WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) released the following statement:
“We should take Democrats at their word when they say never let a crisis go to waste. Their hypocrisy is on full display with talks of impeachment, censure, and other ways to punish Republicans for false accusations of inciting the type of violence they have so frequently and transparently supported in the past,” said Congresswomen Lauren Boebert.
“And, once again, their false attacks go unchallenged. They accuse me of live-tweeting the Speaker’s presence after she had been safely removed from the Capitol, as if I was revealing some big secret, when in fact this removal was also being broadcast on TV. They act as if Republicans created objections to the Electoral College certification out of thin air, when it was Democrats who objected in 2001, 2005 and 2017. They act as though a reference to the founding of our country and the bravery of upholding our Constitutional oath is criminal, which says a whole lot more about them than it does about me or any other Republican.”
“The reality is that Joe Biden didn’t condemn Antifa when he had a chance to, Kamala Harris spent much of the summer helping those arrested for violent behavior post bail and get back on the streets as quickly as possible, and Speaker Pelosi encouraged uprisings all over the country. I denounced the violence over the summer just as I did the recent events at the Capitol. I defended our Constitution and I always will.”
“America will persevere because freedom always prevails. But let’s get real—the far-left and their policies are causing harm to our country. I refuse to let their political machine write a narrative that millions of Americans know is false.”
Background:
For more than a decade, leading Democrats and Hollywood elites have encouraged mob violence to achieve their political goals. Several examples include but are not limited to:
- In 2008, President Obama said, “I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face.” Source
- In June 2018, Rep. Maxine Waters said, “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, at a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” Source
- In July 2018, Senator Cory Booker said, “That’s my call to action here. Please just don’t come here and then go home. Go to the Hill today…Please, get up in the face of some congresspeople.” Source
- In June of 2018, then Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said, “I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be.” Source
- In 2017, Senator Tim Kaine said, “So, the way we get outside the bubble is we take advantage of this tremendous public outcry against the administration…What we’ve got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box, and now there’s the momentum to be able to do this.” Source
- In August 2020, Rep. Ayanna Pressley said, “There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives.” Source
- In March 2018, Joe Biden said, “If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.” Source
- In February 2018, Donny Deutsch said, “People need to start taking to the streets. You know this is a dictator.” Source
- In October 2018, former Attorney General Eric Holder said, “If they go low, we kick them.” Source
- In October 2016, Robert Deniro said, “I’d like to punch him in the face.” Source
- In June 2017, Johnny Depp said, “When was the last time an actor assonated a President?” Source
- In September 2018, Carol Cooke said, “Where is John Wilkes Boothe when you need him?” Source
- In January 2017, Madonna said, “Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.” Source
- In October 2017, Rep. Maxine Waters said, “I will go and take Trump out tonight.” Source
- In August 2017, Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal said, “I hope Trump is assassinated!” Source
At least someone on captial hill is brave enough to call out dems for the liars that they are, at least for now…
Lauren,
Thank you for the truth. Keep on challenging the delusional lies of the Marxists. Put them in print as you just did. But watch your back. They will target you to set you up. They will wait for you when you are alone. So stay with a few patriots and don’t give them the chance. I wish there were 300 of you in the House. Our country, not the elite intelligentsia, would be far better off.
There was plenty of Americans who attended last weeks rally in D.C. that didn’t participate in destruction of property or acts of violence but wanted their voices heard and truly felt that the election was rigged to oust President Trump, after all, the never Trump movement has been alive before he was ever sworn into office and Pelosi and crew has done everything possible to make his term horrible, putting up roadblocks everywhere. Things will not get better now that the House is impeaching him for a rushed second time, she is stoking the fire and if all hell breaks… Read more »
“But let’s get real—the far-left and their policies are causing harm to our country.”
I am in full agreement with this statement. Allow me to give you an example of what the ideas of the left give fruit to:

DO AS I SAY….NOT AS I DO!
Are you perchance related to “Country Boy?” Enquiring minds want to know.
You can’t be serious? You pick these bits of expressions of frustration and tongue in cheek statements made, and try to compare them with what happened a week ago, and what is apparently going to continue to happen? Open your eyes, young lady! This is the worst assault on our nation’s Capitol by its own citizens in our history! This was a gang of thugs, anarchists, and traitors storming and defacing our Capitol and the morons who fell in line behind them and the lying, self-centered, traitors who set them off with their rabble-rousing rhetoric! The people who rioted during… Read more »
And so now we will have as the President an adult male who has been caught on film sexually molesting young, and old, females. But that’s okay. He is also a person who, according to protective detail members, likes to swim and walk around nude in front of female detail members on numerous occasions. So we trade a brash, bullying, capable man for a pervert. To some that is a good trade. I don’t think so.
Your village called. They want their idiot back!
Disregard.
“There are none so blind as he who will not see.”
Go preach to your Democrat (socialist /Communist) friends, your words are not welcome here just like your cancel culture.
This is a patriot site.
well said my friend
And you think TRUMP is living in an alternate reality?
The scripture says that those who accuse you are guilty of the same. But I know that won’t matter to you, and the rest of the Godless heathens!
Trump has sealed his legacy, by not conceding after the courts refused to touch the appeals. That is not the same as calling for violence, which these many examples are about. To i!ply that they are acceptable because you feel that the ends somehow justify the means, is as irresponsible as is what the Democrats are doing right at this very moment, with a second impeachment, in the final days of Trumps administration. The Democrats are trying to do 2 things, one to run both Trumps and those who voted for Trumps administration nose in it, and to keep Trump… Read more »
You must have a really bad headache after writing that. It obviously wasn’t easy for you to do.
Not to mention the anger along with the HATE !!!!!!!!
This is no place for antifia or blm so, get lost!
You are correct in many ways. Too bad the Dems can’t really claim the high ground. They have plenty of lying, jerk-wad politicians, too. While I’m glad to see Mr. Trump go, I certainly don’t like who’s coming in. We need a viable 3rd party.
