Lauren Boebert's a clown. An embarrassment. Someone who in a functioning political party, not to mention, democracy, would get nowhere near the halls of power.
If it's not X-rated viewing of "Beetlejuice," it's a (now ex) husband threatening the neighbors. Or it's Boebert posing with her family pose holding assault rifles like a Manson Family Christmas Card.
