As extreme winter weather grips much of the United States, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) thought it was the perfect to remind us that she needed multiple tries to pass the GED exam because her knowledge of meteorology and science is so miniscule that she cannot help but prove her ignorance whenever she tries to make one of snarky fact-free remarks.
On Sunday, Boebert posted this on Twitter/X:
You’ve got to appreciate the irony of climate protestors trudging through a foot of snow and -30 degree wind chills to yell about how the planet is warming.
As NASA has noted on the subject of climate change and weather, the two are not the same:
Some people say “weather is what you get” and “climate is what you expect.” In a nutshell, “weather” refers to the more local changes in the climate we see around us, on short timescales from minutes to hours to days to weeks. Examples are familiar – rain, snow, clouds, winds, storms, heat waves and floods. “Climate” refers to longer-term averages (they may be regional or global), and can be thought of as the weather averaged over several seasons, years or decades. Climate change is harder for us to get a sense of because the timescales involved are much longer, and the impact of climate changes can be less immediate.
But trying to explain scientific facts to a willfully ignorant dunce like Ms. Boebert is a losing proposition. Despite that, plenty of social media users were only too happy to point out just how thoroughly the Colorado Republican had just owned herself.
Big surprise Notorious GED doesn't know the difference between weather & climate.
I would ask you to respond to this data but you don’t know how to @laurenboebert because you got your GED after taking your instructor to his third musical. pic.twitter.com/wKQl8LNkg3
That is what Trump would say every winter. He was wrong. You are wrong. Extreme weather is a result of climate change. It is snowing in Mississippi. Our produce is freezing. And you are busy giving hand jobs in front of kids.
The irony is your misunderstanding of global warming. It’s not just about the Earth getting hotter; it’s about extreme weather patterns as the Earth tries to adapt. This includes intensified cold spells, erratic rainfall, heavy snow, and more, all symptoms of climate change.
Controversial Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R) is once again in the headlines, this time for allegedly striking her ex-husband, Jayson, and is under police investigation for the crime of domestic violence.
Roger Sollenberger of The Daily Beast reports the incident took place in a Colorado restaurant on Saturday evening.
The Silt Police Department confirmed an “active investigation” in a phone call Saturday night, but would not comment further. A Boebert aide told The Daily Beast that no one was arrested.
According to the aide, on Saturday, Jayson Boebert had called the police to the Miner’s Claim restaurant in Silt, claiming that he was a “victim of domestic violence.” The aide emphasized that Lauren Boebert denies any allegation of domestic violence on her part, and that the events as depicted in social media posts on Saturday were not accurate.
The social media reports referenced were first made via posts from the anti-Boebert Super PAC “American Muckrakers,” who spelled out exactly what is alleged to have taken place between the Boeberts.
Breaking and sad news out of Silt, CO. @laurenboebert punched her ex-husband Jayson in the nose 2 times and then continued to beat him up. Then she called the cops on him. As much as I despise her, it's just sad for the boys. Jayson has a witness. More to come.
“This is a sad situation for all that keeps escalating and another reason I’m moving. I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested. I will be consulting with my lawyer about the false claims he made against me and evaluate all of my legal options.”
Boebert’s reference to “moving” is her plan to change districts so the she can more easily win reelection.
An aide to the congresswoman attempted to downplay the incident, but also provided some interesting details regarding what her boss alleges happened.
In the early evening on Saturday, the aide said, it was already getting physical. Lauren Boebert had driven to her ex-husband’s house to pick up one of her sons for dinner at her mother’s house. Jayson Boebert was home, the aide said, and as Lauren Boebert and her son were leaving for the car, he tried to move in close to hug her; she put her hand on his chest to keep him back, the aide said.
As Lauren Boebert described it, the aide said, she tried again to keep him back and in the process “put her hand in his face, put her hand on his nose.”
The aide also alleges that Jayson Boebert was “being disrespectful,” “being an asshole,” and getting “lewd.”
Jayson Boebert “made a motion” towards his ex-wife, “to grab her.” It was “an aggressive move, not romantic,” the aide relayed.
The ex-husband sounded contrite, telling a reporter:
“I made a mistake. We both overreacted. I only want what’s best for [the] boys and I still love her very much. We both share some hurt deep down inside … It seems we just keep pushing each other further apart.”
“I want the best for her,” he added. “It’s probably just best that I remain silent.”
What neither of the Boeberts bothered to explain is that this is simply how white trash acts. Granted, it’s ugly and makes most people cringe in revulsion, but you can’t expect any better from lowlifes.
Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert wants us to believe that reason she recently had to change congressional districts is because Hollywood celebrities like Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds.
Business Insider reports that Boebert made her comments during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast.
