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.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
