Yes, Lauren Boebert Tweeted That ‘Turning Off CNN’ was the ‘Easiest Way’ to Make the Delta Variant Go Away

On June 30, 2021, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colorado, tweeted, “The easiest way to make the Delta variant go away is to turn off CNN. And vote Republican.” Boebert deleted the tweet, but not before a journalist captured a screenshot and posted it to his own Twitter account.

The Delta variant is a highly-contagious strain of COVID-19, which is raising public health concerns even as the pandemic fades into the background of daily life.

Local news station KUSA reporter Kyle Clark wrote, “Boebert represents Mesa County, where the Delta variant was first found in Colorado and now makes up 50%+ of its COVID cases.”

That's kind of their SOP anyway, isn't it?

Denial. Willful ignorance. Vote Republican.

that’s putting an unusually high number of people in the hospital and on ventilators.

The Delta variant doesn’t care what you call it, Ms. D’oh!bert.
