Boebert takes out space blanket during Biden speech to draw attention to border surge

[demmiblue]

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) displayed a thermal space blanket similar to those distributed to migrants held at detention facilities at the southern border during President Biden's address to Congress on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for Boebert told The Hill that she was trying to highlight the recent surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

"President Biden did not address or bring attention to the crisis at our southern border. So Rep. Boebert did," the spokesperson said.

Boebert tweeted about 30 times providing real-time reactions to Biden's address, including multiple missives questioning the social distancing measures in place during the event, making references to Biden's son, Hunter, and highlighting the surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

4. Governing is all theater to people like Boebert

They went to DC to put on a show, not to actually work.

6. Exactly. She's one of Ted Cruz's happy little elves.

[PatSeg]

8. People like her don't have any real talent

but they want to be famous for being famous. If you can't go into show biz or get a reality TV show, just go into politics as a republican. The same with Matt Gaez and Marjorie Taylor Greene, all stunts and show, but no real substance.

Wonder if it did?

Her only contribution is bomb throwing.
