Rep Lauren Boebert Savaged for Tweet Praising Taliban While Trolling Biden: 'Very Dumb'

GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert was condemned by politicians from both sides of the aisle for praising — and seemingly promoting — the Taliban on Monday after the group seized Afghanistan’s capital Kabul over the weekend.

“The Taliban are the only people building back better,” the freshman representative tweeted, using Biden’s own campaign slogan.




“Tell that to the women,” snapped former GOP Rep. Denver Riggleman while Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones mused, “This is a very dumb statement.”

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell brought up the Jan. 6 rally-turned-riot that Boebert championed, adding, “Makes sense. You tried to overthrow the US government so of course you support the overthrow of the Afghan government.”

Afghanistan sounds like the perfect country for Lauren Boebert to move to. They are run by right-wing, religious fundamentalists, everyone has a gun, their women aren't educated, and they cheer for the destruction of America. She'd fit right in!!!

A LOT of rightwankers are wanking away with pro-Taliban tweets.
Let each and every one of those tweets end their careers come election time.
