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.
