I always look to sitcom actors for political wisdom, if I can't get it from Senators from Pennsylvania who dress like slobs. Those are my two "go to" sources.

After your comment to see if she's still around, she is, just as horrible but her cancer has returned and it's, she says, inoperable.

I don't feel bad for her.

Those are all accurate.

The dirtbag serves as an "honorary chair" of the antifeminist, misogynistic "Feminists for Life."

I don't give a rat's ass what she says.

If you care to read further about her telling "the left" what to say and what to do:

There is always the republican Christian prayer:::

Lauren Boebert’s prayer for President Joe Biden: “May his days be few.”
Psalm 109
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20109&version=KJV

8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

but as long as we still have free speech in this country, she can say whatever she wants, regardless of how uninformed, misguided and ignorant it is.

And I am free to call it uninformed, misguided and ignorant. If she truly wants people to tone down extreme rhetoric, she should look to her "friends on the RIGHT."
