Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert took a shot at a Democrat colleague who criticized her gun display saying, “Do your dishes, Hon.”
Boebert drew a little heat from anti-gun Democrats after a Zoom call with other lawmakers in which guns were sitting unsecured on a shelf behind her.

Rep. Jared Huffman (D-MO) indicated the display made him concerned for his safety once the pandemic subsides and Congressional panels are able to meet in person.
“If somebody wants to have a shrine to their gun fetish as a Zoom backdrop in their private life they can do that,” Huffman said.
“But this is our ‘hearing room,’ and at some point we will get past the COVID epidemic, and we’ll all start showing up in person, and our safety and our ability to conduct business civilly without feeling threatened is a relevant consideration, unfortunately.”

Is Huffman under the assumption she’s going to be toting all of those guns with her to Congress?

Lauren Boebert Fights For Gun Rights
Another Democrat lawmaker who took umbrage with Lauren Boebert’s display was Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) who said the guns were more dangerous than her kitchen sink.
“I always thought my dirty dishes piled up and accumulating bacteria were the most dangerous thing in a Zoom background,” scoffed Porter on Twitter.
The Democrat tagged ‘Room Rater,’ an account known for judging people’s living room and office spaces.
That group didn’t let her down, rating Boebert’s room as a zero out of ten and somehow taking a jab at the Republican as being a “fascist.”

Boebert isn’t the type to just sit back and accept the criticism and, as such, she fired back at Porter in epic fashion.
“It’s kind of alarming that she has so many dishes in her sink collecting bacteria,” Boebert said when asked to comment during a Fox News interview.
“Do your dishes, Hon.”

Boebert also took aim at Huffman calling him a “creep” and criticizing “the left’s disdain for the Constitution” which she said “was on full display” during the committee meeting.
Lost in the Democrat pearl-clutching was the fact that Boebert offered a strong defense of the Second Amendment during the hearing.
“We all took an oath to uphold and secure the Constitution, every single one of us,” she said.
“Our first act as members of Congress was to take our oath of office, and please allow me to remind you a portion of that oath, the chair and every other member here solemnly swore that we would support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” she added.

The GOP lawmaker went on to counter Huffman’s claims of a gun fetish by saying she is “busy fighting against the left’s real fetish for power and stripping Americans of their constitutional rights.”

