DENVER (KDVR) — In an interview with FOX31 and Channel 2 on Tuesday, Rep. Lauren Boebert said she does not plan to attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration and said President Donald Trump is one of the greatest commanders in chief in U.S. history.

Boebert — who represents Pueblo County and the Western Slope — said she plans to attend Trump’s farewell instead of the inauguration.

“In order to attend the inauguration, there was a lot I would have to go through, which included leaving my family days earlier,” Boebert said.

Boebert has faced criticism following the violence at the Capitol. On the morning of the mob, she tweeted, “Today is 1776,” which has been interpreted as a call for a revolution. The tweet has since been deleted.

"Since you have declared [Dolt45] to be one of the greatest POTUSs, can you justify that statement by naming thirty that he is superior to?"

Unlike the other crazy Republican freshman (Marjorie Taylor Greene) her district isn’t as right wing....she gets too crazy and she will lose in 2022

for being too far right. I think she will lose in two years if she isn't in jail. Pueblo, CO is a pretty blue area. Grand Junction is the most far right. The rest of the district is sparsely populated but Vail, Durango and Telluride are more blue.

"In order to attend the inauguration, there was a lot I would have to go through...


Yeah. Like facing the stony stares of the people who don't want you around.

...which included leaving my family days earlier,” Boebert said.



Sure, sure. Need to spend more time with your family, so can't go.

She and that other QAnon whute power nazi slag Taylor Greene are clear and present dangers to the lives of multiple Democratic congresswomen and congressmen. They are both crazy enough to try and shoot them, and have openly threatened to do so already in Taylor Greene's case.
