26. I tried to give Rep Boebert the benefit of the doubt.

I thought that maybe the sound of a firearm firing and re-chambering was her video tag - something she always used to end a video. Granted, really poor taste but just a gimmick - not really a threat.

However, it didn't take to much time on the Google-machine to see that this is not a standard tag. See, for example (if you can stomach it):

This was intended as a threat.
