Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado has faced harsh criticism over the past several weeks for her role in inciting and perhaps even aiding the Capitol insurrectionists on January 6.

One individual who spoke out against Boebert was Parkland shooting survivor and gun control activist David Hogg.


On Thursday, January 28, he responded to news that a permanent fence might be erected around the Capitol building with a tweet.

Boebert responded in a patronizing tone, writing:

"David, please. We all saw how tough you were when questioned face to face. Give your keyboard a rest, child."

Hogg quickly responded, wondering why a sitting Congresswoman thought making fun of a college student and shooting survivor would be a good idea.



Twitter joined in on the action, making fun of Boebert's lack of decorum.



Many pointed out how out-of-place Boebert's tone would be even if her arguments made sense.



Boebert has been facing escalating calls for her resignation following the January 6 insurrection, when she tweeted "This is 1776" and sent out an update when Nancy Pelosi was removed from her chambers, tipping off the rioters.

Even before then, she peddled the false conspiracy theory that President Trump won the election.


Boebert's communications director, Ben Goldey, resigned on January 7, the day after the insurrection, saying:

"Following the events of January 6th, I've decided to part ways with the office. I wish her and the people of Colorado's Third District the best."


As Congress decides how to deal with extremists like Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, she will doubtless continue harassing young people on Twitter.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.

We've all heard the saying that there's no way of knowing everything that you don't know until you're faced with it directly. For some people, that could even be the color of the world around them.

Kristin Hughes, or @im.krispy on TikTok, reached out to the platform for a second opinion while she was trying to list a chair on Facebook Marketplace.
