Lauren Boebert Attacks SNL After 'Poorly-Acted' Skit Mocks Her, Marjorie Taylor Greene

Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert attacked Saturday Night Live for being "poorly acted" after the comedy show mocked her and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene as part of a new holiday episode.

The satirical sketch aired Saturday evening and depicted the Republican congresswomen holding semi-automatic rifles and referring to the coronavirus pandemic as a "fake disease."

"The government has been using this fake disease to strip us of our freedoms. Do they think we're dumb?" asked Greene, (played by Cecily Strong) to which Boebert (Chloe Fineman) replied, "Please, would they give a dumb person a gun? Yes."

"First, they said the shutdowns were until they found a vaccine," Greene continued. "Then they found a vaccine and said it worked. Then they said everyone should get it. Then people got it and it saved their lives. If that's not communism, then honey, I might not know what communism is."

On Sunday morning, Boebert responded by issuing an attack against the long-running NBC comedy show on Twitter.

Just saw the poorly-acted SNL skit from last night.

I agree with Boebert. They made her look more intelligent than she really is.

1. Don't like being mocked Rep. Bobert?

Stop saying stupid things on the Internet. You too, MTG and wheelchair Bro. Say dumb shit, except ridicule in return.

2. Telling

When you hit that dog with a rock, it yelps.

3. Simple solution. Let her appear as guest host and just talk.

6. I hear she has a great standup routine.

I double-dog dare her. 🤣

4. why do these snowflakes keep whining about SNL?

SNL has been lampooning politicians for longer than i've been alive. and the same people that call liberals "snowflakes" are the first batch i've ever seen actually complain about it.

5. It was a funny skit

I’ve already used one of its lines in a Facebook argument today.
Some moron who was being trashed for saying that even advocating masks, and not just mandates, were a sign of tyranny. He had already dropped the terms Nazis and Communists.
I replied that “Well, if the government trying to prevent its citizens from dying isn’t pure Communism, then I don’t have any idea what Communism is.”
He didn’t respond but I got a lot of likes and chuckles from the crowd.

7. So, content wasn't the issue, it was the quality of the portrayal?

I guess they feel it takes a lot of acting skill to portray dumb in a believable manner. Best to let the real thing do it as only they can.

8. And they call us snowflakes..

9. SNL Should do a skit where Greene & Boebert are lesbian lovers.

That will drive both of them crazy!

10. It's satire. SNL has enough material to work with, like married MTG shagging gym dudes...

with that cross 'round her neck. Qbert marrying the guy who exposed himself at a bowling alley and their domestic abuse charges, as well as her arrest record. No need to make stuff up.

11. LOL!
