Boebert Vows 'Even More' Groomer Tweets After Coming 'Only Third' on List
newsweek.comLauren Boebert has vowed to tweet "even more" about "groomers" after a report found that her Twitter account was the third most influential in the U.S.
at spreading "the hateful groomer narrative."The report, jointly produced by the Center for Countering Digital Hate and the Human Rights Campaign, was written as a response to "a growing wave of violence, hate and demonization targeting LGBTQ+ people in the United States." It focuses on "the false and baseless lie that LGBTQ+ people 'groom' children," which the authors said had "driven offline hate crimes."The report listed the top 10 Twitter accounts that have promoted the "groomer narrative," with Boebert, a Colorado Republican, in third place.
Her "top 50 most-viewed hateful tweets" were judged to have reached 7 million people.This put her behind only fellow House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene and writer James Lindsay, who were estimated to have reached 17,954,000 and 11,792,000 people, respectively.Earlier this month Lindsay, who rose to fame by getting hoax papers mocking the social justice movement published in peer-reviewed journals, had his Twitter account permanently suspended.A screenshot of the list was posted by the controversial Libs of TikTok account, which came in fourth with 2,695,000 views.
