1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I can't wait for them to rid us of Boobert, so they can go after Gaetz, TraitorGreene and Jordan.

[dchill]

2. Say it ain't so!! JK. 😆

[Effete Snob]

3. This can be done to more women

If this is where we want to go.

[BlackSkimmer]

5. No shit.

And why do we believe this tweet anyway?

Why do people even believe crap people put on Twitter? It blows my mind.

[Effete Snob]

9. It has names of the originators

This is not from an anonymous speaker, but from an identified publisher who, for what it’s worth, is open to legal liability.

But, while I get the hypocrisy, this is the ultimate in slut shaming.

[jmowreader]

40. Maybe

The issue is Boebert has decided she knows how the rest of us should live.

A long time ago Guy Kawasaki wrote a book in which he described Jean-Louis Gassee: he’s like the uncle who tells you not to smoke or drink because he has a cough and a hangover. That describes Boebert well.

[Effete Snob]

42. So the Lindsay Graham stuff is fair game?

[paleotn]

74. Absolutely.

[Ms. Toad]

100. Not, it's not according to the owner of the site (EarlG).

While I'm on the subject, please knock off the "Lindsey Graham is gay/a woman" jokes. Most of you have figured this out by now, and DU Juries actually have a pretty solid track record of removing these posts, but you know what would be even better? If we didn't have to send such bigoted "jokes" to Juries in the first place.

[AntiFascist]

179. WTF...

so now this site is protecting anyone who happens to be in Congress, no matter if they are Republican???

Homophobic jokes should be off limits, but anything a paid escort may have said about Lindsay Graham should not be, including the Lady Bug thing! Je Proteste!

[Ms. Toad]

183. No. This site is protecting its LGBTQI members.

You bash us everytime you misgender anyone, use gay as an insult, slut shame anyone, shame them about abortions, etd. regardless of who your target is.

Everytime you use characteristics which define us to trash someone, you are telling us exactly what you think about us. We're tired of being used as battering rams. Look at how many recommendations that thread had. You can't batter your target without bruising those of us whose lives are being used as weapons. And it's against the site rules.

Find another way to attack Repuiblicans which does make us collateral damage.

[AntiFascist]

185. I happen to be a gay man myself...

and the only one I am bashing is a closeted gay Republican who has consistently voted against the LGBTQI community. Are you defending him?

[Ms. Toad]

189. I am not defending him -

I am just sick to death of being used as a battering ram. I have seen far too many LGBTQI children near suicide because they hear their friends, parents, teachers, church, etc. repeatedly use gay as an insult, or misgender people to imply they don't conform to gender norms.

The fact that your subjective intent to insult someone else does not alter the impact on people who hear that what you believe is that they are trash, not manly enough, not womanly enough, etc.

Whether you, personally, are insujlted by it is irrelevant. I am, as are many other LGBT members (both those still here, and those who have just given up because of all the homophobic/transphobic insults). I linked you to the post from EarlG which clearly tells you that you need to take that trash elsewhere.

[AntiFascist]

191. I'm sorry but you must be misinterpreting my post...

I'm not criticizing Graham for being gay, hell, we could use more LGBTQ+ congresspeople. I'm criticizing him for being a HYPOCRITE.

[Ms. Toad]

193. That's the rationalization everyone uses.

but that does not change how it is perceived by LGBTQI people who hear you insulting Graham by using a woman's name to insult him, or call him gay to insult him.

Take it somewhere else, or take it up with EarlG if you don't like it.

[AntiFascist]

202. Rationalization everyone uses for what?

Your post doesn't make any sense. Lady Bug is the name of an insect, not a woman's name. I think you are referring to other peoples' posts, not mine.

[gldstwmn]

126. No it is not and I cringe every time someone calls him she or Miss Lindsay.

It ain't cute.

[AntiFascist]

184. Here's something to cringe about...

On June 4th, 2020, adult film actor Sean Harding[1] tweeted, "There is a homophobic republican senator who is no better than Trump who keeps passing legislation that is damaging to the lgbt and minority communities. Every sex worker I know has been hired by this man. Wondering if enough of us spoke out if that could get him out of office?" and "I cannot do this alone. If you’d be willing to stand with me against LG please let me know." Lindsey Graham is the only senator with the initials L.G.

