GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert Self-Owns With ‘Destroying Our Freedoms’ Twitter Rant

The Colorado Republican railed against “a political party that is laser-focused on destroying our freedoms” and people pointed out the same thing.

Things got a little awkward for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) in the replies to her latest bombastic tweet.

The QAnon conspiracy theory-endorsing lawmaker tweeted Friday about the United States having “a political party that is laser-focused on destroying our freedoms.”

“It is not only shocking, but very dangerous,” Boebert blustered:

We live in the freest country on planet earth. The rest of the world envies our freedoms. Meanwhile, we have a political party that is laser-focused on destroying our freedoms. It is not only shocking, but very dangerous.

Boebert was presumably talking about the Democrats following President Joe Biden’s executive orders aimed at combating gun violence, which she has railed against repeatedly on social media in recent days.

But as she didn’t explicitly name the party, critics mockingly interpreted Boebert’s post as a ding at her own party, the GOP:

I know, right? The @GOP sucks.

We have a political party laser focused on taking rights away from minorities and it’s the QOP

Yes, your party is. And congratulations to your staffer for recognizing it. Also, it's a pleasure to see proper punctuation and spelling, while retaining your content-free style.

What's shocking and dangerous is how little you know about the rest of the world.

Has Lauren been reading Oscar Wilde?
