Does AOC know something about Boebert seeking a pardon?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC)

Hey quick question Boebert, did you ask for a pardon after tweeting the Speaker’s location on Jan 6th? You and the KKK Caucus have been really quiet about it today and given how much y’all have to say I’m not sure why no one’s responding to this simple question.

Maybe your friend @RepMTG can answer! Did either of you seek a pardon? Just trying to clear some things up.

because of the George Orwell book! Turned out to be nothing much. Except Reagan got re-elected. That was kind of a bummer. What else was it about 1984 that was so dreadful? We hosted the Summer Olympics in L.A. that year. I covered some of it because I was still working back then. *

Her birth date is December 19, 1986.

(*Edited -I was doing the math in the wrong direction!)

Actually it is a pretty good tweet, I have to admit.

Literate, witty, with reference to iconic work of modern literature.

Yes of course it is pure projection. The GOP is going to deliver to the US a most dismal dystopian future.

She was two years from being born in 1984.

1984 was a decent year for me...I rode a motorcycle from Tennessee to Idaho and spent the last six months of it in Korea.

2. The big words describing it are way beyond her skills.

Lil Gunny meant the Orwell novel, but for real world US Rethugs, 1984 was all Reaganite 'Morning in 'Murica' posturing (that was, unfortunately, extraordinarily effective)

I'll guarantee you Boebert didn't write this nasty "burn" reply to AOC. Someone else wrote it for her, and it's somebody much smarter. Boebert flunked her GED 3 times (so I've heard) and I doubt she can even spell "dystopian," let alone tell you what the word means.

Need to find video of Boebert walking so we can compare. She'd be dumb enough to be talked in to doing something as stupid. Now I wonder if the ones seeking pardons had anything to do with the pipe bombs. That investigation seems to have gone dark.
