Let’s talk about Lauren

Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting all the attention this week, mostly because she’s said her political enemies should be executed.She’s now a right wing heroine and will no doubt be feted and petted at all the fringe dwelling events around the country. There is no conspiracy theory she hasn’t flogged as a wingnut “influencer” these past couple of years. But she’s also a QAnon believer even if she’s lying about it.

But what about Lauren Boebert? This seems to me to be a very forthright endorsement of QAnon:

Also:

Boebert made headlines last year when she traveled to an event Beto O’Rourke, then a Democratic presidential candidate, was holding and challenged his proposed gun buyback program.

“I was one of the gun-owning Americans who heard you speak regarding your ‘Hell yes, I’m going to take your AR-15s and AK-47s.’ Well, I’m here to say, ‘Hell no you’re not,'” she declared.

She made headlines again in May by violating state coronavirus guidelines and reopening her restaurant, Shooters Grill.

They are all conspiracy mongering trolls. Nothing more. And frankly, I doubt these people even believe half the stuff they are passing on to their followers. They are just chasing fame and whatever comes with it. And they’re good at it. Donald Trump showed the way: be an ignorant, raving, narcissistic, bully and you can go far in Republican politics.

By the way, Boebert was tweeting 1776 on January 6th and letting her people know they wouldn’t find Nancy Pelosi on the Senate floor. She claimed the people assaulting the Capitol were her constituents. She insisted that she needed to be armed at all times. She is just as much of a menace as Greene.
