Rep. Lauren Boebert called Biden's infrastructure bill 'wasteful' and 'garbage.' Now she wants

Business Insider via Yahoo News

Rep. Lauren Boebert is asking for $33.1 million in federal funding for a transportation project after voting against Biden's infrastructure bill, calling it "wasteful" and "garbage."

On Monday, Boebert sent a letter to US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg strongly supporting the South Bridge Project in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

The city is requesting grant funding through the Rural Surface Transportation Grant Program for the South Bridge Project. This funding would allow the community to construct a new bridge connection to provide a critical second emergency route between State Highway 82 and the western side of the Roaring Fork River in the city's south corridor.

It's bacon when you bring it home to the deserving folks in your district.

She is one of the primary suspects in coordinating the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6th, due to her connections with white supremacy militia groups, and her meetings regarding Jan. 6th insurrection. We know where her priorities lie, and they are not with the South Bridge Project in Glenwood Springs.

She said she's going to sue those Muckrakers, and that they are lying, socialist garbage. I get so sick and tired of reich-wingers calling anybody who calls them out socialists. Boebert is a filthy, disgusting piece of garbage. The scary thing for that filth-bucket is that Muckrackers said you suing us? Bring it on sister, meaning discovery will be glorious. No telling how disgusting that piece of shit thing is. Yes, I say bring on discovery. She came into the Congress in massive debt, yet she's NOW with about 40 million dollars? Couldn't be from that disgusting restaurant of hers that was closed down several times due to filth and horrible cleanliness practices.

Yes, sue them dummy. I want to see discovery. Those guys as of today are NOT backing down. They took down Cawthorne. I know they can take this barely literate, treasonous, lying amoral thief down.
