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.

Tucker Carlson Dragged After His Conspiracy Theory Prediction About Trump's Speech Is Way Off

Former Fox News personality turned far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson was widely mocked after he made a bold prediction about what President Donald Trump would announce during his primetime address to the nation on Wednesday—namely that the U.S. would go to war with Venezuela.

But it turns out Carlson was very, very wrong. The speech was nowhere near that consequential and Trump spent the majority of it complaining about former President Joe Biden.
