In that context, she wasn't wrong to look for a connection.

There is no connection between the two questions. Boebert simply didn't know what she was talking about.

The 19th Amendment deals with voting rights. It has nothing to do with women's healthcare.

Boebert is an idiot.

I recognize your broader point but that's hardly what the moderator was asking Boebert.

Using this logic, one could argue that a woman's right to vote affects her ability to get a driver's license. The issues are really pretty far apart.

Overturning Roe has inspired many women and younger people to register to vote this fall. Hopefully, all of them show up at the polls to kick out the MAGA Republicans.

The 19th Amendment has nothing to do with abortion rights. It's about voting rights.

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

How in the world is this related to a woman's healthcare?

Boebert is a living and walking example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

How damn dumb or hateful do you have to be to look at your choices at the ballot box and say, "I'm voting for Lauren Boebert"?

Hey Georgia, do you REALLY think Hershel Walker is Senator material or is this just a big Eff you to America?
