Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), a first-term Congresswoman who has attracted notoriety for her belligerent promotion of dangerous and destructive conspiracy theories, is continuing her apparent effort to rile up her supporters against President Joe Biden and other Democrats in power. On Friday, among other posts on Twitter, she petulantly insisted that she works “for the people of Pueblo, not the people of Paris.” The comment references the Paris climate accord, which Biden recently moved to rejoin — but the Paris climate accord isn’t known under that name because it’s somehow exclusively for the people of Paris! The accord, which was formulated in Paris and outlines a plan to combat climate change, features signatories from across the world.
I work for the people of Pueblo, not the people of Paris.

In another post, Boebert pushed the tired lie that President Biden has some kind of financially beneficial relationship with foreign interests. She mockingly said that “Perhaps [Biden] can donate his salary, since he does so well on foreign deals,” which is just not accurate. Late last year, Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates insisted in a statement published by The New York Times that the then-Democratic presidential nominee “has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever.” Referencing a son of the president, Boebert also complained that “Energy workers get to lose their jobs, while Hunter makes millions with a foreign energy company!” — but Hunter Biden’s foreign business connections just do not relate to the actual actions of the Biden presidential administration.
Wondering if the Big Guy’s cut got upgraded since he’s now the President?
He used to get 10%. Maybe he gets 20% now.
Perhaps he can donate his salary, since he does so well on foreign deals.

Joe Biden’s America:
You have to wear a mask, but he doesn’t.
Soldiers have to sleep on the garage floor, while he sleeps comfy & cozy in his bed.
Energy workers get to lose their jobs, while Hunter makes millions with a foreign energy company!

Boebert also mocked President Biden’s age, although he’s within a few years of ex-President Donald Trump’s own age, and the idea that the current president is somehow physically incapacitated is just ridiculous and baseless. During the presidential campaign season, Trump and his allies complained that Biden was supposedly staying in his “basement,” which was simply not reflective of the basic reality of the situation. Biden went out for an array of in-person campaign events, and he sometimes held back because of the COVID-19 pandemic — a concept that is not complicated.
Is the fencing in DC to keep Joe from wandering off?

Had the WHO not taken China at their word, COVID-19 would never have spiraled so deeply out of control.
The WHO is beholden to China and American taxpayers should not be sending them nearly a half a billion dollars each year.https://t.co/l7RnXSeFks
