Lauren Boebert has joined the far-right chorus of disapproval against The North Face. The outdoorsy clothing brand this week unveiled its latest Pride collection. To help promote the collection, it recruited eco-campaigner and drag queen, Pattie Gonia.
In the promo, the drag queen implores people to “come out”… as in ‘come outdoors to enjoy nature.’
Cute, right?
After boycotts against Bud Light and Target, the new North Face campaign has enraged MAGA Republicans.
Boebert is the latest to call for the brand to be canceled.
“Well, I guess North Face wanted to get a taste of what conservatives did to Bud Light and Target,” the lawmaker (R-CO) tweeted yesterday.
“How many times do we have to explain to the woke marketing departments at these disgusting companies that America is not a nation of degenerates? It’s time to boycott ANY product North Face has ever made. Let’s make it as shameful to wear North Face as it is to drink Bud Light!”
Deputies visit Boebert home after 911 call
By coincidence, Boebert’s tweet happened to drop on the same day that Insider ran a report about cops paying visits to the Boebert household in recent months.
It seems they responded to complaints against Boebert’s husband, Jayson.
Lauren, 36, announced last month that she was divorcing her husband of 18 years.
One incident took place on December 11 last year. One of Lauren’s teenage sons called 911 and said his father was “throwing” him around the house. The sobbing teen told cops “He called me a psycho, when he’s the…”, he added, trailing off.
Asked where his mom, Lauren, was, the boy said she was staying in the farmhouse adjacent to their main home, as his parents were going through some issues.
Cops were dispatched. However, within minutes, the teen called back and recanted the allegations of a physical altercation.
“All I wanted to say is me and my dad were starting to yell. He didn’t really get physical with me.”
Mom Lauren then took the phone from him and told the dispatcher, “OK. There was an argument over dinner. I understand you guys got to come and talk to them … Just to let you know, I have him,” she told the dispatcher in a recording heard by Insider. “He doesn’t need help. But yeah, they can come here.”
Deputies say they visited the home to check on the son. No further action was taken.
Jayson Boebert denied getting physical with the boy but said there had been an argument and he ordered his son to the farmhouse to cool off.
”He overreacted. We’re back to being a family,” he told Insider.
Lauren Boebert told the outlet, “The safety and well-being of my family are the most important things in the world to me. We’ve had some tough times and heartache. I’ve taken action to ensure there are better days ahead for all of us.”
The report does not identify which of the Boebert kids called the police. Their eldest son, 18, recently made headlines when it emerged he’d got his girlfriend pregnant. According to Lauren Boebert, the baby was due last month. Lauren has declined to give the girlfriend’s age, only to say she is “over 14.”
Mailbox
Last August, deputies paid another visit to the Boebert residence. A neighbor alleged Jayson had threatened him and was attempting to run over his mailbox. The neighbor had previously complained about one of the Boebert boys speeding down the street in a dune buggy.
By the time deputies arrived, the neighbors appeared to have worked things out and no charges were filed.
Online, many rolled their eyes at Lauren Boebert’s latest call for a boycott.
I’m not sure what triggered you Bobo, but my bet is that North Face is on the right side of history.

Boo hoo hoo. . . Cancel culture is evil. . . Boo hoo. . Also, Boycott companies we don’t agree with. . .

Yea, don’t actually fix anything or do anything — just get your constituents to boycott products in the name of a word you can’t even define.

I think I’ll just put on my North Face and go buy some Bud Light at Target.

Mister P
She sure is judgmental for someone who thinks only god can judge.
Fname Optional Lname
She has the Trump ego where they only have the ability to believe everyone who does not see the world through their eyes is evil and against them. I feel bad for her children – cannot imagine what day to day life is like with that as your mother.

