1. The trash knew

[Pachamama]

9. They are also flashing the White Power symbol

[Drahthaardogs]

19. Yep

What a shame this is in our Congress

[Kid Berwyn]

36. Kind of like the pledge of allegiance.

Hand over where the heart should be, but is not.

[jonstl08]

46. WOW

Wonder if the GOP leadership has seen this photo. She should be removed right away. I think she wants to harm members of the house leadership.

[Arkansas Granny]

54. OMG. I hadn't noticed that. And this is what Boebert herself posted. Disgusting!

[jpljr77]

68. I think that's the "Three Percenter" sign. Not that it's any better.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Percenters

[Pachamama]

82. Awfully convenient isn't it that with one flash of the hand and finger gestures both are represented

Not a Coincidink

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

18. White supremacist "OK" hand signals in that photo.

The two circled on the far right, and in the circle in the center as well.

[Pachamama]

21. Four of them are flashing it...

[AllaN01Bear]

49. ever since the hatriots upsurped the ok hand sign , i dont use it anymore .

[Botany]

55. Klassy with a "k" .... she was just in fight with Capitol Police about a metal detector.

White Power gang signs, guns on her shirt, and giving a tour of the Capitol to
these terrorist.

[NurseJackie]

60. Do they believe that this is an attractive or sexy look?

Maybe it's just my age showing... but I think they look trashy.

[SergeStorms]

66. Yeah...

the "women" in that picture pretty much define trashy, in my opinion.

[Caliman73]

69. Certain people within "gun culture" would think it is sexy.

My opinion is that anything that tries to mix guns with sex and sexuality is trashy.

[NurseJackie]

72. This too?

OMG... her face! Her lips! They pulled her out of the mold before the gel had finished hardening. What a trainwreck she is!

Here's a photo of the late Pete Burns... I think this is a preview of what's to come as soon as she gets her prenup settlement.

[Caliman73]

80. Do you remember the uh... enthusiasm around Palin?

For some reason, there are many people (men primarily) who are turned on by the idea of women posing with gun while wearing skimpy clothing, or in Palin's case, women with what could be termed objectively attractive features, who love guns.

I have not above the visual attraction of attractive women, but I have never understood the mixture of women and guns being a turn on. Then again, I have never understood the "sexiness" that many in gun culture find in the guns themselves. I may be a minority in this experience.

Melania may have been attractive at one point in her life. Obviously, she was a model so, someone saw attractiveness there. With her obvious surgical enhancements and her horrific personality and values, there is no attractiveness at all. In my own experience, you can meet standards of attractiveness that are widely held in society, but be such a horrible person, that the physical attractiveness is severely diminished. Melania would be an example of that for me.

[not fooled]

81. Ouch!

The waxing on Melania.



Stay klassy!

[PWPippinesq]

79. Trashy is as trashy does.

[smirkymonkey]

88. She is such trash.

It's honestly embarrassing that she is a member of Congress. Also, she's a high-school dropout. What a joke.

[highplainsdem]

2. If she helped them with this insurrection, she needs to be expelled and prosecuted.

[iluvtennis]

51. +++ agree. nt

[TheBlackAdder]

58. Capitol Police said not to use social media. Did she know it was broadcasted at the time, in hiding?

.

Even so, her post was confirmation that the "FAKE NEWS MSM" would have been correct.

Why did she even feel motivated to disclose such information when cowering during a siege?


Was she trying to redirect the mob to look somewhere else to get Pelosi, or was it more self-serving(out of fear)?

.

[onecaliberal]

63. Of course she knew. She was informing the insurrectionist of the whereabouts of the speaker in real

time. This anti-america scum needs to be removed now.

[Meowmee]

93. This

She tweeted info about the location of the speaker during the insurrection, I believe after being told not to by cp/ security. Who knows what else she has done. She has disobeyed new safety regulations as have other R. Expel them all.

[Arkansas Granny]

3. The same Lauren Boebert who was allegedly tweeting Speaker Pelosi's whereabouts while the

Capitol was under attack.

[iluvtennis]

52. + agree. And the same one who on Tuesday refused to let Capitol police search her bag when metal

detector went off as she tried to enter House chambers.

[bdamomma]

57. treasonous bitch

she should have not been seated.

[LakeVermilion]

4. Who would wear a bulletproof vest on a tour?

On a side note: do these people always flash "white power" in photos? Really?

[StarfishSaver]

5. I was just wondering the same thing!

[Wounded Bear]

13. Not sure that is bulletproof...

looks like a Tac vest with pockets for magazines, flashlight, etc.

Def part of the Cosplay costume, though.

[apnu]

14. Yes. (nt)

[uponit7771]

24. +1

[PatSeg]

35. Clearly they are as stupid as they are hateful

They seem comfortable advertising who they are and their intentions. So many of the insurrectionists not only didn't hide their identities, they proudly broadcast them. They really believe they are heroes apparently.

