Lauren Boebert condemned for response to Colorado Springs shooting

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A conservative Colorado congresswoman faced blowback for her statement of concern in response to the shooting at a gay nightclub in the state when Twitter users accused her of trafficking in the same hate that has been blamed for the attack.

Lauren Boebert tweeted after a shooting overnight at Club Q in Colorado Springs that “the news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful. This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers.

She added, “[t]his lawless violence needs to end and end quickly”.

But her remarks fell on deaf ears; Twitter users quickly noted that Ms Boebert was deeply entrenched in the resurgence of right-wing hate against the LGBT community. The freshman congresswoman, who holds a thin lead in a reelection bid headed for a recount, has more than once tweeted approvingly about the right-wing hate account LibsOfTikTok, which shines a spotlight on private citizens and businesses that are seen as members of or allied with the gay community; teachers and drag performers who interact with children are among the owner’s favorite targets. Those targeted by the account are subjected to relentless abuse from thousands of followers; in one recent high-profile case, the Boston Children’s Hospital received bomb threats after it was maligned by the account.

If they keep reelecting her?

[SoCalDavidS]

2. 100% nt

[joshcryer]

12. 47% of eligible voters turned out.

No one is truly elected in our midterms or representative of the majority.

[Cha]

18. she won by only 500 something

votes.. of course it the Hell Matters for the election in 2024.

I've read that Adam Frisch has already filed to run in 2024.. I hope so!!

[Polybius]

24. Keep?

They only reelected her once, by just over 500 votes.

[montanacowboy]

3. You get what you vote for

too bad, you are stuck with her

[COL Mustard]

14. Unfortunately so are the rest of us

Stuck with her, Empty Greene, Gym Jordan and all the others.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. and this idiots plan is for more violence, it will just be termed "lawful violence"...

of some other newspeak.

[Blue Owl]

5. Hey Bimbobert -- how about putting 2 and 2 together?

Your party stokes the fires of hatred and intolerance that make these kind of crimes happen

[FoxNewsSucks]

9. That, plus their unwavering support for guns everywhere

[Ilsa]

22. No one talking on tv seems to tie that with the increase in violent crime.

[Takket]

6. ah. great. twitter users condemned her

fantastic.

well the people who's opinion actually matters as to her fate just sent her back to washington for another two years.

but sure. ask some rando on twitter how they feel.

[Elessar Zappa]

7. She won by the skin of her teeth in a very red district.

She should be nervous about 2024.

[Aviation Pro]

8. Which only means that Frisch was the first loser

No statement was made as this fucking oxygen thief was sent back to Washington by her people.

[FoxNewsSucks]

10. She should be, but she won't.

I guarantee she will declare her invincibility and will act even worse.

[Cha]

21. kinda what I posted upthread..

keep it up, Assholeboefart.

I've read on here that Adam Frisch has already filed to run in 2024. I hope so!

[Evolve Dammit]

11. She doesn't care a bit how many die. Not a whit.

[Justice matters.]

13. The hypocrisy is tantamount in this one.

But not just in this one...

[czarjak]

16. She'd have to know some words first.

[Ford_Prefect]

15. Once again with the "thoughts and prayers" BS.

The RW isn't insincere. It is racist and Homophobic in plain sight...and more Guns are the answer to every massacre.

As in give "our people" more guns to attack those "other people" so they will be safe from being groomed and recruited.

[ancianita]

17. Another reason liberals need to use Twitter, to shoot down her bullshit and bad LGBTQ record.

Good thing liberals have not left Twitter, but stay and fight so that her tweets don't get as much corporate media attention.

[rubbersole]

19. Lauren, STFU.

You probably smiled at the news. Despicable low-class trash.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. Wonder if there is a new leader fir that party of death.

One who will bring back common sense laws and empathy. You know, follow the Golden Rule.

Maybe not elected yet. But a person who could upend the mania in that party....

[live love laugh]

23. Says the tour guide for Jan 6 lawless violence.
