WATCH Lauren Boebert Get Swatted Down For Trying To ‘Blame The Victim’ During House Hearing

Believe it or not, but one of the dumbest members of Congress (and maybe one of the dumbest on the face of the entire planet) now has a starring role on the House Oversight Committee, and she found out on Wednesday that her ignorance gives others all the ammunition they need to make her look like the moronic dullard she is and will always be.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was the designated idiot and the topic was whether or not federal funds allocated by Congress for COVID assistance were spent improperly.

When it came her time to speak, Boebert suggested that U.S. taxpayers were “defrauded a possible $560 billion as a result of the federal government’s negligence in carrying out these federal COVID relief funding programs.”

She then asked:

“Does anyone know an organization in America or around the world, public or private, that has been scammed out of $560 billion, and simply, is that okay? I certainly can’t think of one and I don’t think that it’s okay either.”

The congresswoman also asked witnesses who were testifying if anyone had faced discipline or been relieved of their duties because they “failed to keep hundreds of billions of dollars from being stolen from the American taxpayer.”

When none of the witnesses had any reply to her question, Boebert referenced information that suggested money was improperly spent during the COVID pandemic, saying, “How the heck were these bureaucrats so dang incompetent that they were being scammed out of $35 million every hour for nearly two years?”

That led fellow committee member Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) to mock Boebert and her “effort to blame the victim for fraud by bad actors” mentioning that funds allocated by Congress for pandemic relief “was both lifesaving and [economy] saving as we faced the worst pandemic in our history.”

As you’d expect, Boebert had no intelligent response to Goldman.
