The fact that Boebert even got elected is a condemnation of the state of America. This is a woman who only passed her GED on the fourth time, who was arrested twice and failed to turn up to court each time, and who accidently poisoned 80 people from her and her husband’s illegal pop-up at a fair due to poor food hygiene. And yet the people of her district said “Yes, this is the person to represent us.” ---

Not to mention the husband who exposed himself to children. And Boebert, who was there with him and who was 17 at the time, was told by the bowling alley where it happened that she was no longer welcome. ---

> [@Red\_Wiggler](#): > > Ronna is claiming that “legitimate political discourse” applied only to the peaceful part of the protest, where Trump and others spoke, and not to the ensuing riot. So Ronna McDaniel’s claim is that there is a “Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens” who attended the speeches but did **not** enter the Capitol building? Can she provide us with a list of such persons, who have either been called before the 1/6 Committee or referred to DOJ or…_anything_ else that could be considered “persecution”…??? ---

I’m pretty sure her list would read as follows. 1. Donald J Trump ETA: Yes, we know that Trump isn’t an ordinary citizen but she would say he was speaking in that capacity, or something else equally stupid. ---

If your rep was Rashida Tlaib or Raphael Warnock or someone like that, you would get a medal, but so much as think about taking a shit anywhere near Andy Biggs’ desk, that is a felony. He may be a treasonous seditionist, but at least he is a Republican. ---

You do have to wonder about Romney family gatherings: has Ronna attended any at which she might run into Mitt? Not that Mitt is a paragon of democracy-defenders, but he does score a tad higher on the ‘won’t worship Donald’ scorecard. ---
