NEW: In a text to me just now,
@laurenboebert
denied this allegation made on CNN by
@RepCohen
that she led a tour before the Capitol attack.
I did not give any tours between Jan 3rd and 6th, Boebert says.

(3,403 posts)What a wacko this lady is...
Her husband exposed himself to teenagers, then on 2004 she scratch his face and did something else to him, but then the year after she married him??? And she has a list of encounters with the law.
There has to be a law where no person who has been convicted can run for office, it doesn't make sense to have people who have been imprisoned (Mat Gaetz is one of them) should run for office. I do believe in 2nd chances, but not in official positions.

(2,698 posts)but not prevent black men who have been incarcerated at despicable rates, some guilty of petty crimes (as was Boebert and Gaetz) others innocent but railroaded, I might consider it
But the simple fact is if you cut off a persons eligibility for office solely on the basis of a felony conviction, you open the door wide to trumped-up (pun intended) political arrests and convictions of Liberals, Progressives, and anti-fascists.
Best way to keep these dingbats away from seats of power is to empower the people -- through education and a guaranteed right to vote -- to fire them the next election.

What did she show them?
Did she describe where to find certain people?
Why did she tweet The Speaker had been moved?

(269,182 posts)who was/were the insider (s) that allowed her to conduct this tour.
Further how does someone who was sworn in a few days before the attempted coup and slaughter violate the rules and not suffer the consequences?
Lock her the fuck up!

(10,085 posts)Boebert is just crazy enough to take her gun with her and try to kill Biden, Harris, and Pelosi. Shes the infiltrator I worry about, along with Marjorie Taylor Green, the other off-the-charts crazy.

There is no reason for him to lie about this, but there are lots of reason why he should be truthful.

(6,699 posts)... we're on that tour of hers, she needs to be held directly responsible, and the most severe consequences need to follow.

(1,142 posts)I also hope that what these people saw was not a tweet with a picture claiming it was her giving a tour when in reality the photo
is from a gun rally in December at the Colorado capitol steps.
At any rate, I have been on tours of the Capitol and from my recollection, we had to show ID, register and surrender items like our butane lighters etc... at some points and show security our empty pockets as well as walk through metal detectors etc...
So it would seem one way or another there would be evidence of this that can prove or disprove this story

PatSeg
(47,609 posts)alarmingly incriminating. You don't have to read between the lines. I think her intent is very clear, much like Trump's in his speech.

(25,902 posts)Given that the only video that has surfaced has been what individuals have taken, I'm beginning to think there are no cameras and no video anywhere in the Capitol building. Which is absurd.
Lets hope cameras get installed soon.

(14,858 posts)... from what I've read.
The government investigators just don't seem as eager to share it with the media yet, unlike the excited smartphone users and others who were there.
No verification for this YET...
