As readers know, Rep. Lauren Boebert fires off enough objectionable statements in the average day that if we wanted to, we could spend all our time every day doing nothing but writing blog posts where we perform the prosaic equivalent of picking our jaws up off the floor.

(We don’t call her “Q*Bert” for nothing – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Congresswoman Lauren Boebert put a Q-flavored cherry atop an already controversial town hall last Monday night, when she claimed to have insider knowledge of a QAnon-linked conspiracy theory promoted by The Epoch Times that secret documents declassified in the final days of the […]
