The MAGA Rep. was instantly called out for 'projecting' after she tried to accuse Biden and everyone on the Left of lacking 'personal responsibility.'

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was instantly called out for "projecting" after she accused Democratic President Joe Biden and the left-wing of having "no concept" of "personal responsibility."

Boebert's remark came after Biden vowed to more strictly regulate banks after Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed following a run on its deposits, impacting startups in the United States and abroad.


Biden blamed former Republican President Donald Trump's administration for the collapse, noting they'd loosened banking regulations that would have forestalled the bank's failure.

Boebert soon lashed out with the following message via her official Twitter account:

“Biden is more than halfway done with his term and he’s STILL blaming Trump, and some people STILL believe him. Personal responsibility is something the Left really has no concept of."

You can see Boebert's tweet below.

Boebert has a long history of making excuses for Trump's policy decisions and his personal behavior that contributed to the January 6 insurrection.

Many have criticized her in turn.


The reasons for SVB's collapse are more complicated than either Biden or Boebert could get into but there is no question the Trump administration's decision to loosen banking regulations played a role in the ongoing crisis.

In 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act freed some banks from policies that were implemented following the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 to protect banks and the overall financial system from collapsing.

The rollback kept in place the central structure of the 2010 Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which on one level prohibited banks from trading customer's deposits for their profit and using or owning hedge funds, protected against "too big to fail" policies, and offered protections against risky transactions.

However, the rollback got rid of regulations for small and midsize banks by raising the threshold from $50 billion in assets to $250 billion, a move which was fiercely opposed by Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Warren wrote this week that the rollback meant SVB and the full-service commercial bank Signature Bank lacked oversight that would have made them "subject to stronger liquidity and capital requirements to withstand financial shocks."

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
