Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is known for making outlandish headlines.

This time, she's receiving press for posting a video to YouTube in which she speaks about her experience giving birth in a truck, all while directing her obvious homophobia at Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.


Boebert issued her statements following the news that Buttigieg had taken two months of parental leave after he and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg, adopted newborn twins.

Boebert attacked Buttigieg's decision to take parental leave amid a global supply-chain crisis, the result of Covid-19 disruptions paired with a boom in demand.

You can hear what Boebert said in the video below.

Boebert, employing a term often used by transmasculine and non-binary parents, said:

"The guy was not working! Because why? He was trying to figure out how to chestfeed."
"Maybe someone should tell him, please, so he can get back to work."
"Listen, I'm a mother of four. I delivered one of my children in the front seat of my truck. Because, as a mom of four, we got things to do."
"Ain't nobody got time for two and a half months of maternity leave. We have a world to save here."

Boebert then mocked both Buttigiegs, pointing to a picture of the happy couple as she proceeded to accuse them of exacerbating the supply-chain crisis:

"So when the supply chains crisis means you can't celebrate Christmas like Mayor Pete and Chasten, you know who to blame."

Boebert was harshly criticized and many used the opportunity to call on federal authorities to arrest her for the role she played in the January 6 insurrection.









Boebert's behavior appears to serve as a distraction from recent news that further spotlights the role she played on and before January 6.

The extent of Boebert's alleged involvement in the insurrection—which took place when a mob of former President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the United States Capitol on the false premise the 2020 election had been stolen—appeared to become clearer following a bombshell report from Rolling Stone.

On Sunday, October 24, Rolling Stone published an article stating several supporters of former President Trump who helped plan the insurrection had multiple planning sessions with senior White House staffers and Republican members of Congress.

Sources who spoke to the magazine said they met with several high-profile Trump acolytes, including Representatives Paul Gosar (Arizona), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia), Madison Cawthorn (North Carolina) and Boebert herself.

Organizers claim Gosar promised "blanket pardons" to anyone who participated in the attack, adding they "would talk to Boebert's team, Cawthorn's team, Gosar's team like back to back to back to back."

Nor is this isn't the first time Boebert has been accused of homophobia or demonizing the LGBTQ+ community.

As recently as August she made headlines after she amplified a transphobic tweet alleging that transgender Olympian Laurel Hubbard transitioned just so she could win a medal.

Boebert alleged that athletes like Hubbard have an unfair advantage due to the biological advantages of going through puberty as a male.

However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) found that Hubbard met all the requirements for transgender athletes to compete.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
