For some time now, it’s been painfully obvious that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, and that her main “talent” as it were is saying stupid shit that leaves people shaking their heads in disbelief.
As you’d expect, the Colorado Republican spoke at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) convention in Orlando, Florida this weekend, but it was something she said after she’d finished her speech that set off a firestorm of mockery on Twitter.
Speaking with Fox Nation hosts Pete Hegseth and Kayleigh McEnany, Boebert was asked about the situation in Ukraine, where Russian troops have invaded and are now advancing on the capital city of Kyiv. She remarked:
Hey, that’s actually a great statement. Bobert deserves credit for that. We all wish the people of Ukraine the very best as they endure an attack from the Russian military.
But it was what Boebert said next that completely ruined her previous good work:
Apparently, Boebert thinks Canada needs “freedom” because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dared to clear a convoy of trucks that had been parked on a bridge leading to the United States. The reason for the so-called “Freedom Convoy” was supposedly because a tiny percentage of Canadian truck drivers (less than 10%) don’t want to get vaccinated for COVID, so they decided to punish the rest of the country to satisfy their own selfishness.
Though the vast majority of those who are currently reading this have never heard of Alex Walker, there’s an excellent chance you’ll never forget this name once you see the campaign ad he’s running in Colorado to be the Democratic nominee who faces incumbent Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert in November.
The video, which has quickly gone viral, The Daily Beast reports, is one of the best examples of edgy political advertising ever attempted by any candidate:
Political newcomer Alex Walker, the latest Democratic challenger to toss his hat into the ring to unseat MAGA-boosting Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), announced his presence with perhaps the most nauseating campaign ad ever. The two-minute online video that debuted Tuesday starts with a woman getting crushed by a giant pile of feces, followed by other townsfolk trying to avoid a literal storm of shit.
Yes, you read that correctly: A shitstorm. And it’s just as disgusting as you’d expect, but it’s also brilliant and hilarious, and it’s likely to make Alex Walker a household name in the Centennial State, especially when he promises to eliminate her “bullshit” if he’s elected:
Eventually, Walker emerges and picks up a soiled teddy bear before announcing he has joined a crowded race to defeat the mudslinging congresswoman. “We are real Coloradans. We deserve a living wage, small government that actually works, and freedom of choice,” he says. “Instead, we have bullshit.”
The tagline for Walker’s ad is also sure to resonate with voters:
For anyone who has forgotten, here’s some of the bullshit that Boebert has been spewing since she took office:
Shit! The woman is crazy. She needs to be replaced ASAP.
Since she arrived in Congress and opened her mouth to speak the first time, it’s been painfully clear that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is one the dumbest people on the planet.
But something she said Friday evening during an appearance on Fox News is so ignorant that it’s a wonder Ms. Bobert is allowed out in public without assistance.
Mediaite reports that Boebert told Fox host Jesse Watters:
If Boebert wants to see a real cult, she doesn’t have to look any further than the QAnon nuts she has repeatedly failed to criticize.
Watters asked the congresswoman:
Boebert’s response proved just how utterly clueless and out of touch she is:
“All of the mandates are dropping in D.C. Except for in the people’s house. And, in fact, Jesse, you won’t be seeing my face, with or without a mask, in the people’s house because only 25 members of each body of Congress are allowed to join the State of the Union.
“This is a joint address of Congress and only 25 members from each body will be able to attend. I’m just curious to see which 25 are trampling over each opener to go see Joe Biden stumble and Jill escort him off the dais.”
All members of Congress have been invited to watch, in person, President Biden’s upcoming State of the Union address — a dramatic departure from his speech to Congress last year, for which seating capacity was capped at about 20% as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Of course, no one will miss Boebert if she doesn’t show up for the State of the Union, and there’s certainly a chance she won’t, because if she does she’ll be required to wear a protective mask. We all know how the Trumppublicans absolutely hate to put on a mask, even though doing so is one of the best ways to help control spread of the COVID virus.
Poor Lauren Boebert. No one takes the Colorado Republican congresswoman seriously because she’s a educationally-challenged clown who barely passed the GED exam shortly after she was elected.
Despite that, many on the right-wing of the GOP love to tout Boebert’s devotion to the Second Amendment and the fact that she’s easy on the eyes, which is always a big deal for male Republicans who can’t get enough of the blonde female hosts on Fox News.
Matter of fact, Boebert just won an award for being the “Hottest Woman in Congress,” which came complete with a gift certificate to Red Lobster and a nice framed certificate. Here, see for yourself:
Lauren Boebar? Must have been a poorly educated Trump supporter who was in charge of printing the certificate.
What comes to mind when you hear the name of Lauren Boebert, the Republican congresswoman from the state of Colorado? Bigoted? Narrow-minded? Angry? Obtuse? Probably those and many others, none of them positive.
But according to Bobert herself, the first thing that should pop into your head is an image of Jesus.
Yes, she actually said that.
Speaking with Mike Huckabee on Newsmax, Boebert began by explaining why she ran for Congress in the first place:
That led Huckabee to note that Boebert isn’t “afraid to speak openly about your faith and how it defines you.” He then added:
“You’re not timid and you’re not afraid to let people know that you are a Christian believer and that that’s what gives you your core values. Do you find that people sometimes are wanting you to say just tone it down a little bit, Congresswoman? Just tone it down. Do you hear that?”
The congresswoman responded:
Not content with having compared herself to Jesus, Boebert continued:
“And now here we are in another cycle of cancel culture but this is nothing new. Cancel culture has been around since the beginning of time. Cain canceled Abel. We had Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that were thrown into the fiery furnace. King Nebuchadnezzar wanted to cancel them but there stood another in the midst of them and He was the son of God.
“And then they tried to cancel Jesus but you can’t cancel God!”
Holy shit! Is this woman serious?! If so, it’s quite clear she hasn’t actually read the New Testament or she would have immediately noted that Jesus preached one thing above all others. It’s known as the Golden Rule:
Do unto others as you would have done unto you. That’s the most fundamental teaching of Jesus and is supposed to be a major tenet for all Christians.
And yet, Boebert constantly attacks others, belittles those she disagrees with, and makes herself the center of attention. None of those are what Jesus urged his followers to do.
Lauren Bobert is a hypocrite. And here’s what Jesus said about hypocrites:
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” (Matthew 23:27-28)
Sounds just like a certain member of Congress from Colorado, doesn’t it?
