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. I’ve 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, it’s 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.
