Boebert paid someone to take her GED "after she failed it for the second time."

Boebert sounds like TFG who had to pay someone to take his SATS

1. This is hearsay.

If there isn’t any actual evidence, this is useless information.

[Enter stage left]

4. You're most likely right...

but I'd love to see her try to color inside the lines in a 2nd grade test.

[LeftInTX]

8. I agree. You would have to be really, really stupid.

She appears to be of average intelligence.

Her morals and motives are questionable, but that's a different issue.

[orleans]

13. "average intelligence" doesn't necessarily mean

she studied for the ged, or even brushed up on what she was going to be tested for

btw--i consider her to be below average intelligence

[Irish_Dem]

23. But she is obviously intellectually lazy and has no moral core.

The story certainly fits her profile.

[Sapient Donkey]

12. Correct.

However, totally checks out if true. I am often amazed at the stupid stuff that comes from her. I am certain it’s not just a front either. She truly is as shallow and dense as she presents.

[Midnight Writer]

26. Occupy Democrats is not a reliable news source.

This is like "a guy on the street told my cousin's brother-in-law" type of reporting that is similar to RW "people are saying" stories.

[gratuitous]

30. The media should give it all the credence they gave to the Hunter Biden laptop story

Or the Michelle Obama honky tape.

[0rganism]

35. it's a documentary, not a criminal trial

how many times have the GQP pulled baseless shit out of their asses to hurl at our representatives? I don't see them get all worked up over standards of evidence and such, because what they do works for them.

If it's not the case, Rep. Boebert has the same recourse to slander-prevention as any other public figure: show that the allegation is false and prove it's distributed maliciously rather than in error.

> this is useless information.
not at all. It looks to me like a non-fantastical unexceptional allegation that may hurt her in her re-election bid next year. Not all useful information comes with direct proof.

2. That tweet doesn't really conform to high journalistic standards

A film maker who knows someone who has a friend who said Boebert told him...

3. lol. Maybe not true but she does seem this stupid to not be able to pass it.

GED isn't exactly Advanced courses.

Maybe about 8th grade or even 6th.

[BlueTsunami2018]

5. This would be the least shocking news if it were confirmed.

It’s too bad there doesn’t seem to be any way to do that from what’s been reported. It’s just a rumor at this stage.

[littlemissmartypants]

11. Welcome to DU, dharma boots. nt

[dalton99a]

7. Well, she does have an elementary/middle school diploma

[Moebym]

9. Admitting to failing twice is one thing

Paying someone to take the test is quite another. It's Trumpesque.

10. Twitter reply:

14. great reply! nt

[Rhiannon12866]

15. That's what baffles me, too.

[not fooled]

16. Poorly educated people of low intelligence

want to elect someone that's just like them. They don't want to vote for someone smarter or better educated. Same dumbassery that got chimpy within stealing distance of the White House.

That's my theory.

[Demobrat]

18. You beat me by a minute n/t

[Demobrat]

17. It does explain why people voted for her.

They voted for her because she’s one of them.

Republicans don’t like educated people. Educated people make them feel like they might not be superior after all.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. Sounds just the opposite of most Democrats

Jimmy Carter was a nuclear physicist, Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, Barack Obama was a Constitutional scholar and Joe Biden not only had a law degree, but he'd served 30 years in the Senate and 8 years in the Executive Branch, has to be our most experienced POTUS ever. Sounds like Democrats prefer leaders who are likely smarter than they are - which makes perfect sense to me!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

44. Yep

45. Not to mention:

20. If this is true- then the governing body

that tested her needs to investigate, and rescind it if there is evidence of fraud.

Otherwise, it's just a rumor.

[hatrack]

22. Well, this is certainly believable, but . . . .

Needs confirmation.

[Bettie]

24. I don't know if it is true

but it doesn't seem out of the ballpark for this trash person.

[MustLoveBeagles]

38. +1

[Hugin]

25. Let's see...

The GED covers: Science, Math, Language Arts, and Social Studies. None of which is even remotely in BD Boebert's ballpark.

There's only one way to find out...

Challenge her to take it again.

28. Willful stupidity is a badge of honor

amongst the American Taliban. This, even if true will make no difference to Ms. Bobbleberts cult.

[FakeNoose]

29. If this is true, it means she's even dumber than Chump

Chump earned his own high school diploma at least, as far as we know. Whatever SAT scores or college grades he might have earned honestly, well ... that's a matter for debate.

[dsc]

31. If she took the GED recently it is actually a non trivial test

it has been revamped in the past few years and made considerably harder. That said, this is hearsay so kind of worthless.

[Hassler]

32. Dopebert is even dumber than Louie Goemer.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

33. Louie somehow passed the bar exam

Louie actually was a judge for a while

[Hassler]

37. I wonder who he paid to take his bar exam. This is Texas after all

.

[Blue Owl]

34. Someone with those credentials has no business in a position of leadership or power

[Texasgal]

36. How the hell do they VET these people?

I mean really? I guess any dumbass can run and serve?

[TexasBushwhacker]

39. The GED is written on a 9th to 10th grade reading level

Of course, her problem might have been math.

[LiberalFighter]

40. What Wiki does say is that she didn't receive her GED until 2020.

16 years after she should have graduated.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

41. Does anyone now doubt that this idiot paid someone to take GED for her?
