July 28, 2021


Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert doesn't like masks, as evidenced by her COVID-denialist rhetoric and her history of defying mask mandates in the House chamber.


Now, her dislike for masks is apparently causing her to lash out at people physically, according to POLITICO's Sarah Ferris and ABC News' Ben Siegel.
...................

"Rep. Lauren Boebert just threw a mask back at a Democratic floor staffer who tried to give her one, per source on the House floor who saw it happen," Siegel added.


The alleged incident come on the heels of a reinstatement of a mask mandate for the House.

1. By Gawd! She should show them that she won't take it and quit!

[wyn borkins]

6. "By Gawd"

I vote your remark as: Comment-of-the-Day!

[rurallib]

7. thank you and welcome to DU

[forgotmylogin]

26. If she thinks that's "totalitarian"...

She isn't going to last in an actual totalitarian state. My guess is she's using some big words without understanding them.

[ArizonaLib]

39. Maybe she wanted a white hood and they gave her a mask instead

She probably forgot hers at home.

70. They didn't have that word

on the GED test she got........

[COL Mustard]

82. Can't She Just Please Get The Virus????

I mean, really....

[Sanity Claws]

2. If that mask hit the staffer, that's an assault

If that happened, she should be prosecuted.
If it didn't, it was definitely behavior not becoming to an elected representative and she should be censured.

5. "A witness said she threw it back at staffer's face" per Manu Raju (CNN)

[eppur_se_muova]

62. If she missed, it was attempted assault ...

... using contaminated medical waste as a weapon.

[usaf-vet]

75. Totally, totally agree! She needs to be sanctioned. Isn't she one of the nut cases who carries a gun

How long before it escalates to a more dangerous act on her part.

[Champp]

3. Lock her up

Many Republicans will chant.

Oh wait, I forgot, IOKIYAR.

[CrispyQ]

4. I read there are over 20 q-anon candidates for 2022.

If they win, we will see more of this spoiled brat behavior.

[NCDem47]

14. Trump unlocked the gates to the looney bin.

The more wild-and-crazy the better for them.

[SergeStorms]

55. What confuses me....

is that, apparently, this is the type of behavior republicans now support. This is what they want our country to resemble. Petulant six year olds are now the order of the day in the GQP camp. I guess they saw how well it worked for MF45, and they want that level of "respect" too.

[JohnSJ]

8. That is her. She has a history of minor arrests, and no show court appearances

https://www.denverpost.com/2020/08/27/lauren-boebert-arrests-colorado-3rd-mitsch-bush/

I am amazed that the people in her district thought she was the most qualified

That doesn't say much for the populous in that district

[colorado_ufo]

47. No, it says a lot about the people in this district who voted for her.

Not about everyone here. She makes me want to "spew chunks" every time I look at her, hear her, or read about her.

She has brought shame upon Colorado, a truly great state.

[JohnSJ]

53. Sure, and she was elected because the majority of people in that district voted

for her.

That doesn't mean there aren't people in that district who do not like her views or policies, but that the majority of people in that district seem to, or she would not have won.

She doesn't represent the state of Colorado. She only represents her district.

Districts like that aren't unique to Colorado either. Here in California, we have our pockets of bright red districts. Fortunately, the blue ones far outnumber those red ones

Kevin McCarthy and Nunes are from California, but they sure don't represent the majority here in California, they only represent their districts

[colorado_ufo]

56. The district isn't all of Colorado, certainly, yet it is still part of Colorado,

and she is a terrible reflection on - at least part of - of citizens.

To think that McCarthy and Nunes are from California makes me think I am in an alternate universe.

[JohnSJ]

57. I hear ya

[generalbetrayus]

84. I think she was elected by people who didn't know about her warped personality.

The majority of the people of Rifle, CO, her hometown and no bastion of liberalism by any means, voted for her opponent. Her election was secured by fooling the people in the rest of the district. Hopefully as her childishness becomes better know, she will get the boot in 2022.

[moose65]

61. The thing is, though..

She did NOT win in a landslide. Remember that last year, a lot of right-wing anarchists came out of the woodwork to vote for Trump, and while they were at it they voted for a lot of other Republican candidates that they'd probably never heard of.

Boebert, IIRC, got 51% of the vote last year. And with Colorado gaining another seat, maybe her district can be re-configured to get rid of her.

[JohnSJ]

63. I hope so. She is nuts

[momta]

71. Yeah, they're working on it.

People are campaigning hard against her and I read one news story that claimed her district was one being looked at for "re-configuration".

