Once Again, Lauren Boebert, YOU VOTED AGAINST THAT

SATURDAY UPDATE: The Durango Herald’s Skye Witley:

A e-newsletter dispersed by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s office environment this 7 days touts “nine Boebert wins for Colorado,” but all 9 merchandise ended up included in a bill that the agent voted from earlier this month.

Boebert celebrated investments worthy of about $2.3 billion and actions these types of as blocking the use of federal income to pay out for abortions, but several of the determined sums are dispersed to localities on an once-a-year foundation or reward nationwide systems and initiatives…

The $1.4 trillion omnibus investing bill that contains the “nine Boebert wins” was signed into regulation by President Joe Biden on March 15. Boebert voted versus it six times before. The spokesperson mentioned that the omnibus monthly bill, which wraps budget measures alongside one another with coverage improvements, contained “more bad than good” for Republicans, so Boebert voted against it. [Pols emphasis]

See that previous aspect? It’s the only portion that matters.

This is a degree of dishonesty so audacious you would scarcely feel it’s possible right up until someone is dumb more than enough to try it–which then of program they do. John Kerry aided speak himself out of the presidency in 2004 when he infamously claimed “I basically did vote for [Iraq war funds] before I voted against” them, and below we have Lauren Boebert virtually repeating John Kerry verbatim.

If that doesn’t make even her most deep-fried supporters flinch, it is difficult to visualize what can.

Here’s freshman GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s hottest formal letterhead email to constituents this week, celebrating “nine Boebert wins for Colorado signed into regulation.”

But if you have even casually adopted Rep. Lauren Boebert’s voting document in Congress, and we’ve pointed out right before, on several events, and the Colorado Solar experiences yet again today in the Unaffiliated publication, there is a basic trouble with determining any of these budgetary line-things for Western Colorado in the the latest omnibus paying bill as “Boebert wins for Colorado.”

Boebert voted against the omnibus appropriations monthly bill that provided all of people actions. [Pols emphasis]

Boebert’s publication connected to a letter to her from ranking Rep. Kay Granger of Texas, the ranking Republican on the U.S. House Appropriation Committee, that contained a listing of Boebert’s finances priorities…

Boebert’s checklist of nine products of budget priorities gain her constituents, but some of them are national shelling out initiatives that are simply just broad dependent, like the $1.8 billion allocation for local community health and fitness facilities in rural counties.

It is getting to be an increasingly prevalent exercise for Republicans to get credit history with their constituents for funding priorities they opposed at each individual action of the procedure, and in Boebert’s case it is about as brazen a lie as could potentially be informed. First, Boebert refused to get element in the course of action of even requesting funding for particular assignments. Then she voted in opposition to the legislation that includes all those local funding priorities. Now she desires credit for the points she voted towards on the ridiculous premise that due to the fact they are however in the invoice, Republican negotiators on the Appropriations Committee (Boebert is not) should have fought for them some way.

The Solar studies that Colorado’s other two Republican users of Congress have not joined Boebert this time in taking credit for legislation opposed at just about every stage and then voted in opposition to. The knock on Boebert has normally been that she was much more fascinated in individual fame and fortune than representing her constituents. Instead than serving as a defense, Boebert is contacting a lot more awareness to her failures by lying so openly that a 5-12 months-aged can understand the issue.

All we can say is, Boebert will have to be awfully confident that none of these serious-world difficulties will subject.