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/lindsey-graham-lady-g-rumor

[gldstwmn]

186. That is not how we beat Lindsey Graham.

[AntiFascist]

187. Maybe not, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy n/t

[Fiendish Thingy]

89. These are the same people who took down Cawthorn. Nt

[Alexander Of Assyria]

11. Women are not the issue, the issue is the hypocrisy and Cancun Cruz's apparent infatuation.

[Effete Snob]

17. How many men have had abortions?

This is a tactic which can uniquely be used against women.

[blue neen]

54. Control of our reproductive rights is a tactic being used against women.

The Republicans in some states have discussed tracking women's periods so they'll know if a pregnancy occurs, to make sure those women can't seek abortions. They also want to make sure women don't cross state lines to obtain an abortion, which is, in real essence, stalking.

Lauren Boebert was apparently able to access healthcare when she needed it, something she would deny other women.

[paleotn]

72. How many adamant forced birthers have had abortions?

That's what I want to know. Seems there's a word associated with that....it's right on the tip of my tongue...hypo...umm...hypo...,hypocrisy. That's it!

And yes, I want the Democratic Party to go there. As the old saying goes, bring guns to gun fights, not butter knives.

[JI7]

198. We have gone after Men like Bob Barr and that weird looking Trump advisor

who have told the women they got pregnant to get an abortion . Or even people like McCain who opposed abortion but when asked about his own daughter he said he would support whatever they decided to do .

[Mr.Bill]

28. I want to go somewhere where there's

no Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor-Green in Congress.

[Effete Snob]

37. There are more than those two

Are those the only two?

How about a look at what’s been going on between Elise Stefanik’s legs?

She’s also fair game, right?

[Mr.Bill]

53. My opinion is Stefanik is not in their league,

but she's working on it.

[paleotn]

81. Absolutely.

What is it about hypocrisy and "morality" is for the little people that you don't quite understand??

[Effete Snob]

110. I guess I'm just fucking stupid

Is that your point?

[gldstwmn]

128. Colorado is quite progressive. Boebert is an anamoly here.

[Mr.Bill]

131. I know that.

I hear she didn't win by much. Hopefully her stay in Cingress will be brief.

[lame54]

56. To quote Mississippi Burning...

Ward: Just don't lose sight of whose rights you're violating
Anderson: Don't put me on your perch, Mr. Ward
Ward: Don't drag me into your gutter, Mr. Anderson
Anderson: These people crawled out of the sewer, Mr. Ward. Maybe the gutter is where we ought to be

https://clip.cafe/mississippi-burning-1988/dont-put-on-perch/

[paleotn]

79. Perfect analogy.

[msfiddlestix]

127. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️

[calimary]

130. Ouch!

[madaboutharry]

4. I would be careful here.

This seems rather dubious to me.

Most of all, I don’t care if she is a hypocrite. Revealing private medical information is a violation of a person’s privacy, a violation of federal law, and always wrong.

[Mariana]

34. It's only a violation if it's revealed by a medical professional.

If Boebert told a friend or a relative or a stranger in a bar that she had two abortions, that person is free to repeat what she told them. If someone wants privacy about their medical decisions, they shouldn't blab about them to anyone who isn't bound by HIPAA.

I do agree that no evidence has been provided that she had two abortions, so it would be foolish to believe that particular assertion at this time. It shouldn't be too difficult to verify some of the other claims, if they are true.

[Mr.Bill]

51. HIPAA laws prohibit people in the health care industry

from revealing medical information. It doesn't apply to ordinary citizens. That's probably why they are not naming their source. If that source works where the abortions took place, yes they are in trouble. But if their source is a friend she told about it back when it happened, or even recently, they are in the clear.

[paleotn]

76. It's NOT a HIPPA violation....

Dear god, folks. That only applies to healthcare providers. Geeez.

