This photo of Rep @laurenboebert is being circulated by widely-followed accounts claiming some in the photo are Capitol insurrectionists and that Boebert gave them a tour the day before. Ive seen no evidence to back that up. This photo is from Dec 2019 in Denver. #9News

Per @emaulbetsch of @COTimesRecorder, whose article includes the photo, its from a right-wing extremist rally at the Colorado State Capitol in Dec 2019 where @laurenboebert appeared with the Three Percenters, an anti-government militia, and @PatrickForCO.

It's obvious Lauren Boebert is deeply involved with RW extremists, she is dangerous, and she appears to be involved in what happened Jan 6 at the Capitol. Whether she is the one who conducted the 'tours' is unknown, and this particular photo is unrelated. I have no doubt we're going to find out that Boebert was in it up to her neck, but it's important to keep the facts straight.
eta - Apologies for the shout, but it's a long thread. Also not aimed specifically at you, Kingofalldems. The photo and speculation have been circulating a lot since last night, so they is a fair amount of confusion surrounding it.
eta2 - removed shout. It was rude.

If she helped them with this insurrection, she needs to be expelled and prosecuted.

Capitol Police said not to use social media. Did she know it was broadcasted at the time, in hiding?
