Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day: Lauren Boebert- 2023 Update [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-07-24

Only days after Boebert was sworn in, she was allegedly offering tours to the sorts of insurrectionists who would turn up in the Capitol on 1/6 to attempt to violently storm the building, seemingly let them scout the attack out on a reconnaissance trip. Other members of Congress thought it odd, just because, y’know, we were still in the darkest phase yet of the Covid-19 pandemic and bringing in people for a tourist’s visit isn’t exactly responsible. Now, we’ll note, Boebert denies the allegation, but given the amount of gaslighting from the Republican Party regarding January 6th where they want to convince the public it was carried out by “Antifa in disguise” and their complete opposition to the attack even being investigated, forgive us if we don’t take the words spewing out of her conspiracy-theory-spouting mouth as an adequate reason to have it looked into.



We’re not done talking about Lauren Boebert and January 6th, though. It’s not just that she’s accused of offering logistical support to right-wing extremists prior to the attack… on the day of the attack, her behavior continued to be ludicrous, and it appeared like she was in cahoots with those storming the building. She got on Twitter the morning of the attack to declare, “Today is 1776”, an obvious call to revolution, and during the attack itself, after the Sergeant at Arms gave explicit instructions to members of Congress to not make social media posts during a lockdown, she managed to WHOOPS point out where members of Congress were being sequestered by Capitol Police and then additionally let it be known that the security detail were escorting Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi away from the rest.



If she’s not willfully malicious in her actions that day, she’s one of the the dumbest mother***ers to be elected in awhile. Frankly, we’re pretty sure it’s both.Lauren Boebert has done things that are suspicious and seem like she was providing support and comfort to the domestic terrorists who tried to storm the Capitol to attempt overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election that are mostly ceremonial and execute Vice President Mike Pence.



Do you know what would have been smart to not do? To not be seen in public with one of the people who admits they were one of the insurrectionists that day. On June 29th, 2021, Boebert was one of seven members of Congress who took a trip to the U.S./Mexico border to pretend there’s a massive migrant invasion underway at all hours and decided to hang out on that trip with Anthony Aguero, who we’ve profiled before as an ex-felon, domestic abuser, and Qanon conspiracy theorist who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2020, and oh yeah, that clown was one of the seditious wankers an the Capitol grounds on 1/6 who is somehow still roaming free to buddy up with the Congresswoman who allegedly was offering logistical support to his cause. If you think this is an “alleged” meetup, like Boebert would likely try and claim, here’s a story about it the selfie that Boebert and Aguero took together.



We’re going to just pull back here to look at a timeline of her voting record, dedicated to this Republican insurgency, and the slew of times she’s already made an ass of herself publicly in her first seven months in office. Saddle up, this is gonna be a ride:
