'Farcically stupid' GOPer Boebert brutally dismantled by Democrat for lies about Capitol assault


During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show," Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) didn't mince any words when asked about newly-elected Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), calling her "stupid" and not worth anyone's time.

Speaking with host Jonathan Capehart, Maloney was asked about an accusation leveled at him by Boebert -- that she had to retract -- which opened the door for the blunt-talking Maloney to call out the GOP lawmaker in the thrall of QAnon conspiracies.

"You know, when you said bumper crop of crazy colleagues, it made me think of this back and forth that seems to be happening," Capehart stated. "Let me read it to the audience what your colleague, Congresswoman Boebert said: 'Sean Maloney's comments were extremely dangerous and shameful. there's not an ounce of truth to things he claimed about me.' Having read that, and the comments you just made, even in past interviews, you've never named anyone. Why do you think your colleague from the other side of the aisle is singling you out?"

"Well because she's incompetent," Maloney quickly shot back. "Because she jumped to a conclusion and didn't bother to look at what I said." ..........(more)

I'll tell you what... I would not like to be the person to get Maloney's ire up! He's pretty badass.

Glad he's on our side. He also said that Boebert has gotten off to a disastrous start, what with the gun issue on the House floor and going around the metal detectors recently installed at the House.

during the first impeachment hearings? I'll never forget it, because it was glorious, so well done, and so well deserved. Don't mess with this man. He does not suffer fools.

I do know brighter people from that area, but I fear that they wouldn’t have a chance in Hell of getting elected in that congressional district.

My apologies.

Altamonte Springs, which is near Orlando, according to her Wikipedia article.

Boebert was born in Altamonte Springs, Florida on December 15, 1986.[4][5] When she was 12, she and her family moved to the Montbello neighborhood of Denver and later to Aurora, Colorado, before settling in Rifle, Colorado in 2003.

As a Floridian, I find her very embarrassing.
