Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was slammed on social media and accused of hypocrisy over the way she criticized Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) for heckling and pointing his cane toward Donald Trump during the president’s speech to a joint session of Congress last week.
Boebert, during an interview on the right-wing Real America’s Voice, first sought to memory-hole her own interruptions of then-President Joe Biden’s speech to Congress in 2022.
She said: “You had some folks on the left trying to come out early and defend this behavior and compare it to an image of Marjorie Taylor Greene and myself, who were chanting ‘Build the wall’ while all other Republicans were chanting the same phrase and they just got that one image and acted like we completely disrupted the State of the Union."
“But Al Green was given multiple opportunities to stand down, to sit down, to behave, to show decorum. And he did not,” she continued.
Boebert then said: “For him to go and shake his pimp cane at President Trump was absolutely abhorrent.”

LOL
backlash...among all 14 percent that give a dam :)
Many of us wondered if there was a hidden trigger on the cane.....
Green’s getting away with it easy being tagged a pimp.
Sure electing a lot of stupid in Texas. I thought Texas was red? I'd say y'all are well on your way to purple.
Hard as he tries, Al Green will never be Huggy Bear
It’s a flask cane for infirm alcoholics. Pelosi uses one too.
Is that Democrat Preston Brooks’ original cane reassembled after he broke it beating Republican
Charles Sumner,
Al Green has been shaking that cane at all the speeches the Democrats have been having while they’ve been calling for street violence and everyone knows what he’s implying by doing it.
He’s a thug.
I did a Startpage search for Pimp Cane and received a FULL page of pimp cane images.
Just tried to refresh link, to post here, and page was already populated with Lauren Boebert articles.

I heard that interview. Cracked up when she said he had a pimp cane.
They really do exist. Out of curiosity, I searched the term.

Could be worse, Democrats.
She could have called it a “Chimp Cane”.
