"Constitutional Ignorance" and Religious Bigotry Don't Mix, Congresswoman Boebert

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/12/religious-bigotry-in-congress-is.html

Members of Congress should be expected to know at least as much as any American eighth grader does about the constitution. But Congresswoman Boebert's deplorable comments criticizing the religious beliefs of Muslims in Congress, particularly Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, demonstrate ignorance about the first amendment and about her role as a member of Congress.

More than having her committee assignments removed, rendering her even more inept and ineffective than she has been up to this point, her tirade is a demonstration of her contempt for the office she holds and the Constitution which governs it. She should resign and go back home.

...and even tweeted out information about the location of the Speaker of the House, whom the terrorists were seeking to kill or capture?

Oh, wait. Never mind. That was Boebert.

except I hear that the reconfiguration of Colorado's districts puts a bigger chunk of Democrats in her district.
