Lauren Boebert Whines About Being Called 'Racist' and 'Bigot'—and Everyone Had the Same Response

Lauren Boebert Whines About Being Called 'Racist' and 'Bigot'—and Everyone Had the Same Response
Fox News

Far-right Congresswoman and conspiracy theorist Lauren Boebert appeared on Fox News host Laura Ingraham's nightly broadcast this week to air her grievances.

The appearance came after Boebert grilled Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra on transgender issues in a recent committee hearing, only for him to affirm the validity of transgender people and their inclusion in policy initiatives.


Watch below.

Demanding Becerra be removed from his position, Boebert said:

"[Republicans are] called names, we're called conspiracy theorists, we're called racists, we're called bigots just for not going along with [Democrats'] agenda. They even turn on their own whenever they aren't falling in line with their agenda. I totally believe that Secretary Becerra needs to be removed from his position."

But the perception of Boebert and her colleagues as "racists," "conspiracy theorists," and "bigots" didn't materialize from thin air. No, this perception came from Boebert's own words and actions.

Multiple times, Boebert joked to supporters that she didn't fear for her life when stuck in an elevator with Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, because Omar—one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress—wasn't "wearing a backpack," implying the congresswoman was a suicide bomber.

Boebert has called for a law regulating when LGBTQ people can come out of the closet, arguing that no one should be able to come out before the age of 21.

As for conspiracy theories, she claimed there would be a mass resignation of a huge number of congress members ahead of Justice Department investigations, a conspiracy theory ripped from the pages of the QAnon conspiracy web, which promises widespread arrests of government officials for crimes against humanity.

And the GOP has specialized in turning on their own when Republican representatives step out of line. Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming lost her influential position as the House GOP Conference Chair for condemning former President Donald Trump's election lies that incited the deadly failed insurrection against the United States Capitol. Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Republican Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, and other conservative elected officials who condemned Trump have become pariahs within the party as well.

So in response to Boebert's lamentations, the consensus among social media users was, "if the shoe fits..."






They especially called out Boebert's claim that Democrats disavow any Democrat who steps out of line with their agenda.



Try again, Congresswoman.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
