We’d be shocked if you haven’t heard the name Lauren Boebert by now. The Congresswoman has made a name for herself taking the most extreme and offensive stances on just about every political topic. She’s been a huge Donald Trump supporter and was in contact with multiple organizers of the January 6 rally-turned-insurrection. Most recently she scoffed at the idea of any sort of gun reform — despite yet another school shooting in which a teenager legally bought an assault rifle and used it to murder 19 people before anyone — including “good guys with guns” — could do anything.