[msfiddlestix]

132. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️

sick to death of this ridiculous assertion. My apartment manager has attempted to use that in all sorts of equally ridiculous scenarios.

I finally sat her down to make it real clear that if she's on a drunken binge out in the public and she falls flat on her face on a public sidewalk, people including residents have the right to identify/describe that condition for what it obviously is. And they are completely within their rights to share it with others. It is not a violation of HIIPA/HIPPA in anyway shape or form.

She gets in now, after attempting to evict a resident for sharing what happened in plain site.

I'm surprised she still has her job.

[kcr]

103. Wrong

If it's true, it is absolutely in bounds to point out the hypocrisy. It's only a violation if a medical professional discloses it.

[madaboutharry]

118. Not wrong.

We just have a different opinion.

If it didn’t come from a medical provider then of course HIPAA doesn’t apply. What that means is someone betrayed her privacy.

Yes, she could be a hypocrite, but the line walked here is thin. Calling out any woman for having an abortion might be territory pro-choice advocates need to avoid. It’s an opinion.

[kcr]

122. There are opinions and then there are facts

No one is doing anything illegal here, and it is ludicrous to suggest otherwise. That is a fact.

[ZonkerHarris]

172. If you are secretly gay and vote for laws that repress gay people then that should public

If you had abortions and vote to remove legal abortion from women then maybe the public should know

[Polybius]

174. If's not hypocrisy if she changed her mind

She could have been pro-choice at 18, then got more political as the years went on and became anti-abortion. Lord knows my views changed since I've been 18.

[kcr]

176. Yes, it is.

She is actively trying to deny women a right she had no problem exercising herself. That is what hypocrisy is. I'm sure most hypocrites feel entirely justified in their hypocrisy, no doubt.

[Polybius]

177. So even if she lives until 90 she can never change her mind and be anti-abortion?

Sorry, that's not what hypocrisy is. Hypocrisy is if she had an abortion last month, while actively trying to make it illegal. Not if she had one (or two) at 18.

[kcr]

178. She can change her mind all she wants

But it doesn't change the fact she's trying to take a right away a right for others that she herself chose. It would be one thing if she'd been open about that and explained that she changed her mind. But she didn't, did she? She chose to be a hypocrite instead.

[Polybius]

180. What if a Democrat in Congress had an AR-15 IN 2004, and votes to ban them this year?

Is that Democrat a hypocrite? You have to be consistent, or risk hypocrisy yourself.

[kcr]

181. This is just getting silly

But, fine. If said Democrat had an AR-15 but didn't disclose it while voting to ban AR-15s, then yes. They would be a hypocrite. Because that's what that word means.

[Polybius]

194. You're consistent, but I still respectfully disagree

So if she disclosed her 2005 abortion(s) it wouldn't be hypocrisy if she voted to ban them in 2022?


We don't see eye to eye, but that's fine. How I view it:

If a Democrat legally had an AR-15 IN 2005, I don't think that he or she should have to tell us. Perhaps the mass shootings changed his or her mind.

Glad to debate you though, even though we don't agree.

[kcr]

195. I'll just end by saying

That it's mighty interesting you're equating gun ownership with the right to abortion. I'm sure that's no acccident.

[Polybius]

196. I just wanted to find something that our side is usually against to make the hypocrisy point

The AWB is something most of us support, while banning abortion is something most Republicans in Congress support. You were consistent and not a hypocrite, so I can't argue with you, even if we disagree.

[JI7]

199. Point not made because they are different issues . It's like saying if it's ok to get an abortion

for teenagers then it should be ok to get guns .

[Polybius]

200. It was made well, you just missed it

If you do (or own something) at 18, is it ok to take want to outlaw that very thing you did (abortion or own an AK) 17 years later? IMO, it doesn't make you a hypocrite if you owned an AK and now want to ban them, or had an abortion and now want to ban them.

But that's ok, some agree, some don't. You should have seen me at 18.

[JI7]

201. Abortion and guns are not the same thing . Abortion involves control over one's own body/being

As for if one had a gun when they were young and oppose it now they can explain it.