Also, her district is one of the Covid hot spots. If it weren't for those idiots CO would have a pretty decent vax record.

[LenaBaby61]

9. This racist, low-life, law-breaking, evil THUG ...

Who still married a man who exposed himself to a teen ager in a bowling alley would have had one time to throw a mask at me if true, even if I was a staffer.

I would not put up with that THUGGISH, Karen behavior.

[ornotna]

32. It's my understanding

That teenager was her. It was love at first sight.

I could be wrong though.

[LenaBaby61]

41. Wouldn't shock me in the least ...

A filthy, racist, under-aged Karen being groomed by her filthy Meemaw falls in love with then marries a low-down, dirty filthy child molester/flasher.

And I thought that disgusting, brawling, drunken, baby-mama Bristol/Sarah Palin family was filthy, disgusting trash.

10. If ever there was a face I'd like to see under a ventilator mask . . .

[Major Nikon]

67. ...

[PatSeg]

11. "Beauty school dropout, go back to high school"

Maybe you could take some science and civics classes. Some respect for the institution you represent and those that came before you would serve you better than throwing childish tantrums. You're not in Rifle, Colorado.

[NCDem47]

12. This woman is out of control.

I hope her constituents are noticing and will vote her out next cycle. Like that flamethrower from Georgia and that airhead young guy from North Carolina, they're only in this for fame and self-promotion. Provacateurs to the max.

[colorado_ufo]

48. Fame, self-promotion, and

money.

[Wingus Dingus]

13. If she really wants to get back at someone, she should offer them

some of her famous pork sliders. That person won't be able to leave the bathroom for a solid week.

[Fullduplexxx]

15. I'll get you my pretty

[yonder]

66. And your little dog too.

She just needs a bicycle, basket and broom to complete her kit.

[jmbar2]

16. "Kapital Karen" Boebert

[madaboutharry]

17. That is an assault.

She needs to be arrested.

[monkeyman1]

18. look's better in mask , hides that mugg of her's !

[EYESORE 9001]

31. Whaddya talkin''bout? She looks like a movie star, I'm tellin ya!

OK, that’s unfair to whom I’m comparing her to. How about…

[monkeyman1]

49. good one , tend to agree with ya' !!

[Tadpole Raisin]

60. I'll take spoiled aliens for 1000 Alex

Well didn’t Trump say once he was the same person as he was when he was 8 or something like that?

Whiners, spoiled brats, crybabies.

Although they all have egos, developmentally they never got past the ‘id’ stage.

[tishaLA]

19. Fundraising numbers must be below expectations

a little hissy fit is sure to bring in some cashola from the rubes.

[cojoel]

20. She should resign in protest

Yeah, that will show them!

[vsrazdem]

21. They should just have the sergeant at arms escort her off the floor until she wears it.

[pandr32]

23. +1

[Ford_Prefect]

22. Send her home with a note to her Mommy: "Doesn't work or play well with others".

[Autumn]

76. She is her mothers daughter, a carbon copy of her racist nasty mom.

[Ford_Prefect]

80. You think the note would be insufficient?

Perhaps an arrest warrant, a surety bond, and a federal court appearance date would have more effect?

[Moostache]

24. Simply have her removed from the floor for not following House rules...

No different to me than an asshole bursting into a committee meeting, trampling regular order and trying to make statements on the record without being recognized.

There are procedures and rules for EVERYTHING in Congress and the twit from the Rockies needs to be reined in and brought to heel. She is not special. She is not entitled to special privileges either.

She IS emblematic of the modern GQP though - loud, stupid, utterly out of their depth and fantastically self-centered opportunists. She and MTG are definitely in a fight for the Mean Girls prom queen tiara...

[IronLionZion]

25. Abusing staffers should have some consequences

although she's probably going down for conspiring for insurrection anyway

[Orrex]

27. That's assault.

If I assaulted Boebert, what would happen to me?

That’s what should happen to her.

[colorado_ufo]

50. I would have lost my job and ended up in jail,

and they probably would have made me clean up the entire box of masks I would have hurled back at her.

[Initech]

28. What a fucking crybaby!

Seriously at what other job would that shit be tolerated? If I threw the same kind of tantrums or spoke ill of my coworkers the way that Boebert, Greene, and Cawthorn are doing, I'd be escorted out by security.

[twodogsbarking]

29. I really can't imagine interacting with her in any way.

[ck4829]

30. Toddlers... I've seen toddlers handle having to wear masks with more grace.

[iluvtennis]

33. Boebert is a bonafide jackass - she cares nothing about the safety of others. n/t

[Traildogbob]

34. Saw a report

This AM about outbreak areas. The district she represents (😂😂😂 is blowing up with Delta and hospitals are pissed of. Her district is small, she barely won, so kill em off idiot. Who gets their guns?

