Freshman GOP Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado just did her best to capitalize on the current surge of cicadas sweeping the east coast of the United States.

In a move that didn't surprise anyone, she compared the creepy crawling insects to Democrats across the aisle.

Boebert apparently grew impatient with all the talk about Brood X, a generation of cicadas that only surfaces once every 17 years to mate, eat and be merry. The bugs have been so plentiful up and down the east coast that they've even showed up on weather radar.

But Boebert, who's well-known as a conspiracy theory and gun rights advocate, decided to spin the unique wildlife phenomenon into an attack on her Democratic colleagues.

In a tweet, she laid into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in particular.

"The media needs to quit acting like the cicadas are the worst creatures in DC."
"I can list several that are worse, starting with the Speaker of the House."

People had no patience whatsoever for Boebert's dig.















Regardless of the cicada situation, Lauren Boebert will very likely grab headlines at least once or twice in the near future.

Here's hoping it has less to do with once-in-a-generation insects.

On the way, Trump stopped in Malaysia and Japan—where his behavior drew widespread concern and mockery—before landing in Busan to meet with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and pick up some new golden swag for his collection.

J.D. Vance Faces Backlash After Saying He Hopes His Wife Usha Will Be 'Moved' To Convert To Christianity

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he said during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

A woman in the audience had the opportunity to ask Vance how he squares having a Hindu wife and mixed-race children with his anti-immigration rhetoric, a nod to the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown that is tearing families across the country apart.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

Biggest Financial Mistakes People Make In Their 20s

It can be really fun to experience something for the first time that you've never really had before, like a disposable income.

For the average person, there isn't generally a lot of excess money to spend frivolously when they're a child, so when they hit their twenties and have their first "real" or "more important" job, they might find themselves in a position to enjoy some of the finer things in life.
