Far-right Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado was one of multiple lawmakers who spread inflammatory rhetoric and amplified former President Donald Trump's audacious lies that the 2020 election was "stolen" from him by Democrats through widespread election fraud.

On January 6, the day these lies prompted a mob of pro-Trump extremists to storm the United States Capitol, Boebert tweeted that "Today is 1776"—encouraging opposition to the joint congressional session acknowledging now-President Joe Biden's victory.


Even as rioters shattered Capitol windows, smeared excrement across its walls, and called for the execution of lawmakers they perceived as disloyal to Donald Trump, Boebert tweeted updates on the location of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), a favorite enemy of the right.

Flash forward to now, when Boebert tweeted this about the framers of the Constitution.

While Boebert was undoubtedly referring to Democrats and moderate Republicans as the ones attempting to "abolish" the Constitution, she neglected to acknowledge her own actions calling for some of the most defining Constitutional processes—elections and peaceful transfers of power—to be dismissed.

In the aftermath of the Capitol Riots, Boebert also railed against Trump's subsequent impeachment for inciting an insurrection—another Constitutional process.

Social media users didn't hesitate to highlight the absurdity by agreeing with Boebert, but not for the reasons she intended.






The irony was overwhelming.




Boebert continues to rail against security fences erected around the Capitol in response to the insurrection her rhetoric helped catalyze.

Osment, who began acting at age five, is one of a rare breed in Hollywood—a child star turned successful adult actor. It's a journey many kids have infamously stumbled on, but that Jordan has also successfully navigated perhaps in part thanks to Osment.

Texas GOP's Bizarre Text Warning Voters About 'Weirdo Furry Socialists' Sparks Mockery

The message was sent Saturday alongside a photo purportedly showing a man wearing a fox-tail accessory as he left a polling location in Collin County. The message identified its sender as Texans for Common Sense, a political action committee funded entirely by Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC, a far-right organization backed by West Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn.
