HAHAHAHAHAHA! Lauren Boebert on MSNBC. It's a brief clip of a interview - 1 minute or less in length. Make sure to stay long enough to hear Boebert sigh that Stephanie is "such a failure." :D

RIFLE, Colo. (AP) — Debbie Hartman voted for Lauren Boebert for Congress in 2020 and again in 2022, delighted by Boebert’s unequivocal defense of cultural issues that animate the Republican Party’s far right flank. But as Hartman shopped recently at a supermarket in this Rocky Mountain ranching outpost, she had one piece of advice for the Colorado lawmaker.
“Tone down the nasty rhetoric on occasion and just stick with the point at hand,” said Hartman, 65, a veterinary tech assistant.
That sentiment reflects Boebert’s challenge as she begins her second term in the House. In her relatively short time in Washington, she has built a national profile with a combative style embracing everything from gun ownership to apocalyptic religious rhetoric. Constituents such as Hartman in the Republican-leaning 3rd Congressional District laud Boebert for defending their rights, but cringe at her provocations, contributing to an unexpectedly tight race last year that she won by just 546 votes out of more than 300,000 cast.
“She tapped into what Trump was doing, and she maybe took it too far in some instances,” said Alex Mason, 27, adding that Boebert, whom he supports, is still more tactful than former President Donald Trump.
In an interview, Boebert said “this slim victory, it opened my eyes to another chance to do everything that I’ve been promising to do.”
To the congresswoman, that means being “more focused on delivering the policies I ran on than owning the left,” adding she hoped “to bring the temperature down, to bring unity.”
For much of past week, however, the temperature on Capitol Hill was only rising. Boebert was a leading voice among a group of lawmakers who refused to support Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s bid to become House speaker, a historic revolt against a party leader. McCarthy finally won the gavel...

It was only a few short years ago most of the media along with her caucus and constituents, that Nancy Pelosi was castigated for tearing up the State of the Union speech. Media Harpies were on it for days. SARC SARC SARC
Pearl clutchers will be the ruin of this country.
Uppity
I can’t say that I’ve ever been a fan of dropped holsters like that ...
It’s terrible what “journalism” has become.
Blatantly unethical and unprofessional practices that college or even high school journalism students would be expected to recognize and avoid are nevertheless commonplace today in the MSM.
Much of today’s journalism sounds like the work of immature middle schoolers. Or a totalitarian state, like China today.
REAL HEADLINE - Male AP reporter tells woman to know her place and shut up.
"MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards," Biden said, "backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love."-PJ
"Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election — either they win or they were cheated," Biden said.
Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic."Not even a majority of Republicans are MAGA Republicans," Biden said. "Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I've been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there's no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country."
“MAGA Republicans in Congress have chosen to go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division.”
“We have to be stronger and more determined and more committed to saving American democracy, than the MAGA Republicans and that guy [who are] destroying democracy,” Biden said Monday. “Because democracy is at stake.”
"What are the next things that are going to be attacked? Because this MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in American history -- in recent American history," he said.
"Let me tell you about this Ultra-MAGA Agenda. It’s extreme, as most MAGA things are," he said. "I don’t want to hear Republicans talk about deficits and their Ultra-MAGA Agenda. I want to hear about fairness. I want to hear about decency."
And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election, and they’re working right now as I speak in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.
MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards, backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love. They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fanned the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.
MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live, not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.
To be fair, she won by like 500-something votes (out of over 326,000 cast) in a rural district rated as “safe Republican.” Clearly something needs to be done, because not every election is going to be a “red trickle” like 2022, in a 2018-style election she might get wiped out, which is ridiculous in that district.
Lol, sure they have, A$$ Pravda.
Boebert’s a hero.
Hartman needs to transition and grow a pair.
The gentle Ms Hartman would probably think George Washington was too crude.
Rifle CO is on the conservative side, of the slopes.

What holster?
Wasn't her primary election the reason for the 20 holdouts to demand that the Speaker's PAC no longer fund primaries in safe Republican districts?
Also, the voting dynamics will be different in Presidential elections instead of the mid-terms like 2018 and 2022.
So we'll see how her reelection margin turns out in 2022.

It’s sexy. Bought my wife one a few years ago. Boebert is a cute gal, it looks good on her.
I like my watch dogs to bark, personally.
Zackly bump!