And Boebert herself can explain her position also but she is just a typical right wing asshole that makes abortion a political issue for political gain . But she should be asked if there should be a statute of limitations on being charged for getting an abortion .

[Polybius]

210. No kidding

Two topics were compared for hypocrisy as regards to bans.

[demmiblue]

6. Is there a legitimate source for this? n/t

[IcyPeas]

7. how would they know this? call me skeptical.

[sarisataka]

8. 1st-Twitter.

2nd-if it was true does that mean it is OK to shame her for having been a sex worker who had abortions?

[Tony_FLADEM]

14. After What She Wished for President Biden a Few Days Ago

Yes. She deserves it.

https://www.newsweek.com/lauren-boebert-joe-biden-prays-days-few-charis-christian-center-bible-1714991

[Caliman73]

24. Agreed in the dubious sourcing.

I also understand the concern over shaming her for being a sex worker and for having abortions, but it isn't about that. I have no problem with anyone doing sex work. It is work, and if you are conscientious and fair in your work, there is no stigma in my book. Abortions are a private choice and private matter.

I have a problem when people look down upon others and try to impose their own twisted morality through legislation and are hypocrites. The shame is in the hypocrisy not the actions she undertook earlier. I would have more respect for her if she was open about her issues and had some respect for the choices of other people. She doesn't. She is cruel and she is a grifter. For that she should always be shamed.

I actually don't even care if this turns out to be true or not. Boebert is as despicable as you can get regardless of this potential revelation.

[rubbersole]

73. Amen.

[dixiechiken1]

78. YEEEESSSSSSS!!! ☝️☝️☝️

[paleotn]

77. Let me think about that......

...........YES!!!!! One reaps what one sows. That's biblical ya know.

[Skittles]

112. NO

it's OK to shame her for pimping for the party that is anti-choice and routinely judges the morals of others

[sarisataka]

120. D'accord

If only the headline had something to do with hypocrisy

[VMA131Marine]

10. American Muckrakers PAC is legitimate

https://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/detail.php?cmte=C00776062&cycle=2022

[GoCubsGo]

27. This is the same group that released the Madison Cawthorn videos.

Open Secrets lists them as being "Liberal," but i am not convinced this is the case. From various things I have read, it sounds more like they're Republicans who want to rid their party of those who make them look bad. After taking out Cawthorn, they said they're coming after Boebert next. Looks like they kept their word on that.

[Tony_FLADEM]

48. Adam Kinzinger Is Behind This Group

[GoCubsGo]

52. I didn't realize that. Thanks.

So, yeah. It is Republicans eating their own.

[wnylib]

80. How do you know that?

[Tony_FLADEM]

97. He posted something on his twitter account

stating that his PAC went after Cawthorn.

[Effete Snob]

144. Because this is being done BEFORE the primaries

This is being done to help another Republican win.

[crickets]

161. Kinzinger started a PAC called Country First.

I don't think he's involved with American Muckrakers PAC.

[Generic Brad]

93. I suspect you can't run for office as a Republican unless you are blackmailable

That brings with it mutually assured self destruction provided the people that got the blackmailable person into the fold was being honest about their stuff. I could see firebrand extremists easily succumbing to a trap like this.

[Mr.Bill]

136. Being blackmailable would also explain

some of the bizarre behavior and loyalties of some of the republicans. I've long said there is a lot of blackmail and/or bribery going on in that party, probably plenty of both.

[jmbar2]

12. Slippery slope!!!

Publicly doxing women for abortions, rumored or real, is just wrong.

[LeftInTX]

15. Not if Ted Cruz was the sugar daddy..LOL

[rogue emissary]

18. Oh gross.

[LeftInTX]

21. It might help get rid of him!! Voters tolerate Trump's amoral behavior, but won't tolerate Cruz's

[paleotn]

85. You do realize we're in a "gun fight" to preserve democracy.

Maybe we can just pat ourselves on the back about how upright and moral we were after the fascists take over our government. Not me. I'd rather kick them between the proverbial legs. I'll deal with the morality of these actions after the bastards are destroyed.

