Lauren Boebert Mocks Marjorie Taylor Greene's Big White Balloon

In case you’ve missed it: Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Co.), who don’t seem to realize that they are two sides of the same terrible coin, have been very publicly at war with each other for some time now. And that war continued apace on Tuesday with Boebert once again mocking Greene—this time for carrying a large white balloon around the U.S. Capitol all day ahead of Biden’s State of the Union address to symbolize the so-called “Chinese spy balloon” that the military safely shot down over the weekend.

When The Hill reporter Emily Brooks asked Boebert on Tuesday whether she was planning any kind of symbolic protest stunts for the SOTU, Boebert replied: “Well, I won’t be bringing a white helium balloon, if that’s what you’re asking.”




The shade was pretty obvious, as videos made their way around the internet showing Greene inexplicably navigating government hallways looking like she was on her way to a Nazi baby’s first birthday party.




Greene doesn’t even seem to understand the stunt she was pulling. She cited the song “99 Red Balloons” in a tweet, completely missing the symbolism of the classic song she was quoting.

both a joke around the world because of these stupid assholes and because of President Biden and the Democratic Party the symbol of how to survive a worldwide economic disaster.

Most of the American people have NO CLUE how bad things would be if the traitor was still prez.