don't say things like that to a democrat, they will cry and cry and cry, til they have flooded the u.s. with their fake tears.
How does a guy, or real man, in congress just not call Huffman a little bitch? Where are all the men these days?
GTFU
Good for you dear, stand your ground!!
Woman Picking Up Gun for Protection Is Among Shootout Victims
One of the victims of a chaotic shootout at a Louisiana gun shop was a grandmother picking up a weapon for protection who was caught in the crossfire. Veronica Billiot, 59, was one of three people fatally shot at the Jefferson Gun Outlet in Metairie on Saturday—which was apparently sparked by an argument between a customer and a clerk. Police believe that the customer, Joshua Williams, 27, shot employee Herbert Fischbach, 47—and then Williams and Billiot were fatally shot as others inside began firing. “She was completely innocent,” Billiot’s sister, Linda, told reporters. Two other people were wounded but are expected to survive.
Another idiot Californian. The garbage disposal is more dangerous on a daily bases
We need more like Lauren Boebert in Congress. Not the money grubbing idiots people like Omar & the squad or the illegal foreign nationals who have come in the back door or so called refugees that Obama /Biden administration force on the American citizen
Read about when JFK wanted Polosi Father investigated by the FBI But Edgar J Hoover was in control of the FBI & in bed with the mob. So nothing ever happened, But JFK was assassinated. Then his brother RFK assassinated as he was investigating his brothers death & running for President. THINK THINK. More of the democrats & RINO'S were in bed with the American mob.
That is Why JFK wanted Polosi's father investigated.
Yes most of the eastern crime families backed politicians & Judges,
Then some of them moved West into Nevada & California. That is why SF state congress is so bad with corruption & encourage Foreign nationals under the guise of being students( Spies from China) to back young men & women to run to the American congress The they place people to work for them or sleep with them. THINK
Boebert's got more guts than those who were complaining about her. Thank you Lord for giving us real Representatives like Lauren Boebert. Now if we can seriously start weeding out those who've been in their elected office for decades. It's time to clean house and establish term limits on those supposedly "public servants". The career politicians, they're like a full litter box. Without a good cleaning, the longer they hang around the more they stink. We need term limits! 12 yrs maximum. Any combination of elected service not to exceed twelve years. Then, show them the door, give them a nice pat on their back as they exit. No lifetime health coverage, no lifetime monthly retirement check, no perks… just a letter of appreciation (if warranted), their final paycheck and show them the door. Let them pay their own way back home. No free health care for life unless it's the "affordable health care" we have to use, no perks, no income from "in office" legislation and/or business dealings, nada! Just come in, serve their twelve years (2 yrs per term representative, 6 yrs per term senator or any combination of the two not to exceed 12 yrs) or less. Install quarterly performance evaluations to be completed by their constituents. If their performance falls below a pre-established acceptable level then they're given a written warning and are evaluated two weeks later. If their performance is not improving they're shown the door. Be done with these self serving, career politicians.
Trump-Loving Miami Doctor Charged With Hate Crime After Using Racial Slur Against Hispanic
A 58-year-old Trump-loving anesthesiologist from Miami has been charged with a hate crime after verbally attacking an Hispanic man who asked her to socially distance inside a Publix grocery store in Hialeah, Florida, on Friday. According to the arrest warrant published by the Miami Herald, Jennifer Susan Wright started “mumbling bad words” after the victim asked her to keep her distance in the checkout line. As the man then loaded his groceries into his car, Wright reportedly vandalized the car and yelled, “We should have gotten rid of you when we could,” according to the paper. She then allegedly said, “This is not going to be Biden’s America, this is my America” and “we should have burned it all.” The report goes on to say, “The defendant also proceeds to stab the victim’s vehicle with her keys while saying he needed to go back to his country.” She then punched him as he tried to call 911. Wright posted bail after her arrest.
Is this the Party of Trump? Woefully yes!
I know who I'll be standing behind the next time there's a riot in Congress…….
The two ripping the (R) Congresswoman should be embarrassed by their comments. She schooled them as a lot a Americans would have liked to. The constitution what they pledged to is just not a piece of paper with guidelines. It is not a living and breathing document. It is the law of this country written by our forefathers with a vison of the rights granted to us by the good lord himself and they pledged to up hold it. It is obvious they would like no guns. at all. What part of and shall not be infringed to they not understand. Good for Ms. Boerbert, it is refreshing to know there are still congress people that will fight for our country and speak freely for us while we still have 1 and 2. Thank you.
Take pride in exercising your second amendment rights.
Cold dead fingers!
"cowardly" yes, "man" NO! He's either a coward or a man. I've never heard of a cowardly man.
Funny that this cowardly man is so frightened of a woman with a gun. Perhaps he should treat her nice, or go join Biden in the basement.
I wish Virginia had Rep. Lauren Boebert, here fighting for the rights that our esteemed. "King" Governor Ralph Northam is busy trying to dismantle.
The hypocritical left does NOT believe in…"LIVE AND LET LIVE". They must ALWAYS be in control!
Very very sick people are holding the cards. In my opinion If guns are so bad and police and military are so bad. Every single secret service agent and fbi and cia and any other gun
carrying person should be disarmed right this second. Oh wait Dems only to disarm us not them got it The self serving Dems are just in this for themselves. We do not matter at all
My brother and I would head to school early so we could check our decoys out at the jump ponds. If the ducks were there we'd slay a few, throw them in the toolbox, throw our shotguns into the gun rack and go to school. Then, after the final bell we'd head back to our duck hole and slay a couple more then head home, clean them and cure them for eating later in the month. I had a '53 Chevy Pickup with a short bed at the time. My "work" truck. I sure wish I had that truck now. Anyway, that was back "then". One day my coaches heard I got a new shotgun and when I showed up for school shortly after I got the gun three of them and the vice principal came out and ogled over my new (used) Winchester 870. They all took turns dry firing it at low flying imaginary ducks that were flying over the parking lot. We could do that back then. Today? The local SWAT unit would be rolling in and we'd all have been in 'cuffs.
Ahhhh, I miss those days.
I voted for her, she's a better rep than the rino Tipton. If you don't like her gun display, don't look at it. When I was young, we ALL had gun racks in our trucks, and rifles hanging on them. All you whiny little libs need to realize that this is a right we all have.
I believe they're not scared enough. I don't mean physically but politically. For the most part they're pretty sure they're going to get re-elected so they really don't care what we think, want. They're all about their "party" except those Romney types. Those Romney types are all about whatever side of the bed is warmer. TERM LIMITS! Twelve years maximum, any combination of elected offices.
