Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is definitely familiar with the online roastings that tend to come with the weird things she posts at this point, but she doesn't seem to be learning from those experiences.
Boebert is known for loving guns, sharing QAnon conspiracies and vehemently supporting former President Donald Trump—especially his constant assertion he only lost the 2020 election because of some kind of election fraud he nor anyone else has any proof of.
Yesterday, Boebert tweeted about conservatives needing to "be on offense" and it took basically no time for the roasting to begin.
Boebert tweeted:
"Conservatives, we need to be on OFFENSE not DEFENSE."
\u201cConservatives, we need to be on OFFENSE not DEFENSE.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1670859072
People began to call out Boebert in the comments almost immediately, most with a common theme.
Boebert and other members of the Republican Party who have made it their mission to spread conspiracy theories and other disinformation4 are already pretty offensive without even trying.
\u201c@laurenboebert Well, you're plenty offensive.\n\nSo mission accomplished.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1670859072

Others had different critiques.
\u201c@laurenboebert Like January 6, 2021? How'd that work out for you?\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1670859072
\u201c@laurenboebert 1. spread more lies 2. repeat those lies\nSame old GOP playbook if you ask me\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1670859072
\u201c@laurenboebert MAGA glossary\n1. Education is indoctrination\n2. Prosecution is persecution\n3. Losing is winning\n4. Insurrection is patriotism\n5. Violence is victimhood\n6. Killing women is pro-life\n7. Antiracism /\u201cwoke\u201d is racism\n8. Antifascists are fascists\n9. Being on offense is bein on defense\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1670859072
\u201c@laurenboebert Oh you\u2019ll be on defense when you\u2019re all prosecuted for treason. Buckle up.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1670859072
\u201c@laurenboebert No. You need to be on defence because you\u2019re all gonna be defendants at some point in the near future.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1670859072
\u201c@laurenboebert You already spend all your time attacking your own country/government/democracy/constituents. But I\u2019m sure you have no idea what offense or defense even mean.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1670859072
A recent recount confirmed Boebert did narrowly receive enough votes to hold on to her House seat.
So her Twitter nonsense—and other nonsense—are likely to be a fixture in Congress for a while yet.
