Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert perhaps should have paid more attention to basic U.S. Geography.
The far-right Congresswoman–a vocal gun rights activist and conspiracy theorist–was brutally ridiculed after tweeting a meme with an inaccurate representation of the U.S. map.
On Wednesday, Boebert wrote in the tweet caption:
"Sometimes a meme says it best."
The accompanying image depicted a version of the earth that was entirely ocean except for a lone continent suggesting it was a portion of North America.
Here is the world according to Lauren Boebert.

The overlaid text read:
“Map showing the only place my taxes should go to."
However, her declaration fell flat as she failed to realize how U.S. spending overseas can mutually benefit the nation and other countries.
Not only did she completely fail to comprehend the mutual benefits of U.S. spending overseas, she also left out a huge population of Americans from her misguided proposition.
Nowhere to be found in the image were the rest of the country–including Alaska, Hawaii, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Also notably missing were U.S. territories and Freely Associated states like the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, to name a few.
Boebert's foreign policy legacy includes advocating for the former Republican President Donald Trump's Mexican border wall and being one of 14 House Republicans to oppose the majority passing measure that condemned the Myanmar coup d'état.
In response to her meme, she was slammed online for her limited worldview.
Twitter uusers also had questions.
\u201c@laurenboebert How are you in government when you post crap like this? Where are Hawaii and Alaska as well as our territories?\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
\u201c@laurenboebert Alaska? Hawaii? Guam? Puerto Rico? US Virgin Islands?\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
\u201c@laurenboebert Where's Alaska and Hawaii? Stop trying to learn things from Memes. Stop embarrassing the country.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
\u201c@laurenboebert So no Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands etc. Hell, I\u2019m from Wales and know this.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
\u201cAh, yes. America. A country famous for having 48 states.\u201d— Mike Dunford (@Mike Dunford) 1677724394
\u201c@laurenboebert So you only think 48 US states should receive federal tax revenue. Make sense if you have no clue what the United States is.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
Twitter also shared their observations on the GOP Representative's knowledge.
\u201c@laurenboebert @Lawyeredx What amazes me is how confident your stupidity is.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
\u201c@laurenboebert Yup!\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
\u201c@laurenboebert\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
\u201c@laurenboebert Raise your hand if you think that Lauren Boebert should be removed from office immediately. \ud83e\udd1a\ud83e\udd1a\ud83e\udd1a\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
Users agreed with her statement that memes say it best.
Somewhat.
\u201c@laurenboebert Sometimes memes do say it best. Yours doesn\u2019t-we need Alaska and Hawaii. Puerto Rico contributes $4B a year in payroll taxes, (not that you\u2019d be able to find any of those things on a map). We\u2019ll just go with this meme.\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265

One thing was made certain about the allocation of federal tax revenue.
\u201c@laurenboebert This is NOT where I want my tax dollars going to..\u201d— Lauren Boebert (@Lauren Boebert) 1677710265
And another user had a special message for the younger generation.
\u201cI guess we have 48 states now and Puerto Rico, Guam and the other territories are no longer part of the U.S. \n\nStay in school kids or you\u2019ll end up posting memes like this.\u201d— Juliet Jeske \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Juliet Jeske \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1677726523
