For GOP firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert, anger and suspicion linger after Capitol riot

Gun control advocate Eileen McCarron faced blowback last year when she quipped that newly elected Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert would be heading to Washington to lead the "nut-job caucus."

Afterward, McCarron said she wondered if she had gone too far. But then she saw Boebert rail about the 2020 elections, demand to carry a handgun onto the House floor, and send incendiary tweets about 1776 ahead of the U.S. Capitol violence on Jan. 6. Now, McCarron told ABC News, she thinks Boebert "may actually be worse" than she feared.

"I think it's become clear she is a menace to our country," said McCarron, the president of Colorado Ceasefire.

Boebert, 34, is just days into her first term as a member of Congress, and already the fast-talking, gun-toting tavern owner is proving to be a provocative and disruptive force -- a reputation she says she relishes.

When she was tweeting the movement of third in line to the Presidency, she's become a co-conspirator to the seditious insurrection. It seems likely she was involved with advance planning also...I hope we hear the cell block clink shortly.
