Yesterday evening, Rep. Lauren Boebert took some time out of her busy schedule (she still has her committee assignments, after all) to mingle with National Guard troops deployed to defend the U.S. Capitol in the aftermath of the January 6th insurrection against the building and its occupants. No doubt the troops were polite, and some of them may not even have known who specifically Boebert is other than a random freshman member of Congress who wanted a picture.
The ones who do know who Boebert is, and her role in helping incite the violence that resulted in their deployment to the U.S. Capitol? We assume they were also professionals, though they would have had every right to be upset. Boebert’s photo-op glosses neatly over the fact that these troops are on alert today because a bunch of fellow Trump supporters agreed with Boebert that January 6, 2021 was 1776.
One thing we’re pretty sure of is Boebert did not apologize. That would have been news.
Using our troops as props for a photoshoot. Its bad enough they had to sleep in a garage, now they had to hang out with that mask-less fool.
Boebert is maskless, and some of the Guard members are, too. Here's hoping the troops were back in masks shortly after the photo was taken.
Treason doth never prosper.
Nor does the slinging of tainted pork sliders apparently.
Missed a chance to take her into custody.
Remember, nothing concerns the brass-balled Q-bie more than the safety of those others around her . . .
. . . so I’ve heard told.
I am surprised she wasn't waving her
dickGlock around.
