republic governed by the Constitution, but it’s also a democracy because we elect those who represent us to make the laws by which we’re all governed.

So Boebert is wrong yet again, which isn’t surprising when you consider that she needed multiple attempts before she passed the GED high school equivalency exam.

Twitter users couldn’t resist reminding the Colorado Republican that she had once again managed to prove her own ignorance.
