Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert and her voting record are facing heavy scrutiny after she criticized President Joe Biden for withdrawing from Afghanistan.

In her criticism of Biden, Boebert evoked the memory of the American withdrawal from Vietnam when the North Vietnamese took Saigon in 1975.

Boebert wrote:

"Joe Biden was in the Senate when America pulled out of Saigon in 1975. He didn't learn."

However, many were quick to point out that Boebert's record on Afghanistan has not been supportive, let alone altruistic.

Last month, Boebert was among the lawmakers who voted against H.R. 3985, the Averting Loss of Life and Injury by Expediting SIVs Act of 2021.

The legislation, otherwise referred to as the ALLIES Act, passed the House by a vote of 407-16. It was the brainchild of Democratic Representative Jason Crow, a fellow Coloradan.

Crow, who served three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, sponsored the bill, which increases the number of immigration visas available to Afghan citizens who have helped U.S. soldiers during the 20-year conflict.

He was also among Boebert's top critics after she issued another tweet criticizing President Biden's "foreign policy decisions."

Crow wrote:

"A few weeks ago you were 1 of only 16 members of Congress who voted against my bill to expand and speed up the visa program to evacuate and save our Afghan partners."

Others also accused Boebert of hypocrisy. In the process, Boebert's past tweets resurfaced.







Boebert has repeatedly derided the Biden administration as incompetent. She earlier derided President Biden for spending time at Cape David instead of the White House.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
