Lawmakers Rip Rep. Lauren Boebert For Her Most Clueless Constitution Claim Yet

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) received a free lesson in U.S. history after posting her latest tweet about the Constitution.

“The Constitution is not evolving,” she wrote on Twitter. “To say that spits in the face of every single one of our founders.”

In reality, the framers of the Constitution not only wrote it so that it could evolve, via amendments, but began using that process almost immediately with the passage of the Bill of Rights.

At least three Democratic lawmakers pointed out the evolution of the Constitution is why women couldn’t vote when the document was written, but can today:

Clueless and Lauren Boebert go together like stink and shit. She's a high school dropout so what do you expect?

1. I think she just spat in her own face.

2. She apparently delights in oft-demonstrating to the entire world ... how much of a moron she is (nt)

3. I wish people would start with the basics and ask her what the constitution is. I

guaran-damn-tee you the answer would be just as frightening.

4. I wouldn't put it on the fact that she's a "high school dropout"

People have to drop out for many reasons. I have known people who dropped out, gone back and gotten their degrees and then on to University. I have known people who dropped out, but are intelligent and curious and informed. I have met people with Doctoral degrees who are "dumb as rocks". Education level does certainly correlate with intelligence and ability to reason, but it is not the end all be all.

Boebert's problems is that she is ignorant, incurious, and stupid (in the sense of Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity). Like many of her fellow Republicans up to an including Trump, there is not intellectual curiosity. No desire for fact or knowledge. Usually the most ignorant people are the most confident in their opinions.

5. She is an impressive example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
