Rep. Lauren Boebert Ridiculed For Hot Take On Ukraine And Guns

Source:Huff Post

Twitter users taunted the extremist Colorado Republican over her “profound gem” of a post.

Extremist Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was roundly mocked on Monday for the ridiculous stretch she made while trying to spin Russia’s invasion of Ukraine into an attack on gun control.

“Remember. Ukraine gave up their nukes in exchange for promises of security,” the conspiracy theorist tweeted, referencing the country’s nuclear disarmament following the end of the Cold War.

“We see how that turned out,” the Donald Trump-adoring gun-lover added. “This is why we must NEVER give up our guns to any government.”

Critics thought Boebert’s comparison of firearms to nuclear weapons was just too much:

The Twitter responses were accurate in attacking the Rep. from Colorado who apparently lacks Intellectual Curiosity. Guns are NOT equal to Nuclear weapons.

If they had nukes in reserve in their basements, the invading Ruskies would'a hightailed out'a ther--- in fact they wouldn't'a tried to invade in the first place.

They kicked Russian asses anyway. But it would'a been quicker if the lib'tards hadn't outlawed peaceful patriots to have nukes.

She did get a GED, ( so she says), but come on folks, just about anyone who’s breathing can get a GED if you try three times

Bottom line, and this is not to be mean, it’s just fact. She is stupid.

Don’t go there they say. Look a lot of people who made mistakes or had situations that prevented them from finishing high school go back and get GED’s. Good for them. She claims that once she gave birth McDonalds (McDonalds corporation mind you), offered her a job that made her choose between a job and staying in high school. Mmm hmm.

During high school age at the bowling Alley, shopping for Penis demonstrations and looking for gun fights. She was too damn lazy to study just a little to pass the GED until 3rd attempt. And that one was questionable. That kind of lazy irresponsible idiot, has no place sitting in congress representing a large swath of the population. Howler Monkeys are embarrassed at her stupidity.
Let’s not forget, trump, his sons and Gaetz have college degrees. So many deserving GED grads are light years smarter than any of em. She gives GED a sick rep. Not the fraught of GED. And media is stupid, giving her a second of attention. They are feeding the junkie.

... is as hollow as most of the deals between East and West from that time. US officials expressly used the term assurances instead of guarantees, as the latter implied a deeper, legally-binding commitment, which the United States were not willing to give to Ukraine.

this has been a major falsehood that's been perpetuated by the rumor mill.

at the fall of the soviet union, all nukes were removed by old soviet forces. Ukraine had nothing to give up.

this is the equivalent of US having nukes in say, Poland. they are not Poland's property. they would always be ours.

so the argument that Ukraine gave them up really has zero meaning at all.