“We have to shut down the Hollywood elites who are trying to buy my current district,” Boebert began, adding:
“There has been close to $10 million poured into this district to buy this seat. Colorado’s 3rd District is not for sale.”
Next came mention of Streisand and Reynolds.
“When you have Barbra Streisand coming in and donating to the Democrat, when you have Ryan Reynolds coming in and donating to the Democrat, it shows you that Hollywood is trying to buy their way into Congress.”
Boebert made similar comments in November, posting on Twitter/X:
With the end-of-month deadline upon us, I'm asking each and every one of you for help ensuring my campaign has the resources to win.
If we lose Colorado's 3rd District, the House is in MAJOR jeopardy of falling into Democrat hands.
According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Streisand and Reynolds have each donated $1,500 to help defeat Boebert.
Just last week, Boebert formally announced she would be running in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. It’s considered to be more conservative than the 3rd District which she currently represents.
Additionally, Boebert’s Democratic opponent in District 3, Adam Frisch is dramatically outpacing her in fundraising, which is the key to a successful campaign.
Frisch raised a staggering $7.7 million, according to FEC reports. Boebert has only been able to muster $2.4 million in political contributions.
Having seen her poll numbers continue to fall and sensing that she is toast in the 2024 election, controversial Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert announced Wednesday that she will be switching districts in a desperate attempt to win another two-year term in the House of Representatives.
HuffPost reports that Boebert made the announcement via a video posted on Facebook.
Boebert implied in the video that her departure from the district would help Republicans retain the seat, saying, “I will not allow dark money that is directed at destroying me personally to steal this seat. It’s not fair to the 3rd District and the conservatives there who have fought so hard for our victories.”
“We have to protect our majority in the House,” she said.
Boebert’s sudden shift to another district comes just three months after a self-inflicted humiliation in which she was caught on video groping her date at a theater production of “Bettletjuice” in Denver. The congresswoman and her acquaintance were booted from the theater for their behavior. She later offered a non-apology apology and saw her poll numbers plummet among likely voters.
The congresswoman made reference to the theater incident in her Wednesday post, noting, “I’ve made my own personal mistakes and have owned up and apologized for them.”
That apology, however, clearly wasn’t enough to convince voters in her district that she could be trusted to represent them, and her change of location means she’ll probably win reelection, as the new district is the Colorado’s most conservative.
However, Boebert still faces the lingering stench of her own detestable public behavior and highly controversial stances on issues such as abortion, immigration, and the federal budget.
President Joe Biden had a laugh at the expense of Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert during an interview on a progressive podcast, suggesting that the controversial Boebert doesn’t give much thought to the patently ridiculous things she says before she spouts off.
Speaking with Ben Meiselas of the anti-Trump Meidas Touch PAC, Biden was shown remarks Boebert made about the Inflation Reduction Act.
Meiselas told the president:
“We’re at the CS Wind turbine factory, the largest wind turbine factory in the world.”
“You were talking about the Inflation Reduction Act and jobs being brought to cities and communities across the United States of America and here in Pueblo. And the MAGA Republican representative, though, of Pueblo, Colorado, is MAGA Republican Lauren Boebert, and she gives the alternative position there on the Inflation Reduction Act.
“And she says that the Inflation Reduction Act is a massive failure. And she said that it is another con by the Democrats. If I can. I want to show you a video of MAGA Republican Lauren Boebert talking. I apologize in advance for even showing this to you.”
Cue the video of Boebert, railing on the House floor: “And it does the exact opposite of what Americans need right now! This is just another con game by the Democrats calling something one thing.”
That led Biden to comment:
“If it weren’t so important, it’d be humorous! What’d she call it, a massive failure? The only massive failure occurs in her thinking. The idea that in her own district. We’ve created so many new, good-paying jobs. And by the way, it’s generating economic growth across the board was the board. And when people get a good job, what they do is they have an opportunity to spend on things that their, basic needs for themselves. And by the way, we cut the deficit by $7 billion. The idea that she’s talking about this being a massive failure, I don’t get it. I don’t know whether they just don’t understand anything or whether or not they, in fact, are.”
The president added:
“I hope she comes back here and tells the people in this factory the largest wind turbine factory in the world, that this is a massive stimulus. So just to invite her to come back. Come back and tell the folks back home. This is a massive failure. Tell the folks back home that all we’ve done to generate economic growth is not worth it. And I’d like to ask explain how she supports not taxing billionaires more than 8%. I have trouble explaining that again. I probably shouldn’t waste my time trying to.”
The latest polls from Boebert’s district suggest she’s in big trouble come November, as her challenger, Adam Frisch, is raising tons of campaign money and polling well against the incumbent. Here’s hoping that means Boebert will soon be a former member of Congress.
