In Pathetic Attempt to Justify Heckling at SOTU, Boebert Makes Up Non-Existent Army Rank in ‘Letter’ From Gold Star Mom

They don't call her Slowbert for nothing...

Lauren Boebert wants to talk about how she was 100% justified in screaming out and heckling Joe Biden during the State of the Union, which now sort of seems to be a GOP tradition.

She needed to promote her heckling so she took a video of herself sporting a new glam look with filter-lighting to make her look like yet another GOP “babe” (the path to stardom in the GOP, whereas the Dems have stars that happen to simply be real women, Elizabeth Warren, Katie Porter, Diane Feinstein, etc.), Boebert first says that what she did was nothing compared to Pelosi’s disrespectful tearing up the speech after Trump’s State of the Union.

No, she is not kidding. She fully believes that Pelosi’s actions were far more disrespectful. Pelosi did not interrupt the message, she took her own copy (everyone in attendance has a copy of the speech beforehand, obviously) and simply ripped it up. Every non-MAGA knew why; Because Trump just so obviously lied his way through it and blamed Democrats for everything. NO one, and we mean no one, divided America like Donald Trump. Biden went out of his way several times to specifically include Republicans in something that got done or something he thought was a good idea. Futile or not, he wants to unite the country.

Shouting out, interrupting the president’s most important speech of the year is far worse. Moreover, she blamed Biden for something in which he’s entirely blameless, the loss of 13 lives in the Afghan evacuation. We don’t know how many times we have to report this, but the deaths were the result of a terrorist attack by ISIS, not an attack by the Taliban.

ISIS is the group that Trump basically surrendered to in leaving northern Iraq and Syria.

So, we’re now holding presidents accountable for random terrorist attacks? Well fck, how could there ever be a Republican again after 9-11? The anthrax? Or how about January 6th when we talk terrorist attacks, Lauren! Or maybe we should start calling the mass shootings – under which Trump we had the most and worst, as terrorist attacks?

Lauren goes on to read a “letter” she got from a family member of one of the servicemen killed. We recall one of them being a HUGE MAGA fan and blamed the entire thing on Joe Biden. The letter was almost surely from that mother. Lauren pretends to read the letter and notes that woman is the mother of Lt. Corporal…  Except there is no such thing as a lieutenant corporal. A lieutenant is a commissioned officer, a corporal is a non-commissioned officer (Non-comm) and a member of Congress really should know that. There are lance corporals, obviously, but not Lieutenant corporals. Thus, we’re left to wonder, did Lauren really get the letter from the mother (who was a total MAGA anyway) or did Lauren just talk to the mother about it and agree it would make a good video?

We can’t know. We only know this is typical Boebert:
