Nancy Pelosi’s husband was reportedly arrested Saturday for DUI in California. Paul Pelosi, 82, was held after his Porsche was involved in a collision with another vehicle in Napa County. TMZ was first to report the arrest.
Paul Pelosi has not issued any statement, and Nancy Pelosi’s office has said she will not be commenting on this “private matter”.
Of course, that didn’t stop several other lawmakers from rushing to social media to offer their opinion.
One of the first to gloat on the issue was Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, who tweeted, “This Memorial Day weekend, remember not to drink and drive. Save a life, call an Uber.”
It appears to be a responsible, safety-conscious message until you realize she purposefully tagged Nancy Pelosi in the tweet.
This Memorial Day weekend, remember not to drink and drive.
Save a life, call an Uber.@SpeakerPelosi

The internet was very quick to remind Boebert that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. It’s not like Boebert or her husband have never been in trouble with the law.
Boebert is known to have been hanging out with her future husband by the time she was 17. At around this time, Jayson Steven Boebert pleaded guilty to charges of “public indecency and lewd exposure“, after an incident at a bowling alley in which he reportedly took his penis out of his pants to show off a tattoo to two young women.
Boebert was also present at the time. Jayson was sentenced to four days in jail and a subsequent two years on probation.
In 2020, when running for Congress, the Denver Post revealed Boebert herself had a history of minor arrests: on at least four occasions in the previous decade. This included alleged harassment of a neighbor (for which she was not subsequently charged) and failure to appear in court for disorderly conduct charges (later dropped).

In 2016, she rolled her truck into a ditch and was charged with careless driving and operating an unsafe vehicle.
Boebert failed to appear in court, leading to her spending 100 minutes in jail before being released on bond. She pleaded guilty to the careless driving charge (the unsafe vehicle charge was dropped).
Here are a few of the responses to Boebert’s tweet.
Really? This from the girl with a foot long rap sheet?

This Memorial Day weekend, don’t roll your vehicle into a ditch and run off, or try to stop police from arrested disorderly underage drinkers.https://t.co/RiCvDKXrAz

Ms. Boebert, everything you have “achieved” has been made possible by women like Speaker Pelosi, who will be remembered for her intelligence, bravery, leadership, and service to our country long after you are forgotten, which most of us hope will happen in a matter of months.

What’s up next Boebert? Accusing others of failing their GED multiple times?

SO Boebert’s husband revealed his short comings. What’s the issue?
LMG
Boebert always has the same look on her face – like a pouting shrieking little girl who no one will allow anywhere near a Christmas Tree when they’re busy decorating it.

You can’t claim the moral high ground when you still very much enjoy backstroking your way through the primordial ooze.

Two bit wh_re says what? While giving birth in a pick ‘em up truck.

SHE’S AN IDIOT.

Her handguns are smarter than she is!

I’ll bet she also calls herself a Christian. That’s cannot be true because Jesus said, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”, and she throws a lot of stones which is not very Christian AT ALL !
Jimmynj
Lauren Boebert wouldn’t know the moral high ground. Everything she does is lowbrow, trashy and childish. Where was her husband? In a bowling exposing himself again?

Moron with hate guns is what she is

Miss Thang has NO morals. Like a lot of GQP pols…Hypocrites all !!!
