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.”

The clown has been using it as a weapon to shake at people. Not something to assist him with walking.

On Gutfeld last week, Tom Shillue joked that anyone who waves a cane in the air over their head doesn't need a cane to walk.

It's a fashion accessory. It's a power symbol.

America’s Voice is conservative, NOT “right wing.”

Do the yahoos at Yahoo call CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, etc.
Left-wing?

"Hey, Al, wanna trade canes?"

Rep. Al Green....... Is what happens when you perform your ego-tripping monkeyshines during the State of the Union Address.

Uh-oh! Are you sure you aren't a ray-cist?!

"It was a weapon."

Southern Democrat Representative Preston Books caned Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner in the Senate Chamber on May 22, 1856, causing severe head injuries that he suffered from the rest of his life. Sumner was 45 at the time. Brooks was 37. Brooks resigned two months later, but because RATS are evil, they re-elected him the next month. He lived less than 6 months into his new term. Sumner lived until 1874.

And the suckers bought it! Idiots. And the “hooker” who always was with him was a preacher’s daughter. Still... they bought it.

It's interesting that everyone in Congress came to work armed for a long time after that incident.
