Rep. Boebert (R-CO) tweeted at 11:18am that Pelosi had been moved from the House Chambers

Why did she tweet that?

Was she trying, as some suggest, to comfort everyone that Pelosi was safe?

Was she trying, as some suggest, to tell the Invaders to look elsewhere, not waste time trying to enter the House chambers?

Or, was she herself still in that location, and trying to protect herself?

Her preceeding tweet was from just one minute earlier, 11:17am, saying they "were" locked in the chambers. Did she mean "were" as in before, or as in, "were locked in by (eg, security)"?

If she was, at 11:18am, still locked in the House chambers, then my assumption is that her tweet was purely self-serving: she was scared shitless and didn't want the hoards entering the room, especially because their prime target was not there anyway.

I don't begrudge anyone's self-preservation, but I gotta say, she strikes me as someone you wouldn't want to share a foxhole with. She'd be the person who would trip you as you were both running from zombies.
