Guaranteed to trigger libs. No pun intended. In viral ad, new member of Congress appears to walk Capitol Hill streets with a Glock https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...9f70f8-4e9d-11eb-83e3-322644d82356_story.html
Let's take a closer look at nutcase Lauren Boebert who wants to wander around Washington with her Glock and refuses to obey COVID rules. Republican CD-3 candidate Lauren Boebert’s husband arrested in ’04 for indecent exposure to a minor https://annelandmanblog.com/2020/10...husband-arrested-in-04-for-indecent-exposure/ A Garfield County Sheriff’s Office arrest report (pdf) has surfaced showing Lauren Boebert’s husband, Jayson, was arrested on January 28, 2004 for exposing his penis to young women at the Rifle Fireside Lanes Bowling Alley. One of the victims was a minor who was 16 years old. Lauren married Jayson in 2005, one and a half years after the indecent exposure incident. According to the arrest affidavit (pdf), at about 7:00 p.m. that evening, the young women were standing at the snack bar discussing their tattoos when Jayson, standing several feet away, overheard the conversation and informed them that he had a tattoo on his genitals. The women turned their backs towards Jayson to ignore him, but Jayson then came up behind them, unzipped his pants, pulled his penis out and displayed the shaft to them with his thumb covering the head. The women complained to the bowling alley owner, who asked Jayson several times to leave the establishment. Jayson refused and became belligerent, leading the owner to call law enforcement. According to the arrest report, the officer detected the smell of alcohol on Jayson, and Jayson admitted he had been drinking. Two females described the incident to Garfield County Sheriff officers and signed witness statements leading to Jayson’s arrest. Jayson told the officers that he had “displayed his thumb pretending it was his genitals in a gesture of fun,” according to the report, but one of the victims wrote in her statement, “I know that wasn’t his thumb, because thumbs aren’t 6 inches long.” Another arrest, days later Jayson Boebert was arrested again just days after this incident, in February, 2004, on a domestic violence charge. A protection order was issued for the victim of the incident. Jayson eventually pled guilty. Jayson’s now-wife Lauren, currently the Republican Party candidate for House Representative in the 3rd Congressional District, was present during the bowling alley incident and was listed in the report as a victim under her maiden name, Lauren Opal Roberts, but only the two other female victims gave a statement to the officers. Lauren and two other men in the party besides Jayson were told to leave the bowling alley and not to return to the establishment any more. Jayson was employed as a roughneck for Nabors Drilling at the time of his arrest. Lauren Boebert has had numerous brushes with the law herself (pdf) for petty offenses including disorderly conduct, fleeing law enforcement, speeding and careless driving, driving with expired plates, failures to appear in court, and other offenses.
Apparently she did not felony convictions that kept her from passing a gun background check, although the backstory on her husband probably matters somewhere.
"Lauren Boebert: YES, YES, I'm carrying my gun through the streets of DC. I'm carrying. Yes. OH GOD. Just like that. I'm CARRYING. Boebert's staff: She's faking it." Newly-Elected GOP Congresswoman Faked Carrying ‘My Glock to Congress’ in Viral Campaign Video https://www.mediaite.com/online/new...my-glock-to-congress-in-viral-campaign-video/
Heh, you guys are missing Trump already. He always had a cast of characters around him, so you lefties are casting about now trying to find a new set of characters to obsess over.
On some days, the idea of Congressmen/women wanting to have the right to bear arms is not as ridiculous as some try to make it out to be, eh?
Yes.... the idiot Boebert is back in the news... GOP’s Lauren Boebert caught up in new ethics scandal after review of her mileage expenses https://www.rawstory.com/lauren-boebert-2650268056/ Ethics experts are asking questions about the more than $22,000 in mileage reimbursements Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) paid herself from her campaign last year, The Denver Post reports. The Colorado GOP lawmaker wrote two checks totaling $22,259 from her campaign accounts for mileage between January and mid-November. "To justify those reimbursements, Boebert would have had to drive 38,712 miles while campaigning, despite having no publicly advertised campaign events in March, April or July, and only one in May," the Denver Post reports. "Furthermore, because the reimbursements came in two payments — a modest $1,060 at the end of March and $21,200 on Nov. 11 — Boebert would have had to drive 36,870 miles in just over seven months between April 1 and Nov. 11 to justify the second payment." Former investigator for the Office of Congressional Ethics, Kedric Payne, told the Post that the "highly unusual" amount of mileage raises red flags that Boebert's campaign should provide answers for. So far, she has declined to provide evidence that she drove 39,000 miles last year. In a statement, her campaign said that the grassroots nature of her campaign required her to travel often. "She traveled to every nook and cranny of the district to speak with and hear from the people about their concerns. They say showing up is 90% of the battle and Lauren always showed up. Her aggressive travel schedule is a big reason she won," the statement said. Analyzing all 80 events Boebert hosted by looking at the Events tab on her Facebook page -- along with the use of global positioning software to calculate the distance driven to, from and between them -- the Post determined that she drove 17,623 miles between public events last year. But Boebert's campaign responded that the Post's analysis didn't include every "meeting, fundraiser or campaign event."
GWB, do you spend all day every day pulling articles off the internet and posting them? You seem to have ones to spam for any topic, no matter how archaic.
