DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is under fire over divisive rhetoric and accusations that she helped incite Wednesday’s violence at the U.S. Capitol.
On Monday, #resignboebert was trending on Twitter.
Boebert has only been in Congress for just more than a week. She started her first term with headlines about her desire to carry a gun in Washington, D.C. Now she’s navigating criticism after objecting to electoral votes that secured the presidential election for Joe Biden.
“Resign Boebert is literally trending on Twitter,” said Democratic State Rep. Bri Buentello. “That’s how much of a public outcry there is.”
Democrats said Boebert’s objection to a legal election— and her rhetoric— are why she should step aside.
“She’s in over her head,” Buentello said. “She doesn’t know what she’s doing.”
Boebert said she will not resign. The congresswoman said she believes she was upholding the Constitution in her electoral objections despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the presidential election. She said the push for a Trump victory should not lead to violence.
“The violence that we did see take place on January 6th was absolutely indefensible,” Boebert said.
The congresswoman wants the rioters charged.
Boebert is under fire for various tweets, including one from Wednesday morning that read, “Today is 1776.” That tweet has been interpreted as a call for a revolution.
“[The 1776 tweet] had nothing to do with violence,” Boebert said. “It certainly did not call for violence.”
Since the attack on the Capitol, the congresswoman has blamed Democrats who, she said, have “normalized violence.” Meanwhile, Colorado Republican Congressman Ken Buck has called on all members of Congress to tone down the rhetoric. Boebert said she agrees with Buck.
“Our country needs healing right now,” she said. “Our country has been in a very divisive place.”
Denver School Board Director Tay Anderson has been one of Boebert’s most active Twitter critics. He’s also calling for her resignation.
“She’s putting herself into an echo chamber of only those who are saying yes to her,” Anderson said.
Boebert said members of her base have been thanking her for her actions over the past week.
“People who are asking me to resign are— with all due respect— not the voters who sent me to Washington, D.C.,” Boebert said.
Boebert responded to an FBI warning issued Monday about threats of armed protests across the country. She is urging people not to attend these events. “Don’t do it,” she said.
She has that seat for life, if she wants it.
Good thing she was elected by People and not Hashtags. What a ridiculous bunch of people these Twitter mobs can be.
Her response should be: EABOD and DIAF
I actually did not agree with what she did. It is conceal carry not broadcast carry. Kind of defeats the purpose.
“Resign Boebert is literally trending on Twitter,” said Democratic State Rep. Bri Buentello.”
Bri lost her election in 2020 by almost 10 points. She was a liar. She ran to fill a republican seat vacated by a Trump appointee. She ran as a local that understood the importance of oil and gas and farming. They gave her an honest chance and of course, immediately, she went full radical environmentalist and voted for massive new drilling restrictions.

Democrats really don’t understand what Democracy is, do they?
The communists now want all the "undisputedly" elected republicans purged from office...
And this is only the beginning!
The saddest part is that their are still feather-brains out there who think the communists will be voted out of Congress in 2022...
IMHO, after the 2022 elections, the House communists will have closer to 400 seats, the way things are headed now...
“despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud”
Say what?
Konopasek the Czech has poop for brains
She’s going to be a force and a torch in the new MAGA revolution. Stand strong conservative woman.
Yeah, he’s not the brightest.
Yeah, good luck on that one.
One must remember, the democrat vote fraud is so massive, there are only about 1/2 as many democrats as democrat votes cast in the election. Just ponder that a moment.
There is no “healing.” All that means is we have to acquiesce to the Left’s demands. Eff that!
“The congresswoman said she believes she was upholding the Constitution in her electoral objections despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the presidential election.”
This is, of course, a straw man argument coming from the gaslight media, because whether “widespread fraud” occurred or not, it wouldn’t have any bearing on whether she thought local fraud had happened to an extent to justify her objection to the certification.
Use of vicious logical fallacies in the news media is one of the tells of gaslighting, as is done here.
I’m pleased that Lauren Boebert is my representative and am happy to have volunteered on her campaign.
