Welcome to what is the 893rd original profile here at “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day”, where we’ll be discussing Lauren Boebert, who just won the GOP Primary for the seat for U.S. House Representatives from Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District after upsetting Congressman Scott Tipton a few weeks ago.
Boebert, prior to her first Congressional run gained notoriety as the owner of Shooter’s Grill, which amounts to being a Hooters if the women wear a lot more denim and a gun holstered at their hip. Let’s look past this novel concept to realize that Boebert’s libertarian/conservative point of view (she’s opposed to any form of income tax increase, on any bracket, but supports Donald Trump’s stupid idea for a border wall along the U.S./Mexico border) applies to how she’d like to run her restaurant, as Shooter’s Grill has already had warnings from the health department for allowing its customers to get sick eating there (she attacked the local media for reporting on it, incidentally), and then going “next level” and refusing to obey orders to close her dining area during the Covid-19 pandemic, until she was forced to shut down by local authorities, who suspended her food license.
Of course, she paints a picture in this where she’s the heroine standing up for “freedom” when she seems to just use it to see that as many people are afflicted with disease as possible. If you’re already noticing a pattern of “weird” around Boebert, what with the gun-themed restaurant that makes everyone sick and generally being a Covidiot, hang on to your hats…
She is also a Qanon conspiracy theory supporter, going on record that “she hopes its real”, which is an odd way to regard the absolutely deranged belief that there Democrats who oppose Donald Trump running subterranean Satanic cults harvesting fear hormones from children they molest and kill, and their opposition to Trump is because he’s going to expose and arrest them all. That’s a weird thing to “hope” is true. After she won the primary, the media decided to ask Boebert about her support for the Qanon conspiracy theory, expecting that she might back off now that she had to come to the center for the general election in November… but she reaffirmed it saying she believed “parts” of the theory and that “Qanon means a lot of things to a lot of different people”.
That may be the case, but the reality is, it’s all insane bulls***.
