The MAGA Rep. called for a boycott of the outdoor clothing brand over their Pride video featuring drag queen Pattie Gonia.

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is facing criticism after making derogatory comments about the LGBTQ+ community while discussing The North Face's partnership with a drag queen.

Her latest controversy began when Boebert criticized The North Face's collaboration with Pattie Gonia—an outdoorsy drag queen—who announced the brand's "Summer of Pride" event in an Instagram video.


The North Face also introduced clothing items featuring rainbow patterns as part of their support for LGBTQ+ pride. While the video was innocuous, it received hateful comments from individuals vowing to boycott the brand.

In response, Boebert took to social media, lambasting The North Face and referring to LGBTQ+ people as "degenerates."

She wrote:

"Well, I guess North Face wanted to get a taste of what conservatives did to Bud Light and Target."
"How many times do we have to explain to the woke marketing departments at these disgusting companies that America is not a nation of degenerates?"
"It’s time to boycott ANY product North Face has ever made."
"Let’s make it as shameful to wear North Face as it is to drink Bud Light!"

You can see her tweet below.

Boebert's anti-LGBTQ+ remarks sparked additional criticism due to the timing, coinciding with the release of recordings involving an alleged domestic violence incident in her family.

The recordings captured a distressing 911 call made by one of her sons, reporting Boebert's husband was mistreating him.

This juxtaposition led many individuals to question Boebert's priorities and accused her of diverting attention from the serious allegations against her family.







Boebert's call for conservatives to boycott The North Face came shortly after far-right commentator Candace Owens urged conservatives to boycott Target over their Pride merchandise and declared that anyone who shops at the company's stores is "gay" and a "pervert."

Owens went on to opine that Target has bowed to conservative backlash to avoid being "Bud Lighted," a reference to the transphobic backlash to the company's partnership with influencer Dylan Mulvaney that has caused sales of the brand to decline.

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 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.
