AURORA | Draped in a shawl with the words “drill baby drill”, Colorado Congressperson Lauren Boebert, R-Rifle, yelled and jeered from her seat in the House Chamber several times during the State of the Union speech Tuesday night, according to press reports from the speech.
In once instance, she interjected while President Joe Biden spoke of “flag draped coffins” and soldiers lost to the impacts of war.
“When Biden said flag draped coffins I couldn’t stay silent,” Boebert tweeted on her personal account shortly after. “I told him directly he did it. He put 13 in there. Our heroic servicemen and women deserve so much better.”
Boebert’s moment came as Biden began to discuss how his son, who died of cancer, was among the many veterans who may have suffered from toxic exposure injuries from military burn pits, used extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“A cancer that put them in a flag-draped coffin” Biden started to say when Boebert yelled, “You put them in. Thirteen of them!”
The comment drew an outpouring of boos from Democrats, adding a note of division to an address that received several moments of robust bipartisan applause. Democrats and Republicans from both chambers stood up and clapped as the president discussed the strength and resolute of the Ukrainian people in the face of Russian aggression.
Boebert, who was seated next to fellow GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, continued to make comments throughout the speech. Greene also received blowback for her shouting over the president during the hour-long address.
“Lauren Boebert has laughed a few times, shouts ‘that’s right’ when Biden says not to defund the police,” an NBC congressional reporter tweeted from the speech.
Boebert garnered immediate condemnation following the speech. Asked about the notes of bipartisanship in Biden’s speech, Rep. Jason Crow, D-Centennial, told Sentinel Colorado, “I think that was a theme and an approach that really stuck out to me, certainly, and the others in the chamber. With the exception of Miss Boebert, of course.”
Crow went on to say that he encouraged Boebert to stop the outbursts.
“We’ve known for a very long time that Lauren Boebert doesn’t know what she’s doing, and is not interested in legislating or even knowing the issues or facts…she doesn’t understand service or sacrifice. It’s something she can’t wrap her brain around,” Crow said.
I do not expect adult behavior from legislators any longer because I have had to adjust my expectations downward over the years to comport with experience. That said I do not accept such an immature lack of decorum. Many disagree with this President and his administration, but there is an appropriate time, place, and manner for that, and this was not it. Her childish, attention-seeking outbursts were unseemly and are to her extreme discredit.
One small matter. When posting we get the notice “Awaiting for approval”. I would expect professional journalists to get that notice grammatically correct.
Thank you Rep. Jason Crow!
Boebert voted against all bills that would help vets and wanted to end ACA healthcare which serves millions of US vets. As a Coloradan and military family, my parents buried in Arlington National Cemetery, I’m ashamed to have Boebert representing CO and shouting out disrespectfully when Pres. Biden talking about his own son’s sacrifices in military. Vote her out as incompetent, corrupt disgrace, and if she’s found guilty of campaign fraud as she is being investigated for, lock her up. https://coloradonewsline.com/2021/09/29/10-ways-lauren-boebert-has-failed-coloradans/
She’s a stain on the state. Stupid, lazy, uncouth, juvenile, racist. Those fit her well. She has done nothing for her district and is just there for all the money she can steal from campaign funds.
A fool who has no respect for her own job. And they wonder why it seems that metro people don’t care about the Western Slope.
If they would stop electing fools they wouldn’t have to worry about the liberal metro areas because their conservative Congressperson has their back. Instead they pick this clown ????! No wonder Covid pick them off like pigs to slaughter. No wonder they are suffering economically. Vote Stupid, Get Stupid.
Unfortunately, the entire state is thrown under the bus by this ignorant broad who continues to think she’s cute when instead she is a foolish boar.
These women are heroes
Lmao, heroes who open endorse White Supremacist Nazis, barely high school educations, and push completely unhinged conspiracy theories about everything? They belong in a mental institution.
Well I can agree that respect is due…. however when Biden will not face the news and admit that under his watch the US has gone way worse than anyone could imagine. So do you call out some one when they lie? For all you that may love Crowe- he is a person that helped cause afganistan… while having served there (not the war hero he claims to be) he has used it to get himself elected. Those soldiers that I have met (including my daughter that served 8 years there) think he is a joke! He has ambitions that are beyond his ability… He may do somethings that are good but he is on board to help the continued decline. At least Bobert for all her flaws STANDS UP FOR FREEDOM. More than I can say for a under-performing Representative that he is
Boebert did nothing different that the Dems have done in the past. Look at Pelosi back there behind Biden doing the communist clap. Remember that Pelosi was the one who tore up Trumps State of the Union Address before. That however is OK with the Dems. If they want to talk about disrespect then they need only look at their own party and their actions.
One thing that was very noticeable is that there were not even that many in attendance. It looks like many Republican’s and even democrats did not show up to hear Biden. This should tell you something about the fracturing among the Dems. How many Dems are jumping off the Biden row boat lifejackets or not !!!
