Real conservative talk show host Jesse Kelly awarded actual congesswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) the Hottest Woman in Congress award. The award came with a real certificate with Boebert’s name spelled incorrectly and a Red Lobster gift card for $27.43.
The actual Lauren Boebert appeared on Kelly’s real show to discuss how pleased she was to receive this actual award.
I can’t stress enough that this is a real thing that actually happened.
Here’s video proof…
They actually think this is just one big reality show, don’t they?
I…don’t know how to process this story. I feel like a Borg drone looking at an unsolvable invasive program.
They wish they had reality show cred.
This is more like a bad Monday Night Raw promo that ends with someone getting a basket of Cheddar Bay biscuits smashed in their face.
Re: Red Lobster gift card
Boebert: I do think that $27.43 is under the gift limit.
Kelly: We are going to the best we can to up that to $30 next year.
These are real quotes from a real interview between a real congresswoman and a real conservative talk show host.
For real.
We live in the dumbest timeline.
I thought this was going to be an obvious trolling attempt to get her to appear on some joke podcast, but… well, it probably still is that, but neither side knows they’re a joke.
Red Lobster…!?

“Pull up that net ya bastid! Ya pull like my sistah…!”
" Ya sistah has creme for chapped hands…!"
“Just pull… Christ on a Stick, What’s that…?”
“It looks like… it looks like Lauren Boehbert!!!”
“Cut the Net! I don’t want that Sea Witch’s slime on my deck…”
"But Cap…! She’s gotta weight at least 80 lbs. "
“Nobody is gonna eat That! Fer Christ Sake Cut The Net…!”
That reminds me of this Jimmy Kimmel bit where he showed clips of videos that Lauren Boebert put out on social media to unsuspecting passers by and asked them if SNL was being to mean to Lauren Boebert.
Omar should’ve won.
Hmm…
You may accept a gift worth less than $50 ($49.99 or less before tax) from someone who is not a registered federal lobbyist, foreign agent, or entity that employs or retains a registered federal lobbyist or foreign agent, with some caveats.[38] The caveats are
- The cumulative value of gifts you may accept under this exception in a calendar year from a single source must be less than $100 ($99.99 or less before tax);
- A gift worth less than $10 ($9.99 before tax) does not count towards the cumulative limit;
- You may not accept cash or cash equivalents, like gift cards; and
- You may not buy down the gift’s value to get it below $50.
Sorry, not gift cards!
But it’s not a gift. She won it, in a totally legit competition.
I think she’s ok, under this exception:
You may accept a bona fide , non-monetary public service award, as well as any food, refreshments, and entertainment that are also provided in connection with the public service award.
It seems clear that she is providing a public service in being so hot, and that this award recognizes that public service.
Having glanced through those rules, the pressing issue is that there does not seem to be any general exception for awards other than public service awards. If Boebert wins a MacArthur “genius grant” next year, will she have to turn it down?
Wait - is this the same Jesse Kelly that ran unsuccessfully against Gabby Giffords? If so he’s a huge a-hole. He wanted to do away with minimum wage and, I think, Social Security. Among others.
… the universe will collapse upon itself.
Deleted.
Don’t wanna play this time around.
Disgusting.
Now she has a new T-Shirt: “Since we’re redefining everything, This (an AR15) is a cordless hole puncher”

And it’s even being worn by an a-hole!
I saw her 60 Minute piece and she seems to have a sense of humor at least.