[Wounded Bear]

6. Pal-ing around with terrorists...

[servermsh]

7. You beat me to it. LOL n/t

[bluedigger]

8. My congresscritter is a seditionist.

What does one do about that?

(No offence was meant or intended to regular critters by this post.)

[likesmountains 52]

12. I'm wondering the same thing. I've left messages on Pelosi's phone.

[Lonestarblue]

39. Demand that she resign or be expelled from Congress.

Write letters to the editor of your major newspapers and to the head of the Republican Party in your state. Then keep writing letters. Write an opinion piece on insurrection and the duty that members of Congress have to uphold the Constitution, citing her failure to do just that and calling for her to resign.

I tried to find out whether I could start a citizens’ recall petition on Ted Cruz but evidently there is no such mechanism for members of Congress. I’m thinking of starting a petition demanding he resign on change.org, but I’ve never seen most of those petitions go anywhere.

We citizens seem to have little recourse when an elected official commits acts like these—other than being the squeaky wheel.

[bluedigger]

44. I wrote a LTE this morning in the local paper.

I forgot to ask for her resignation explicitly, but I did wonder why the FBI had not already picked her up as a leader of the insurrection, so I guess that was understood, sort of.

[likesmountains 52]

94. I'm sorry you're stuck over there in Patriot land....

bet they will be out in force this week.

[raccoon]

45. Great post. Nt

[likesmountains 52]

95. Thank you!

[Bluethroughu]

10. If she was walking these white supremacists through

the Capital, she needs to be removed from office, investigated, and imprisoned if she had anything to do with giving acceptance of breaking in to stop the vote.

[soothsayer]

11. Nice people

[BSdetect]

15. She had better lawyer up. But she aided terrorists so .....

[Botany]

16. What a sweetheart

https://vimeo.com/499485867

[niyad]

30. Is she deliberately going after the palin look? Her glasses.

[Botany]

42. I think she wears glasses just like Rick Perry to show she "is smart."

BTW she just got into a fight with the Capitol police about having to go through
a metal detector and show what is in her person.

https://www.cpr.org/2021/01/12/boebert-clashes-with-capitol-police-after-setting-off-metal-detectors/

[smirkymonkey]

89. What a fucking idiot!

[cbdo2007]

17. Yep, our Govt has been infiltrated by terrorist spies. Kick her out. Throw her in jail.

[KewlKat]

20. She's wearing her shooters grill tshirt. Is that allowed in our Capitol?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

22. If she gave them an inside tour of the Capitol...

... as another representative had witnessed happening by other members of Congress, when it was still closed to the public because of the pandemic, then she clearly was providing them with recon for the next day's insurrection!

Seditionist and traitor!

[Hotler]

23. Boycott Rifle Colorado. Let the Chamber of Commerce know. she is an embarrassment to my state. nt

[Marthe48]

25. It looks like she picked her side

The side against our country. If any of these people were either in the mob that invaded, or in any way from her passed information to people who were in the mob, she is complicit. She allegedly texted where Nancy Pelosi was or wasn't. Because of her link to qanon, this woman believes who knows what about other people in the House Chamber, the Senate and soon, the administration. How long can a war between outrageous lies and sanity go on her her head before she decides to be judge, jury and executioner in the Chamber? She is defiant about having her gun and she is a clear and present danger to her co-workers. She is a time-bomb abd she needs to be expelled now. She can be investigated and maybe go through a vetting process from a place removed from the Capitol Building.

[LiberalArkie]

40. Her congressional district selected her. Maybe she will not be allowed on any committees.

[George II]

26. How about that "white power" hand gesture half of them are displaying?

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. Low class. One thing tRump was right about.

[lindysalsagal]

28. Arrest her. I mean it.

[Liberal In Texas]

29. Throw her out and then arrest her for sedition. n/t

[cwydro]

31. At least three of them flashing the white power sign.

Idiots.

[Johnny2X2X]

32. Was that at the Capitol?

Not sure where or when this was taken.

[Tommymac]

70. Last summer.

Not sure what building that is in though.

[neohippie]

33. Okay don't believe everything you see

It appears that photo is from a rally in Colorado and the gesture is for 3% percenters

read this story

https://www.mediamatters.org/congress/gop-backed-qanon-congressional-nominee-lauren-boebert-rallied-far-right-militia-colorado

[Buckeye_Democrat]

37. Okay... THANK YOU!

I twice asked for confirmation beyond Twitter in another thread last night, and Google didn't help me to verify or contradict it at all.

[LeftInTX]

38. Gonna say by the way she was dressed, it looks like an early fall picture

She is sun burnt, both her and the other girl are wearing short sleeves etc. The angle of the sun etc

[PatSeg]

41. Yes, I suppose that should

have evident because they were dressed for warmer weather. The Tweet, however, merely said the photo was posted on her Instagram account the day before the terrorist attack. People just assumed it was in front of the Capitol.

[mackdaddy]

47. Thank you for this post!

This is from July 1st of last year story.

It is damning, but false stories give these people wiggle room.

I think she still needs to be investigated and questioned by the FBI as having associated with these people.