[PortTack]

35. So was she denied entry to the floor? if Not others will do the same..rules are rules

[11 Bravo]

36. If she wasn't saying stupid shit, the Kalashnikov Kardashian would be a selective mute.

[Midnight Writer]

37. She is making the best argument against allowing members to be armed on the Floor.

[tavernier]

38. I love the new republican party.

They’ve brought in some real class acts.
Wasn’t she one of those bar dancing coyote ugly girls in her previous “career”???

[jmowreader]

43. I kinda hope not

Let’s put it this way: if she worked at a bikini espresso stand, no one would go to it.

[jmowreader]

40. Someone's eventually going to just flatten Lauren Boebert

That person’s next job interview is going to be…well, interesting:

“Mr. Jones, why did you leave your last job?”
“I punched Lauren Boebert in the mouth.”
“If I hire you, do you promise not to punch Lauren Boebert in the mouth on company property?”
“Well…since she probably won’t come here…sure.”
“Great. Orientation starts 9 am Monday. Bring your driver’s license, Social Security card and lunch money.”

[Vogon_Glory]

44. Remember when the Republicans claimed that they were the adults in the room?

That meme has certainly receded into the halcyon days of yesteryear!

I think that the honorable representative from Rifle, Colorado needs to made to do a time out and then be sent to bed without any supper.

[ScratchCat]

45. Someone help me

Where do they get that wearing a mask is "anti-science"? This seems to be their new buzzphrase and it make no sense. Is it simply an attempt to twist what CDC guidance standards actually say?

[Aviation Pro]

46. Can't wait until she's thrown to the floor

And handcuffed for conspiring with the 1/6 terrorists.

[colorado_ufo]

51. Made me smile!

[Progressive Jones]

52. Loser Booboo... nt

[Mr. Ected]

54. FOX viewers enjoy the theater; they like their reps to be angry and hateful

Getting something done isn't even on their top 20 lists of attributes for a rep.

[George II]

59. Her district now has one of the highest rates of new infections in the country...

Why the f* did they elect her in the first place?

[KS Toronado]

65. Typical of reQublicans, they only send their finest to Washington DC

[yonder]

68. Totalitarian? Good one.

Totalitarian would be if the Sargeant-at-Arms came and stuffed her in a hole for 30 days.

[turbinetree]

69. I would charge her with fucking assault .......

[IcyPeas]

72. this woman has 4 children. and where was her husband on Jan 6.

[ratchiweenie]

73. Shouldn't that be Karen Boebert.

[joetheman]

74. If you don't want to follow the rules get out of the HOUSE! nt

[paleotn]

77. $500 isn't doing it. Make the fine $5,000 per occurrence.

Bleed them white.

[davsand]

78. Are there already rules in place about assaulting staffers?

Seems like there HAS to be something on the books about that crap. I'd think Assault and Battery would be outside the bounds of legislastive behavior. Nancy needs to shit that cow down hard. She is a disgrace to the office.



Laura

[Larissa]

79. It is because of people like Boebert that we are wearing masks

If Boebert wants to know why she must wear a mask, she need look no further than her own mirror. Is it really that difficult for folks like Boebert to figure it out? How in hell do people like this politicize a life-preserving practice such as wearing a simple mask? These are the same folks begging for the vaccine when the medical professionals tell them that they need to be intubated in the hospital ICU. It's too late then. Too late they find out how Covid-19 attacks the lungs. I thought that everyone knew that you cannot live without the ability to breathe.

"Eighty million American adults have made a choice. They made a choice not to get the vaccine and those same people are not masking and that is the force that is propagating this virus around the country."

81. Her fifteen minutes are up soon. n/t

[LiberalFighter]

83. Need to defeat her so she is not vested with a pension.

[Trust_Reality]

86. Pension? Make that not happen!

Her district is lots of square miles and not much population. Redistricting might help solve the problem.

[SunSeeker]

85. Lauren committed assault. Hope they do something about that. nt

[Skittles]

87. someone who supports The Big Lie, complaining about totaliarian rules

oh, the humanity

[area51]

88. Hey Boebert,

don't you have a restaurant you need to clean up? You need to quit congress and go back to CO.

[Deuxcents]

89. Madame Speaker

Bring your hammer down

[Under The Radar]

90. In Minnesota she would have been thrown to the ground and a knee to her neck

…. If she were black for lessor than that stunt she pulled.
