Rep. Lauren Boebert is demanding President Biden’s Department of Justice provide the data behind its recent claim of “an increase” in “threats of violence” against local school officials, a charge the DOJ is using to justify mobilizing the FBI.
Boebert wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland that she wants a copy of current data and “all data from previous years that can corroborate” Garland’s increased threats claim.
“I am alarmed by your decision to weaponize the Department of Justice against concerned parents, exercising their First Amendment rights, who dare to oppose the teaching of critical race theory, a repulsive and racist ideology.”
Garland announced he was directing the FBI to meet with state and local officials because “in recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff who participate in the vital work of running our nation’s public schools.”
The attorney general observed that such behavior is illegal, to which Boebert contended the criminal activity Garland is referring to is in reality parents “expressing their frustrations about mask mandates and critical race theory which conveniently run counter to this regime’s agenda.”
The congresswoman also requested a copy of Garland’s recusal list, signed ethics pledge, and any other documentation the attorney general provided when he took office to communicate conflicts of interest he could encounter while in his position.
That portion of Boebert’s request comes after a report on Wednesday charged that Garland’s son-in-law, Xan Tanner, is cofounder of Panorama Education, a company that “promotes the tenets of Critical Race Theory.”
Boebert noted the family connection means Garland “is potentially benefiting” from his “new propaganda operation.”
She continued, “You should have recused yourself from this matter given the clear conflict of interest.”

The Colorado Republican said in a statement, “The United States Attorney General is weaponizing the DOJ to attack American parents who disagree with Critical Race Theory. Surprise surprise, his son-in-law is in the business of spreading CRT. This is wrong. This is corrupt. I’m demanding answers.”
Boebert asked that Garland meet her requests by November 1, 2021.
DOJ protecting race predators
Keep your kids safe from predators.
I am proud to have Lauren Boebert as my representative in Congress.
All I have representing me is a drunk, the very unlovely and un accomplished Ann Kirkpatrick
She must be a Democrat. Or a big time RINO.
Garland’s middle finger is all the data we will see.
Why are the new GOP women reps the only ones with balls?
We’re now living in a Fascist Police State.
Better than having to be represented by Spanberger (D-CIA)
GOP back benchers are starting to fight back.
Besides Boebert...
A female GOP Congress person from New Mexico is demanding a formal investigation into a sexual assault on a USA military female by evacuated Afghan males housed on a military base.
A Congressman from Colorado is fighting the medical decision (by Health & Human Services?) to deny a kidney transplant to an un-vaccinated woman, even though the kidney is being DONATED by one of her friends.
Why is she giving him until Nov 21?
She packs the heat... She should show up at his office and scare the piss out of him...
As of now, she is ours too.
Why haven’t you replaced Spanberger like you tell us over and over is all we need to do?
Trying to, the last election a memory stick was “found” that had just enough votes to put her over the top.
So it’s a little harder than posting the same stuff over and over then.
Data we don't need no stinking data!
iNTERESTING QUESTION.
