As the nation reels from another unbelievably tragic mass shooting, leave it to Rep. Lauren Boebert to pop into the public discourse to say the worst possible thing. She does seem to have a gift for it.
Appearing on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program, Boebert called former Rep. Beto O’Rourke a “jerk” for publicly confronting Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over the GOP’s gun policies.
But she managed to eclipse the stupidity of that attack with her next comment.
“When 9/11 happened, we didn’t ban planes, we secured the cockpits,” Boebert, who owns a gun-themed restaurant called Shooters Grill, said.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The comment got the exact amount of respect it deserved on social media.
I’m not saying that Lauren Boebert is stupid. I’m saying she’s really fucking stupid.

It's official now. Lauren Boebert has been called the dumbest member of Congress. Just another prestigious distinction for the Republican Party.

When you look the word “DUMB” up in the dictionary, Lauren Boebert’s picture comes up!

I have a plastic houseplant that’s smarter than Lauren Boebert.

Dumbness is a feature, not a bug.

The sad part is, she really believes in the BS she’s saying. You can’t fix stupid.

I say this with all the disrespect: @laurenboebert is the dumbest person in Congress. She makes MTG and Tommy Tuberville look like Rhodes Scholars. https://t.co/QwM4aQ5FDM

There are so many things wrong with this, but I’ll key in on this: airport security has gotten so much tighter since 9/11. I can’t even wear shoes going through security anymore. When a few planes killed a bunch of people we made air travel safer. Why can’t we do that with guns? https://t.co/bw0rhRHmVU

Rep. Paul “the shooter was a transsexual leftist illegal alien” Gosar is ready to mud wrestle Rep. Boebert for the title.
Prax07
Boebert, Greene, Gosar, Cawthorne, Hawley, Abbott, Cruz, Desantis…all of them, not high IQ people, add in all their mental illness as well…GOP is like a special Ed class on crack.
Kangol2
True, though they also have high-IQ right-wing monsters like Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Dan Sullivan, Elise Stefanik, JD Vance, Dr. Oz, etc. The GQP doesn’t just attract the dumb ones, it also attracts the very smart–and power-hunger, often racist, sexist and misogynistic, homophobic/transphobic, and truly phony ones!

its more MANSON-FAMILY VALUES, but charlie became president and squeaky fromme got elected to congress along with susan atkins and patricia krenwinkle.

she might as well ditch the glasses… everyone knew it was a prop and she never was smart in any way.

The glasses are for eye protection during blowjobs.
GrizzleyMichael
She is dumb, stupid, idiot. as well as her slutty girlfriend MTG
My2CentsWorth
In order for a woman to be a slut she has to have appeal to some guys. I can’t imagine that there are any guys who are so hard up that they would want to indulge in sex with her.

I bet she stayed up all night coming up with that. I’ll say it again. Colorado. Come get your dog out of our yard!

Rocky Mountain High…it’s proof positive that drugs and voting don’t mix.

The problem is not just stupid people. There are stupid people in every country and human history is a veritable tsunami of stupid people. Stupid people are here to stay. The problem is that social media has given stupid people an unprecedented platform to continually broadcast stupidity, thereby building communities and voter blocs based on stupid ideas and stupid values. The problem is that the US currently has too many stupid, short-sighted people in positions of power and leadership, using their authority to further guide the stupid, the gullible, the innocent – and all the rest of us – to ruin.
Kangol2
But the problem in the US isn’t just “stupid” people. Some of the smartest people, in both parties, and across the ideological spectrum, participate in terrible policy and actions, with devastating effects for this country and the globe. George W. Bush had many very smart people around him. I abhor Condoleezza Rice, but she is without question a very smart woman. Yet she actively aided W Bush in pushing one of the most disastrous wars (the Iraq War) the US has launched. Many of the people involved in pushing that disastrous war were very smart, including people in the “liberal” media (cf. New York Times), event though it was clear to anyone who really looked at what was happening that Saddam Hussein, horrible as he was, had ZERO to do with the 9/11 attacks AND the evidence being presented by W Bush and his goons was a sham. Why did so few smart people in the GQP speak up and out against that war? Why were the “liberal” media and so many Democrats swept up in the frenzy? Obama denounced the war, as did some others, but quite a few people, including Hillary Clinton, who is a brilliant woman, went along with it. We are still suffering from the effects of that war, and the one in Afghanistan, which many very, very smart people from both parties fully supported!
Mister P
Prax07. You have Rand Paul crying on his pity pot because you left him off the list

I just said something that totally makes sense. Why are people calling me stoopid? Lauren Boebert
LMG
Poor Lauren Boebert. She hasn’t yet recovered from her botched frontal lobotomy. And Hannity just sits and listens to this outpouring of pure effluvia without so much as a hiccup. Boebert has the brains of a douchebag with apologies to the douchebag which is absolutely smarter and of more use.
Prowelsh56
Like the rest of us ” she was kid once.” What the hell happened? The interesting thing would be to find some old school pals..was she always a nut job?
JasperW
Lauren has God given right to be stupid. No one can take that away from her.
fredk3
I lined my cat’s litter box with pictures of her mannish face.
My2CentsWorth
That is a good way to make a cat constipated.
Jimmynj
So Beto’s a jerk for confronting a gun loving governor, but her and her fellow ilk Marjorie heckling the President during the State of the Union address is fine. Hypocrite.
johncp56
Ditto Beto was spot on, the majority Of the GOP are Hypocritic criminals, things need to change, No!! more moments of silence and praying!! laws need to be corrected, not more guns in schools
