Lauren Boebert said she was thanked by the mother of a 'lieutenant corporal,' which isn't a thing

There’s not a colonel of truth to that title.

Outspoken Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert claims that a few parents of U.S. soldiers killed in Afghanistan reached out to support her after she interrupted President Biden’s nationally televised State of the Union Address earlier this month. One of them, she claimed, was the mother of a “lieutenant corporal.”

Rep. Lauren Boebert has a lot to learn about military ranks. (Pool/)

As critics including retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman pointed out on Twitter, there’s no such thing as a lieutenant corporal in the U.S. military.

She's a high school dropout who met her husband in a bowling alley when he flashed his dick at her.

At the bottom of this story, there’s a real dead guy, by the way.

The mother of a Norco Marine killed in Afghanistan has blasted President Joe Biden on social media, saying the president rolled his eyes when meeting with families of slain service members and that her son’s blood is on his hands.

Shana Chappell’s post about Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui caught the attention of former President Donald Trump.

And shame on her for doing that. But I don't believe for a nanosecond that Joe Biden rolled his eyes at her or anyone else there. Nu-uh. No way. More projection.
