Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) found herself in an ethics flap on Monday as controversy continues to dominate her first month in office.

The progressive political action committee Rural Colorado United posted video of Boebert being gifted a gun.

"Lauren Boebert breaks state and federal laws accepting gifted gun from white supremacist Stephen Moore on video. Illegal to accept gifts over $50 and illegal to gift guns in CO," Rural Colorado United posted to Twitter.

This woman must go.

1. Stop. Rules and ethics only apply to Democrats.

[Backseat Driver]

3. Evidently, SCOTUS won't hear about Dimwit's ethical ROL breaches re emoluments!

[Jay25]

26. Too true.

[SheltieLover]

2. K&R!

[Botany]

4. Bang Bang Barbie .... where do they get these people? Hard to believe that she is high school ....

... drop out.

BTW Guns are not toys.

9. She plans on buying it. No where does it say it

was a gift.

At this point, the premise of the post is wrong.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Yes she said she was going to buy it so she could keep it.

[rzemanfl]

15. She should have declined the gift, not said she would pay for it when she got

caught.

[Irish_Dem]

16. She couldn't help herself, she was drooling all over the gun.

The picture with her and the gun looks like it is real turn on for her.

[rzemanfl]

17. Indeed. n/t

[usajumpedtheshark]

39. Buying it from whom? The 3 percent brain group?

[Irish_Dem]

40. That is what it sounded like, yes.

[rzemanfl]

14. The biker said it was a gift on the video. n/t

[kcr]

21. No, it's not

She shouldn't have accepted it. Claiming she's going to buy it when she got caught doesn't change a thing.

10. the video is depressing

5. Should Congresspeople be held to a higher standard

and not skate on crimes normal people are arrested for?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

6. Is Lauren Boebert the BEST Colorado can come up with? What a whack-job..

Is this woman trying to outdo Sarah Palin in that department?

Strapping a 9mm Glock onto one's thigh while campaigning is proving what?

29. I wouldn't tar all of Colorado with that statement.

Remember that the HOR is made up of all kinds of districts. California sends both Katie Porter AND Devin Nunes to Congress. We send Nancy Pelosi AND Kevin McCarthy. We have Ted Lieu AND Darrel Issa. While California as a state is predominantly Democratic, we have a number of areas that are as Red as Alabama.

The district from which Boebert hails appears to be a crazy red hat district.

[TryLogic]

33. We have a lot of good people (including both senators and Rep. Neguse). She ain't one of them!!

Not sure how she got elected, but she represents the western third of Colorado and down around toward the southeast. If they are going to elect people like her, I suggest avoiding that part of Colorado when you consider vacation spots.

[MontanaMama]

7. So this person gives recon tours of the Capitol,

tweets Madam Speaker's position during the insurrection, blows past metal detectors, accepts illegal gifts and hasn't paid any price for these transgressions? I don't know why we have rules. This is beyond ridiculous.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. Good points all. I'm totally with ya, Mama!

[DBoon]

8. Imagine a Democrat in 1971 accepting a gun from the Weather Underground

They would be out of office so quick your head would spin.

[rockfordfile]

12. That Nazi thinks she's above the law. It was a one of those pos that burned down a courthouse in TN

13. Correct link to story:

36. Thanks for updating the correct link.

I copied and pasted the link as I was reading the comments. I have corrected my original post to reflect the correct link.
Thanks for posting this as I did not catch my error.

44. It took me a minute to figure out why it did that! Some web pages change URL as you scroll.

Newfangled shit!

[aggiesal]

18. Isn't Glock a German pistol? Some patriots they are! n/t

[Straw Man]

27. Austrian. n/t

[aggiesal]

41. Good call, still proves my point. n/t

[Straw Man]

48. Yup.

Glock conquered the American market in the '80s by essentially giving away guns -- via "trade-ins" -- to police departments, which had been using American-made weapons since the 18th century: namely Colt and Smith & Wesson. They now have a factory in Smyrna, Georgia as well as the original facility in Austria.

19. Well you all know my feelings on Boebert. She has brought shame on the people

of Colorado, on the US Congress, and the Republic.

She should be expelled from the House, and facing criminal charges. Those things can't come soon enough.

[Jakes Progress]

20. But. . . but. . .she's a white woman.

[PatSeg]

22. People should start betting

on how long this woman is going to last in congress. Its like she is trying to get in trouble and not "good trouble".

[58Sunliner]

23. Such a classy lady.

- HS dropout
- multiple arrests
- defaulted on loans multiple times
- flipped vehicle/injured another driver driving recklessly
- gave underaged employee a firearm
- seditionist

Pathetic.

34. Even her tattoos suck

I like tattoos and have a couple but hers look like poor quality work.

[SMC22307]

45. Bwahahahaha... a "tramp stamp"! Why am I not surprised.

What is the point of that site? Needy people looking for positive feedback? Folks looking to break into modeling? I don't get it.

[world wide wally]

24. Reality check:

News Flash!
She has no intention whatsoever of following any House rules.

Get a grip folks and 86 her ass

[paleotn]

28. Well?

Please throw her fucking ass in jail!!!!

[Lucinda]

30. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[Nitram]

31. She's not very smart.

[JohnnyRingo]

32. Ironic that she's a "lawmaker".

She seems to nothing at about her trade. How many times can she plead ignorance?

I can guess a lot of male Colorado voters cast a ballot with their dick. I can think of no other excuse for her holding any office. Just so proud of you guys.

[calimary]

35. She's a danger to her colleagues.

She certainly proved that on January 6th. And maybe also on the 5th.

[orangecrush]

37. How has she not been expelled yet?

[Celerity]

38. Three Percenters militia are WHITE NATIONALIST vermin. Bang Bang is thick as thieves with them.

Boebert: “Second Amendment Isn’t About Hunting, Except Hunting Tyrants, Maybe”

https://coloradotimesrecorder.com/2020/12/boebert-second-amendment-isnt-about-hunting-except-hunting-tyrants-maybe/33413/

She has to be expelled from Congress, she is a clear and present danger, as is that POS Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is STILL pushing CRAZY conspiracy theories daily.

46. this woman

has no business in the House, period. They do not adhere to the RULES.


Marjorie Green needs to go too. Do we need these Qanon and right lunatic fringe infiltrating the House or Senate poisoning the well???

[Vivienne235729]

47. They have a video. They need to expel her and prosecute. Or vise versa

I don’t really care in which order. But she needs to be held accountable. She is NOT above the law.
