Lauren Boebert was probably not prepared for these brutal responses to her “grooming” tweet
Rep. Lauren Boebert may not like being mentioned alongside her unhinged colleague, Marjorie Taylor Greene, but the Colorado Republican appears to have no trouble making a fool of herself all on her own.Boebert took to social media to parrot the Right’s favorite, newly-revived talking point — that LGBTQ people are “groomers.” Re-tweeting a trailer for the upcoming Discovery+ reality series Generation Drag posted by the conservative Libs of TikTok account, Boebert wrote, “Siri, define grooming.”Siri, define grooming.
https://t.co/FeZ6GxedP0— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) April 29, 2022Generation Drag is produced by Tyra Banks and follows five teenagers and their families as they prepare for the biggest drag performances of their lives at Dragutante, a drag ball for queer teens in Colorado.
The series offers an intimate look at the aspiring young performers as they navigate their true identities and embrace their inner drag divas.In other words, the only grooming it might feature is the painstaking process of getting glitter out of a wig.“I have such admiration and respect for these teens,” Banks said in a press release. “They are bravely navigating coming into their own in a world that can be very challenging and not always accepting.
What is so beautiful is seeing their parents and siblings supporting them.”Boebert likely thought she was being clever by implying the trailer presents a definition of grooming, but all she proved is she’s the one who needs help defining the term.Commenters were more than happy to assist, with more than a few bringing up that time her husband was arrested for exposing himself to a minor in a bowling alley:That is not grooming.
