.MaddowBlog: Lauren Boebert sent a fundraising appeal the day after heckling President Biden during the State of the Union address. It really wasn’t that long ago when such behavior would have been condemned and formally rebuked by GOP lawmakers.
It was toward the end of his State of the Union address when President Joe Biden reflected on the dangers U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have faced. The Democrat specifically expressed concern about American troops’ proximity to burn pits, and the ongoing health risks those pits may have created, before referencing the death of his own son, who served in Iraq.
It was right around this time when Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado thought it’d be a good idea toNo one seriously expected the far-right congresswoman to apologize, and she didn’t. The conservative Washington TimesRep. Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican who loudly heckled President Biden during his state of the union speech Tuesday, said she has no regrets about shouting in the House chamber to bring attention to the 13 U.S. soldiers killed in Afghanistan last summer.
Appearing on a conservative radio program yesterday, the GOP congresswoman said “a lot of people” thanked her for Tuesday night’s outburst. Boebert also referenced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping up a copy of Donald Trump’s State of the Union address two years ago, as if the two incidents are comparable.“an apparent fundraising email to supporters” the day after the incident.
If recent history is any guide, the appeal was likely quite lucrative, which is emblematic of the larger problem.
