She wore a black shawl with the words, ‘Drill baby, drill’ emblazoned on it. Boebert, whose husband has made hundreds of thousands of dollars as a consultant for energy firms, is pushing for allowing more drilling for energy resources in her home state of Colorado.My friend @laurenboebert at #SOTUDrill Baby Drill!

I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there.Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better.— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) March 2, 2022Most people were left unimpressed.Mary L.