It seems to me that many members of our Congress are scared to death of the people. I think the reason is that, We the People, both on the left and right, are beginning to see that there is no difference between the Republicans or Democrats. They are two heads of the same snake. Our Congress has been bought by the corporations and oligarchs for a long time. They are addicted to the money and power their owners have bestowed on them. Sadly there is no way to reform Congress. We need a Congressional Congress called by 2/3s of the state legislatures to address the issues of political campaign "contributions", term limits, unending wars, and the revolving door between corporations and government positions. If we don't have the courage and the intelligence to do it then there will be some very tough times ahead.
Iowa Mother and Son Charged in Capitol Riot
A mother and son duo from Iowa are facing charges for their participation in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol building. Deborah Sandoval, 54, of Ankeny, Iowa is charged with entering a restricted building, impeding the orderly conduct of government, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Her son Salvador Sandoval Jr., 23, is charged with obstructing law enforcement, entering a restricted building, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. More than a hundred people have thus far been charged over the violence in Washington, D.C. Five people died in the attempted insurrection, including a Capitol Police officer, and former President Donald Trump was later impeached on charges of inciting the mob, though he was acquitted.
Oh my Mama
She did give me fancy feet
I'll be dancing on
And I'll tap tap tap my toes
Into those jailhouse floorboards
The only reason Jared Huffman should be worried is because he knows Biden and his helper should not be in the white house and American patriots are upset about it.
The Democrats are paranoid because they know that what they're doing right now to destroy all of Trumps policies and destroying this country is really ƥįƨƨįņģ off a lot of Americans and that's why they're fearful, AND THEY SHOULD BE! We Americans are sick of it and have had enough of the corrupt Democrats who only want POWER. I say we should keep them all behind those chain link fences with razor wire on top and make that their PRISON! We need a totally new MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN government!
From my cold dead hands.
They keep attacking and destroying us gun people, we will have to keep our guns to "protect ourselves from the Second Civil War they are trying to create"!! They want a "American/Venezuela where we cannot defend ourselves from their new American communist government they are trying to shove down our throats"!! Food for thought for all American gun owners!!!!….
That guy checked out a long time ago!!
That is one fine looking fascist! Democrats are a jealous bunch.
I'd rather have a woman with a shelf full of guns than a womyn with a sink full of dirty dishes any time!
That "old saying", it's fitting for sure. I totally agree with your observation. I thought along that same line when I read the article. Too many people see things and think "BAD" these days. Then they tend to jump to conclusions, pull the panic plug and make total fools of themselves. Actually, it's fun to watch sometimes. Fools claiming they're not are like a dog chasing its tail.
How would anyone know those guns are unsecured? For sll anyone knows those guns could be incapable of firing a round. What is that ols saying about assuming ?
Sound like a bunch of Nancys.
These 2 beautiful patriots could solve a huge portion of our current predicament in about 10 minutes!!!
Interesting very very interesting!!!
These pathetic thumb sucking Leftist. They can kill babies but they are scared to look at a gun. I guess the Leftist must have a guilty conscience for their hatred and ignorance . We need more people to stand up and push back at the Left before they destroy everything that is good in this country .
Rep Boebert, you are our antidote to all those antiAmericans now poisoning our halls of Congress. You are smart, quick thinking and brave….which is something I never thought I would have to say about an elected official in our Congress. But, you are indeed brave and I pray you will continue with your great retorts to these fools.
Chaney and McCarthy and McConnell are sewer bait and need to be replaced in 22!
Congress ladies Boebert and Greene are a breath of fresh air in the Republican Party. Stick in the muds like Chaney and McCarthy seem like they are fighting against the party. There are several other great Republicans in Congress too, but we need more like these 2 Ladies.
Keep it up gals!! We love it!!
We sure do. Vote out all democrats that won't work with the Republicans. This is the way it should work, but the democrats won't do it. They want all the power and money they
can get.
We need more REAL people like Lauren Boebert in office. It is up to US (yeah … that's right America … YOU and ME) to make sure that more "bread & butter" working Americans are REPRESENTED in government by those like us. The ' silver spoon' crowd should be thankful that conservatives have always been there to clean up their mess and pay for their documented and consistent failures. That being said, it is time to apply the LAW and make it stick to these offenders of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Or … America … do you want to wait until more people get hurt, cancelled, or forced into submission to the government dole? Think about it!
The 2008 Columbia v. Heller landmark decision "stipulates that a person has the right to own a gun to protect himself or herself, family, and property." It says "a gun" and not an unlimited number of them and a cellar full of ammunition to use it in public demonstrations or political upheavals. No word about carrying it, concealed or unconcealed. IMO that Second Amendment should be repealed and thoroughly discussed and rewritten by Congress. Otherwise it will remain and endless bone of contention between the two Parties.
If they freak out about her Zoom backdrop, they would really hate mine since you would see more than 15 rifles and shotguns plus air rifles and numerous self defense and hunting handguns and several hundred collectible knives etc. These idiot Commucrats can go to Hades.
Bobert understands that the 2nd Amendment is important, especially now, since liberal regressive democrites have forgotten what the 1st Amendment means.
If SOCIALIST Katie Porters' dishes have been sitting so long that they are full of bacteria , can you imagine what the rest of this pigs house looks like !!!!
So just how big a candy-ass is this clown Rep. Jared Huffman? And Katie Porter has always been an idiot and now we know that she is a slob to boot!
"There is no more Democratic Party, only the Liberal/Socialist/Communist Party"… Nah, it's the same party. Many folks are just waking up to it.
Na it is the liberal progressive terrorist party. Once they mobilized antifa and the looting, burning marxists in BLM they clearly meet the very deffinition of a terrorist organization given by the FBI and homeland security given on their terrorism home page.
You misread what I said: There was no police "out in the wilderness" in the 1800s, not in NYC! :-)
I was around in the 50's and watched the same television programming. What you claim about the people and the police is total hog wash.
I will keep my guns, Thank You.
Trust me, there will be some favorite pups who will be allowed to keep their guns if the left establishes gun control. Most, if not all of us conservatives will not be any of those favorite pups… but some of us will still have guns. Just not "legally" by their laws. Constitutionally? Yeah, we'll be legal.
If the Democrats take the guns away from us, they will take the guns from everybody, Republicans AND Democrats, so we will be even. I personally would not like to live in a country where everybody is out for himself. That's why we have the police and the national guard for personal protection from crime and any kind of violence.
