Just as the former FLOTUS. Her past was not past. It was all over the internet.

What makes this HYPOCRISY so special is that Boobert projects too much. She throws stones while living in a glass house.

Unless there is actual evidence to back up these accusations, she'll use it to slam ALL liberal groups.

Everyone knows she has a past. I think she was a "dancer wanna be model" or something....

This doesn't mean she's a prostitute, it just means she's not squeaky clean..
They really don't care up there. It's Colorado. They care more about guns.

They liked the fact the she wiggles her hips and carries a gun. They know what she's like up there and they really don't care.

any reference to her personal medical history. Her medical history isn't any more business of ours than our medical histories are her business.

Focusing on an accusation that she is a hypocrite regarding abortion is unwise for two reasons: first, it implies that her anti-choice position would be more legitimate if she had walked the walk (when in fact being anti-choice is just as immoral from any politician who has never had an abortion), and second it plays into their Jeebus babble of everyone being flawed and imperfect and needing sky-daddy's forgiveness and guidance like she (conveniently) will claim to have gotten in the time between then and now.

An afterthought: After Trump, crass behavior may be part of their CV by this point.

Free to do what they want in their own bedrooms and bodies, while telling the rest of us to "go to church!" and dictating our lives.

They do say that she "apparently" had two abortions. The source could be literally anyone - it may be the person who gave her a ride to the clinic, or a relative, or an ex, or some rando she told after she had a few too many in a bar, or anyone else.

Or it may be completely false. There's zero evidence given to support this claim, so it would be foolish to believe it at this time.

with her photos so they seem to know a lot about her. It's probably her sister-in-law who was hurt in the accident as he was asking her about the alleged abortions when talking to her about the accident and they were cut off.

The way they are trying to ban abortion rights and their attacks on lgbtq people.

It's just stupid to say we shouldn't bring this up. Unless she is pro choice and supports lgbtq and not doing those above things.

41. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert had to be separated during argument, report says
Wed Jun 15, 2022, 05:20 AM
Jun 2022

Fellow GOP right-wing firebrand Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado had to be separated during an argument earlier this year, according to a report.

While they may be seen by some as two sides of the same MAGA coin among fierce Republican supporters of former President Donald Trump, Politico reported that, in private, Republicans say that Ms Boebert despises being connected to Ms Greene.

The outlet also noted that Ms Boebert is considered to be more of a team player in the party, while both of them are disdained by Democrats for their aggressive rhetoric.

https://news.yahoo.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-lauren-boebert-155723473.html

from the end of April this year.

This reminds me of a tweet I saw on Reddit about a week ago That said Nancy Pelosi had talked to Governor Newsom and got him to drop all the DUI and whatever charges against Paul Pelosi. I heard that one went viral and I think it was a crock of shit somebody just made it up.

I detest Boebert As much as anybody else. But I don’t see any good evidence for this. It’s just like the thing about Nancy Pelosi and Newsom, some fool just made this up and put it out on the Internet.

At this point, I consider it fake news.
