Republican Representative Lauren Boebert has introduced her first three bills in Congress. All three take aim at President Biden's recent executive orders.
The first bill would prevent the U.S. from spending any money to rejoin the Paris Climate agreement unless the Senate ratifies the agreement.
Responsible energy production supports more than 230,000 Colorado jobs, she said in a statement. The Paris Agreement puts these jobs at risk and will increase energy costs.
The second bill would prevent funds going to the World Health Organization until America holds the international health organization and China accountable for their role in the global pandemic.
This was a constant refrain from former President Donald Trump, who downplayed the pandemic in its early days and whose administration was criticized for its response to the coronavirus and attempted to pull out from the WHO.
Boeberts third bill would overturn Bidens mask mandate on federal lands and interstate travel on planes, trains or buses. She called it continued federal overreach. Boebert defied public health orders by keeping her restaurant open during the early days of the pandemic.

(5,528 posts)I am actually shocked that she is trying to do business the way the House does it. She won't get anywhere but she is actually trying.
I had her pegged as the loud and crazy one who never actually participated in law making.

(3,414 posts)Or do you think that some lobbyists simply handed them to her to introduce? Me, I vote for the latter. That woman doesn't have two viable brain cells to rub together.

(5,528 posts)Or they were written by staffers who transferred over from the lobbyists office.
I am still surprised she is at least trying to conduct her insanity through the channels. It isn't a high bar but I expected much less from her.

Lot's of weak, impotent and failed politicians do that. Sometimes it's disgusting... mostly it's laughable. They invite the scorn and ridicule that's deservedly heaped upon them.

(14,854 posts)She's clearly stupid and an attention seeker, like Trump.
Edit: But perhaps just bright enough to know that annoying the "elitists" will get her support from the "own the libs" types. All she needs now is to carry around a Bible all the time, even if she never reads it.