The house also needs to make clear what the rules are for having a weapon, and enforce those.

finally, Congressperson or not, the commercial implies that she was carrying a weapon in DC. Is that not illegal in the entire city? Should not the metro police stop and check her for a weapon and arrest her if she has an illegal weapon? I though no one was above the law.

[GusBob]

50. DUERS in 3 threads falling for this falsehood

How hard is it to be circumspect when it comes to an untrue depiction?

Back in the day this would have been pointed out by lots of DUERS looking for an accurate link

But because it's posted as a tweet folks don't think

[Buckeye_Democrat]

59. And it's still being treated as fact in even more threads.

There's little doubt in my mind that she wanted a successful insurrection, but we need to be more careful here with the facts.

[demmiblue]

61. +1

It is still a white power sign, though.

[neohippie]

64. and Boebert's still a Qanon nut who needs investigation

Don't get me wrong all the Qanon congress persons need to be investigated, Boebert still live tweeted about Pelosi's location, and refused to show her bag to security this morning.

These people need to be held accountable for their speech, and their actions, she also tweeted about this being 1776 the day of the attack and so on

[Buckeye_Democrat]

67. Agree about that! nt

[hadEnuf]

76. It was more like 1814.

[calimary]

77. Yep.

[Nitram]

43. Sedition.

[kysrsoze]

48. I see nothing but low-life trash.

[Silver1]

53. Her instagram account is suspended for 7 days.

Last edited Wed Jan 13, 2021, 09:49 PM - Edit history (1)

She can still send direct messages to individuals but no public posts.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_LQ7nndjp/

[radius777]

56. Boebert hanging out with traitors giving the 'ok' white privilege sign.

These people are the biggest victims in their own mind, what seems to drive them.

She needs to be expelled from Congress and tried for sedition.

[SierraPinecone]

62. ok

Send this pistol packin POS back to the CO town she came from and CO don't send crap like this to the people's house

[BradBo]

65. Do you see the white power sign?

At least two of them are throwing the sign. But they are masking it by turning their hands.

[muntrv]

71. Lock 'em up!!

[Captain Zero]

73. On twitter they are disputing date taken.

One saying Dec 5, 2031
Another saying July, 2020.

They are dressed more for Dec 5, between those 2.
Just saying.
In any case they look deplorable.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

75. Here's an article from July 2020 with the same pic.

https://www.mediamatters.org/congress/gop-backed-qanon-congressional-nominee-lauren-boebert-rallied-far-right-militia-colorado

It was posted earlier by another DU'er in this thread.

I agree that she's deplorable, regardless.

[BobTheSubgenius]

74. Here's an idiom she will enjoy.

Smoking gun.

[58Sunliner]

78. Unfit for office. She has a rap sheet too.

[Kingofalldems]

83. Is this the guy on the top right?

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

84. Not Jan 5.. possibly not even DC....

... is what I've been reading.... if anyone of them have been identified as a insurrectionist... it's just a coincidence (Likelihood) they would be part of Jan 6.

[Kingofalldems]

85. Never said it was.

[ARPad95]

86. Did the MAGAt on the right of her spill caustic chemicals from his very bad facial hair dye job

onto his left hand? It looks so bloated and discolored! Like a cadaver hand.

Oh, and Boebert is insane and needs to be removed from civil society! Where are the Victorian-era lunatic asylums when we need them?

[crickets]

87. This photo is not from Jan 5

Posted this morning:

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1349389218989031426.html

This photo of Rep @laurenboebert is being circulated by widely-followed accounts claiming some in the photo are Capitol insurrectionists and that Boebert gave them a tour the day before. I’ve seen no evidence to back that up. This photo is from Dec 2019 in Denver. #9News
Image
Per @emaulbetsch of @COTimesRecorder, whose article includes the photo, it’s from a right-wing extremist rally at the Colorado State Capitol in Dec 2019 where @laurenboebert appeared with the Three Percenters, an anti-government militia, and @PatrickForCO.

Original tweet posted by Kyle Clark, employee of 9 News Denver

Link to tweet

It's obvious Lauren Boebert is deeply involved with RW extremists, she is dangerous, and she appears to be involved in what happened Jan 6 at the Capitol. Whether she is the one who conducted the 'tours' is unknown, and this particular photo is unrelated. I have no doubt we're going to find out that Boebert was in it up to her neck, but it's important to keep the facts straight.


eta - Apologies for the shout, but it's a long thread. Also not aimed specifically at you, Kingofalldems. The photo and speculation have been circulating a lot since last night, so they is a fair amount of confusion surrounding it.

eta2 - removed shout. It was rude.

[Kingofalldems]

90. Show me where I posted it was from Dec. 5th.

[crickets]

92. You didn't.

I apologize if it seemed l was accusing you of anything. It was not intended. I read way too much about this photo last night and today and conflated some of those conversations with ones in this thread. Sincere mea culpa.

[mercuryblues]

91. Bye, bye, bang bang Barbie

[BlueJac]

96. Charge them now!
