Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Lauren Boebert: "IRL or SNL?"

11 Comments

by: Colorado Pols

If you’ve ever thought over the past year and a half since freshman GOP train wreck Rep. Lauren Boebert came into Colorado politics like a wrecking ball that her schtick is so over-the-top that it seems like a parody of itself, you’re apparently not alone. Last night, ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel unveiled a “man on the street” stunt using actual footage from Boebert’s recent video updates to constituents, like the one where Boebert demanded to know “how many puppies were eaten alive under Fauci’s watch.”

The twist? Kimmel’s crew at first told passers-by the clips of Boebert were Saturday Night Live sketches:

And then broke it to them that this was actually Lauren Boebert. Since most of the folks interviewed had sympathy for Boebert being mocked by SNL until they realized this was the real Lauren Boebert speaking with a straight face, their reactions once the truth is revealed are…memorable.

Will every CD-3 voter see this clip? No. But…

Lauren Boebert is costing Republicans votes on a grander scale now.

The last guy has it right. "Not that funny" whether IRL or SNL.

The puppies part was over the top.
The SNL writers were too mean on that one.

And she will get reelected. As will Gohmert, Gosar, Taylor Green and Gaetz (even if he is under indictment). Republicans was congress-trolls, not legislators.

And the voters in some districts seem to take extra joy in triggering the opposition. Like it almost does not matter who or how as long as the opposition is outraged.
