Stop with the calling Boebert a Firebrand!

ABC News, Washington Press, Salon, Yahoo! News, Fox News, and MSNBC are just a few of the news organizations that call Boebert a "Firebrand!"
Even when the articles are telling about accusations, there is an odd ring of delight in just about all of the news media, even news media that appears on the surface to be more perceptive than reactive.

While the words to describe her that I would choose would probably get this post tossed on the "We can't really say that," heap, the use of the title "Firebrand!" tends to show that the owners and editors of these publications are fans of her. Sadly a lot of these people are above our petty fears about world destruction, and the end of democracy. They are seeing this through the eyes of greed or the eyes of a wrestling fan watching a bad guy they love to hate.

I am not sure what they should use instead of Firebrand! Some people might say that she was a known poisoner and law breaker. In any case Firebrand, a noun meaning, a person who is passionate about a cause and inciting change, is the wrong title for this horrible excuse for a person. That may be it. Till I hear better, I will use, "Boebert, Horrible excuse for a person!"

I am thinking about using something about bloody diarrhea and pork sliders but the exact phrase is escaping me.

His votes are a matter of public record and that is about the only way you can interpret his votes.
