Lauren Boebert takes to tweeting because the portrayal of her on SNL doesn't upset her at all.

Just saw the poorly-acted SNL skit from last night.

Seeing the poor trigger discipline from the no-name actress who played me makes me think Alec Baldwin did the gun safety training over there.

BTW, when are they moving SNL over to CNN to die out of irrelevance?

The ironic part is that actor is more educated, more classy and more empowered than she'll ever be.

At best she doesn't know this is about her and thinks it's about the model's trigger discipline.

Her oldest was holding the gun incorrectly in the pic her ignorant ass sent out.

Also didn’t see any of the resident gun crowd come in to any of those threads to point out that inconvenient fact.

So let’s see, what is worse, a couple of actors in a NYC studio or 20% of a family in Lauren’s pic.

Which group is more likely to handle live weapons?

As long as I've been watching they manage to find the unique of the individual and amplify it. Most politicians are honest enough with themselves that they find it comical. I can understand why BoBo doesn't think it is funny. She obviously even lies to herself.

always an insult to a man. It’s pervasive. I wish it were not. Trump was insulted by Spicer being played by a woman because he is a troglodyte. I believe snl trusts the good doctor is not.

If a white guy played a black guy (or vice versa) it would be highly offensive, so many think that the opposite sex impersonating is offensive as well. I don't think so at all. I was just wondering why, because before 2016 or so, I've never seen it. Maybe it's a SNL thing. Or maybe I missed it. But like you said, she likely does the part so well it doesn't matter.
