Boebert has been in the hot seat online after defending President Donald Trump's claims of election fraud and also saying he did not incite any of the violence seen when pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol.

Critics have also accused her of inciting the violent mob on Jan. 6 through her Twitter posts.

Boebert denounced Twitter's decision to ban Trump from using its services, saying "unelected tech oligarchs should not have such massive power over global discourse."

Thousands of people online and across Colorado have asked for the newly elected congresswoman to resign. But she fired back on Monday saying Democrats and "Hollywood elites" are hypocrites and are also to blame for escalating political division.

1. Nobody forced her to join Twitter

fucking twit

[orleans]

28. sadly it is not locked

Link to tweet

[Rorey]

2. Yes!

Hopefully she'll be out by then. I despise her more than I can express.

[onetexan]

3. Dumb woman. You break their policies they have the right to lock your butt out.

[Sneederbunk]

4. Any chance of locking up Boebert until Inauguration Day?

[Dr.Bluebird42]

26. When will we learn

that you can't reason with a tiger while your head is in his mouth?

[MustLoveBeagles]

38. +1

Welcome to DU

[Dr.Bluebird42]

50. Thank you!

I do love beagles!

6. The right will soon grow weary of her foolishness.

Just like Sarah Palin, she will become a has-been who will show her face to stir things up when she needs to make a buck or is afraid people will forget her. She fits right in with the insurrectionists Trump incited on January 6.
I have no doubt he thinks of her just like he described them. "Low class".

[NoRoadUntravelled]

16. Your statement is spot on in all its aspects.

She's front and center as a side show distraction which should not be tolerated. Every Republican in Congress flouting the law, minimizing the attempted overthrow of the US government and arguing against the impeachment of the Inciter in Chief is un-American.

[Harker]

47. Right on, Chin music...

A brush back pitch probably won't suffice.

This sort revels in the badass imagery and noteriety that comes with attracting negative attention.

She's playing to an audience. No doubt.

[Marthe48]

17. She's like sour milk

all you need is a sip to realize it's no good

[NoRoadUntravelled]

18. Exactly! nt

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

33. She's one of those "poorly educated" Trump loves so much.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

41. He does love them, doesn't he?

Maybe he believes it makes him look like even more of a stable genius.

7. There is lot more to this

I am hoping that the FBI and the DOJ are looking seriously at this House member for sedition. Prior to the 6th, evidence shows that Boebert led now identified insurrectionists that participated in the violence on the 6th on a special tour of he Capital. Then during the insurrection, Boebert tweeted to her followers (which we know must include those in the mobs) the movements and location of Speaker Pelosi. It seems like she was planning for this or at least felt the need to participate. I really hope that there is some activity on this by law enforcement to at least look at her actions, and that the House needs to expel her as well. She seems a bit clueless about the connecting dots here. She may want to start talking to a lawyer just in case.

13. She was supposedly in a meeting with Trump on Sunday, Jan 3, just 3 days before the assault.

Along with several other repuke reps. I would link to it but I can't find the story now. It's as if it's been scrubbed or something.

11. Hilarious!

[catrose]

12. I wish the Capitol police could make her follow the rules.

After 9/11, the rest of us couldn't go to a movie without having our purchases and purses searched. Despite open carry in my state, just about every building forbids you from bringing a gun on the premises. Why is she so special?

[William Seger]

23. According to her ads, she's special because she's from the "real America"

[marble falls]

14. Sure they do, don't even shop owners reserve the right to refuse service? And then ToS's.

[IcyPeas]

15. good! it's a start.

[William Seger]

19. Liberals are "escalating political division" between liberal democracy and fascism?

Funny how you're against that, Lauren, only after you realize you're on the losing side.

[niyad]

20. I wonder whose sock puppet she is, as she is not bright enough to come up with terms and

concepts like "global discourse" on her own

And the EGO to think that her insane ramblings and bs are worth the notice of the global,populace????? Ohhh myyyy.

[kimbutgar]

21. I would not be surprised if she was involved in trying to overthrow the capitol and she gets exposed

[Initech]

22. Womp womp!

[Swamp Country Po Boy]

24. YOU Should be Locked

Until your good buddy Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus comes back and Sets You Free!

[bdamomma]

25. Get her out

and Marjorie Green they infiltrated the Congress, and Boebert likes to carry her gun into the chamber what is wrong with this picture.

[orangecrush]

27. Closing in

Getting claustrophobic yet, Lauren?

Don't worry, you will.

[colorado_ufo]

29. I want more than resignation from this insurrectionist.

I want accountability. She is a humiliation to Colorado. I am appalled and disgusted that she comes from the Western Slope.

[iluvtennis]

30. This Boebert really rubs me the wrong way. She thinks she is above

the law/ policies, including Twitter’s terms of service,

[JohnnyRingo]

31. Time now for the victim tears.

Why are they picking on her?
The Chinese Communists in Congress and George Soros must be behind it.

After all, she loves half her country more than anyone.

[lark]

32. There are pictures of her with some of the people arrested for sedition taken on 1/5.

She too helped the sedition and needs to be removed from Congress.

[oasis]

43. She has to answer some serious questions in the weeks to come. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

44. Not Quite True

She posted those pix with the 3% slimballs on her Instagram account on the 5th.
But, the pix were actually from midsummer.
The original report on that was sloppy.

[gopiscrap]

34. fuck her, she needs to go to jail

[Efilroft Sul]

35. Poor Magacoup Barbie.

Womp. Womp.

[Rebl2]

36. Should be

locked permanently

[George II]

37. Looks like it's been restored.

[dchill]

39. So, Lauren, it's NOT 1776. It's 2021. Keep up!

You'll soon find many things have changed.

[AntiFascist]

40. Rep. Castro seems to agree...

Boebert is a danger to Congress after tweeting "this is 1776"

[MustLoveBeagles]

42. Womp womp!

I have no sympathy for Traitor Barbie. It's too bad Twitter didn't shut her down permanently. She needs to be expelled and arrested.

[Progressive Jones]

45. Her husband is a pedophile. nt

[Polybius]

46. Update: Twitter says it was a mistake, and unblocked her account

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.denverpost.com/2021/01/13/lauren-boebert-twitter-temporary/amp/

However, after a review, the social media platform’s staff determined they had ruled in error and instead flagged as disputed Boebert’s Jan. 9 tweet that falsely accused Democrats of rigging the 2020 election.

“In this instance, our teams took the incorrect enforcement action,” the spokesperson said in an email. “The Tweet will not be required to be removed and the account will not be temporarily locked.”

[nakocal]

48. Lauren Boebert is fucking clueless

The reason that Trump vetoed the Defense appropriation bill is that he wanted to have a law changed so that companies like Twitter could be sued for their content. So when Twitter (and other companies) ban people who would post content that would have opened them to law suits under Trumps requested law change ...

[Cronezilla]

49. Meet the new media wh0re...

...same as the old (twice impeached) media wh0re.
That female canine needs to be muzzled
and fitted with a correction collar right now!

[FakeNoose]

51. I think she's supposed to be the Repukes' answer to AOC

... but she's still a moran, no matter what.

[Cronezilla]

52. I agree, now that you bring it up...

... what sane person could vote for that screaming Me!Me! in the first place?!?!? Mind boggled here.