The Biden administration announced the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism to protect Jewish communities across the US this week.
Biden released a video about the new strategy, saying hate has been “given too much oxygen” in recent years and has fuelled a “record rise in antisemitism.”
But Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert denounced the plan in a tweet to her 2.5 million followers: “When they say stuff like this, they mean they want to go after conservatives.”
She just admitted conservatives are hateful and anti-semitic. Thanks for the confirmation of what we’ve known all along, you dimwit.
ZzBomb
Pretty sure most of her constituents, who voted for her, can’t afford North Face gear anyway. And honey, no one cares about Bud Lite either.
abfab
And they don’t hike or climb mountains. They tear thru the wilds in Caddalac Escalades and Hummers.

They probably wear Dickies and Timberlands, though. Same parent company. It’ll take them a weak to realize that…
Godabed
that age 14 comment is very specific. Notice she didn’t say 15, so she’s probably 14 and a 1/2. This family is complete trash.
Fname Optional Lname
Yes, in Lauren’s logic 14 years and 1 day old is over 14. They constantly hide under the “what about the children” distraction when they’re home life is more chaotic than any episode of the Trailer Park Boy’s. She is human garbage and I feel bad for her children. I cannot imagine what their day to day is like.
jcool
a – bud light lost business not because of kid rock, but because they turned their backs on dylan out of cowardice. half of the gay bars in america stopped carrying anheuser busch products.
b – if she really cares about the children she should have her husband imprisoned.
c – luckily for her teen son and his underage girlfriend, raising a child is less expensive than birth control. how much do condoms cost?
Mack
If she cared for kids, she would support a gun ban rather than supporting the weapons of murder.

I can’t wait for the big shoot-out at the OK Corral….

aim for her cooter

jcool said cooter! lol

Has she ever heard of Aspen or Vail? Big time North Face ski-queens flaunting the brand she is actually now promoting. But she’s too dumb to know that.
Mr. Stadnick
She is a Klanny Granny with no real abilities or original ideas.
Kangol2
Klanny Granny–perfect!

She really is a Granny too – @ age 36, just like her momma was. The hood falls close to the robe up there on the Western Slope, apparently.

I call bullsh*t on the denials about the father abusing the son; child services should have been called.
Kangol2
This woman is a mouth-breathing billboard for GQP family values! She’s worried about drag queens but should be worried about her hubby, who exposed himself to teen girls while she allegedly was present, and who was abusing the son so much he told the cops the creep did this to him “all the time”! The phone recordings sound like things were pretty bad at Casa Boebert. She’s clearly too imbecilic to focus, though, so voters should do it for her and send her packing in 2024–just anywhere but to Washington!
JTinToronto
Crackers. Completely crackers. And so is anyone who voted for her.
ScottOnEarth
What’s particularly interesting to me is that this complete idiot of a woman is engaging in blatant, in-your-face bigotry and discrimination – calling Queer people “degenerates’ simply because we exist – and no one calls her out for it. Bobo and her pathetic ilk are nothing but ignorant bigots who seek to use their positions to (further) marginalize already-marginalized groups of people, in the name of fake religions, rather than do anything productive. This is nothing but pure evil.
Den
She won election by some tiny margin; something like a few hundred votes. And yet she acts as if God himself gave her a mandate. Given she has done nothing to address the needs of her constituents she’ll have to go back to making salmonella sliders, or try to get a bar back job at hooters.
mildredspierce
Boobette doesn’t bother me. She epitomizes her stereotype. I can almost hear the duelling banjo music when she runs her mouth.

Engaging in stereotypes doesn’t combat same. I understand the outrage, but, really……..

Bats**t Barbie needs to STFU !! With those beaver teeth & a FAILED marriage she has NO room pointing fingers. NO wonder her soon to be estranged hubby drank. This from the ding a ling whose 19 year old son committed STATUTORY rape and impregnated his UNDERAGE girlfriend !!!

The Boeberts parallel the Palins.
Should we expect a reality show to come?
How the GOP are attacking corporate America can’t be good for their electability. e.g. Boebert won by such a slim margin last time. I sense that she is going down, and I don’t mean in her usual way.
Stefano
Are you really sure about this? I have a feeling she probably doesn’t even know what a blow job is…and anyway, with her buck teeth.
I feel sorry for the poor guy! Although during the act, she can’t talk, and that’s a plus!
