Boebert just walked through the mag, set it off and ignored the cop who asked to wand her down

I'm gonna guess she is armed.

1. Attention whore wants attention.

[soothsayer]

2. Where da tasers at

[SunSeeker]

10. Right? Imagine if a black person set off the metal detectors and refused to stop!

How is she getting away with this at the US Capitol other than white privilege?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

26. I'm a white guy who's been perplexed by "privilege"...

... comments in the past, but it's plain as day!

My ugly puss never gave me the "full benefits", I think. Lol!

[spanone]

3. These are some arrogant turds.

Arrest them.

[SheltieLover]

4. They going to allow her to kill someone?

STOP CODDLING THEM!

I thought she was banned from the House floor?

[theneworiginal]

20. SHE is the RW extremest the Justice Dept. warned you about.

As a former public employee, metal detectors became part of daily functioning. You had a choice, comply or get another job. Same with wearing masks.

It wasn't until there were breakdowns in the checks and balances of government--engineered by these same kinds of Republican freedom-fighters--that we ended up needing them. Gun laws dismantled, RW Hate Groups tolerated, etc. So the same people that refuse to take action to prevent violence are the ones who say they now need guns to react to it.

OK, I get it.

[SheltieLover]

22. Yes she is!

Tweeted Nancy's secret location during terrorist attack!

WTF is she not in jail?

[Irish_Dem]

5. Of course she is carrying a gun. nt

[Bad Thoughts]

6. Isn't disobeying police a capital crime? eom.

[servermsh]

7. So what are Democrats going to do about it?

I'm tired of this nonsense. What is the response?

[FakeNoose]

8. What would stop her from handing the weapon over to a real assassin?

I mean, my God after last Wednesday, anything is possible. She's already shown that she's complicit, she's perfectly OK with overthrowing the government and the Constitution. And they let her walk into the Capitol with a gun?

[Nevilledog]

15. Oh, I'm pretty sure she'd be the one doing the shooting

[NoRoadUntravelled]

9. So now she's above the law too?

smdh

[Guilded Lilly]

11. Honestly? Why bother having it? Enforce it!

[Cobalt Violet]

12. Aren't there laws?

Why aren't there legal remedies. She is clearly a threat. She is one of the ones giving tours to terrorists.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. In a legislature narrowly divided

it will only take one accidental incident to flip. Is this a plot?

[PufPuf23]

14. Taze and dis-arm her, Bro.

Hope she has a bad hangover from her glimpse of notoriety and her career in politics unexpectedly brief.

[Arne]

16. If confronted, she'll have to whip it out and wave it around.

[magicarpet]

17. I hope the CPD are documenting each and every infraction with an incident report for,...

... future reference.

[SergeStorms]

18. I think she should be allowed to carry her gun...

as long as she agrees to be handcuffed, wear leg shackles, and of course her face mask. She can carry her gun wherever she pleases, but all all bullets stay at the magnetometer station.

Fair enough, bonehead?

[cwydro]

19. Pelosi needs to handle these idiots.

Many people go through metal detectors every single day.

[Efilroft Sul]

30. Make it $2500 per incident, from their paychecks. Retroactive to yesterday.

Let them scream, but these people need to be brought to heel.

[ecstatic]

21. Again?!? It's time to set an example, ffs! They damn near tackled my former Congresswoman

when she changed her hairstyle. And they filed charges! Stop this fucking double standard now!

The U.S. Attorney General's Office is considering the possibility of charging Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney with assault or obstructing a police officer. The potential charges stem from an incident last Wednesday when a Capitol Hill policeman reportedly tried to stop Representative McKinney from walking around a metal detector.

Lawmakers often bypass the security devices. But the policemen on duty said they did not recognize the six-term representative, and alleged that when they approached her, she poked one of them with her cell phone.

[dustyscamp]

23. Are they just going to keep letting this happen?

[Arazi]

24. She's every bit as dangerous as the insurrectionists. The Sergeant at Arms should be there

[DeminPennswoods]

27. Wouldn't be surprised if she has a gun, but lots

of things set off metal detectors, such as a ring of keys and belt buckles. The metal eyes on my boots once set off a metal detector.

[msfiddlestix]

28. I just called my Rep's office about this

Mike Thompson.... I called his local office left a voice msg to get this situation under control, contact the Capital Police acting head and or TSA if he has to. No exceptions, and SECURE ALL ENTRY'S. ASAP then I said please, and thank you.

I'll call his Washington office since that's where he and his staff are at the moment.

[CanonRay]

29. She should not be allowed on the floor until she complies with security rules.

It's simple, that's it. She can stand in the fucking hall for two years. Nancy needs to shut this down.
