Lauren Boebert just won ‘dumbest politician of the of week’ and it’s only Monday
Rep. Lauren Boebert pivoted right into a pile of dirt while sharing her geopolitical expertise with Fox News on Sunday at CPAC.After telling the network that she’s praying for Ukraine, the Colorado Republican took a sharp left, saying Canada needs to be “liberated.” Yes, really.“I pray for Ukraine, and I wish them the best,” she said. “They have a great president right now… but we also have neighbors to the north who need freedom and who need to be liberated and we need that right here at home.”Lauren Boebert told Fox Nation at CPAC that Canada needs to be "liberated" along with Ukraine."We also have neighbors to the north who need freedom." pic.twitter.com/dymrCTRcxp— David Edwards (@DavidEdwards) February 27, 2022Boebert was likely referring to the so-called “freedom convoy” of anti-vaccine truck drivers, but her comparison to Russia’s violent invasion of Ukraine doesn’t quite hold up.Related: Lauren Boebert’s gay rival just put out a shocking campaign ad… and wow!Her comments sparked immediate criticism from Canadian citizens and officials, and we’d be remiss not to start with this one:Lauren Boebert is an idiot.
I am an openly gay man living in the suburbs in Canada with my husband. We went and got fancy bagels to go today and stopped for Starbucks on our way home.
Liberate Canada? Girl. We are fine. Fuck off.— ? (@veryjarring) February 28, 2022MP Anthony Housefather reached out in hopes of educating Boebert.
Good luck with that:Congresswoman @laurenboebert, while it’s good that you are not following the Trump line and are standing with #ukraine instead of #Putin it is sad to hear you compare free & democratic Canada to the invasion of Ukraine.
