Lauren Boebert Slams David Hogg for Not ‘Stopping to Be Questioned’ When Accosted by Taylor-Greene

By

Oh dear god. One wants to look away, like when one passes a horrific wreck on the interstate, saying a silent prayer for the occupants, knowing it’s too late.

Today, David Hogg tweeted that fencing will not protect the representatives in the House because the real threats were already inside as members. He called out Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.

He said the exact same thing that Nancy Pelosi said earlier in the day.

Except in lashing out, Boebert didn’t dare go after Nancy Pelosi. Boebert is far too afraid of punching over her weight. Additionally, it is possible that Boebert feels a bit of heat given that there’s likely an investigation into whether she directed the hordes storming the Capitol regarding Pelosi’s position.

But Boebert did go straight at David Hogg with a disgustingly vile tweet. In a sick way, it makes perfect sense that Boebert would go after Hogg and not Pelosi. All Boebert seems to care about is her fcking gun and Hogg only represents a threat to that gun, whereas Pelosi remains a threat to everything.

Boebert called out Hogg for not “stopping to answer questions” when Marjorie Taylor-Greene accosted him on the street, just weeks after Hogg and the rest of his schoolmates were attacked by a man wielding a rifle. Back then, Taylor-Greene demanded that Hogg, then an 18-year-old kid, stop and answer her questions. She also said she had a concealed carry permit while holding a big handbag. It was a threat and Hogg took it as a threat. But, because 18-year-old Hogg was braver and more mature than us, he simply continued to silently walk, ignoring the woman who called him a paid actor.

Boebert supports that woman and clawed at David Hogg in a manner that would get her kicked out of school, but apparently not the Republican party:

Disgusting and vile human being.

Yes. That is exactly what we thought. But then again, Boebert emulates her hero, Donald John Trump, who perfected the tweet insult.

People were shocked.

She deserves it now.

Yes.

He is not technically a child anymore but, yes, we do know and understand.

And Hogg responded just as we’d expect from David Hogg, with class:

Yes.

Disgusting. We have to drive by. Because we’re still not as mature, nor as brave, as David Hogg.

Peace, y’all