[Effete Snob]

146. Then why publish this before the primary

Are we that dumb?

This will help a different Republican.

[kcr]

105. Wrong

It is vital to point out their hypocrisy.

[Fla Dem]

121. Yes, only reason for criticism. Hypocrisy.

[Brother Buzz]

23. Note From FireBoebert.Com Team

This is all American Muckrakers PAC, making good on their promise



Note From FireBoebert.Com Team


We make no judgement about Boebert's abortions. That is her right as a woman in Colorado.

​

However, we are reporting on the unbelievable hypocrisy of her railing against women that want that same right. Boebert has consistently been against woman in Colorado and the entire country having the same rights to make their own healthcare decisions.

​

In addition, we don't take a position about the propriety of being a paid escort and respect any men or women that choose this career. However, escorts are regulated in Colorado and must register under state law. We have searched and requested to see her registration without success. If Boebert has an escort registration we will correct our story and apologize to Boebert. However, we aren't holding our breath.

​

Finally, no one at Planned Parenthood or any other medical practice anywhere provided Boebert's medical records or violated HIPAA rules. We did not consult with or receive any tips from any medical providers, staff, admins, technicians, etc. Nor did we hack or receive any medical records or obtain any information in such a way that would violate any Colorado or U.S. laws. We have never seen any of Boebert's medical records.

​

All the facts came from a source we trust and others on our team know. We verified the abortion claims with another source. We stand by our story. We've not seen nor heard anything that would refute our allegations. If we do, we'll let you know.

26. Hard to suck in that beer belly

[gldstwmn]

36. Is that really her? Honestly she has never looked attractive to me. But I can see now that if that

is her, they gave her the Sarah Palin makeover with the glasses and dark hair.

[Mr.Bill]

137. Looks like someone who

would only love me for my meth.

[Mr.Bill]

138. I remember one night David Letterman

refered to Palin as a Lenscrafter ad running for office.

[efhmc]

16. I so do not care what Boebart does/did with her own body but I do abhor the hypocrisy of it

and of the GQP for which she is a loony spokesperson.

[Rebl2]

95. Same here

[dchill]

19. I think the "moral" of this story is not about sexual prostitution...

... It's about the Ted Cruz definition of "vetting."

[NCLefty]

25. I'm not sure this sinks her. Trump admitted to grabbing womens' genitals without consent.

And they didn't care! If they like your trash-talk, they will forgive almost anything. And she's fully on that train.

[sir pball]

38. Abortions sink Conservative women, same as gayness sinks men.

Sexual assault isn't even a sin to be overlooked - it's good and proper, an alpha male taking what he wants.

A woman getting an abortion or a man being gay (Muckrakers is the same group that ousted Cawthorn), well...some things are inexcusable to the GOP.

[Mariana]

116. Her fans will just refuse to believe it. nt.

[LeftInTX]

129. Maybe not in Colorado.

I think voters knew she sorta had "a past".

Her claim to fame is "gun slinging Barbie"

I don't think she's really made much of a pro-life stance/evangelical/church lady stance

[GoCubsGo]

49. You may be right.

They didn't care that Trump's wife is a former escort, either. Or, that there are salacious nude photos of her all over the Internet. Or, that he has likely paid for multiple abortions, and unsuccessfully encouraged his soon-to-be second wife to abort his younger daughter. If Madison Cawthorn had not spilled the beans on the Republican cocaine orgies, I dare say they'd have looked the other way on the video of him naked and griding on his male "cousin." I don't think Boebert has done or said anything that unforgivable, as of now.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

29. The party of "family values" strikes again

Free to do what they want in their own bedrooms and bodies, while telling the rest of us to "go to church!" and dictating our lives.

Hypocritical thugs, one and all. "Freedom for me, not for thee." "Family values for thee, not for me."

[bluestarone]

30. She will just say ("God told me he forgives me")

The whole CULT will believe her.

[KentuckyWoman]

32. If true. I don't care.

How a consenting adult makes a living with other consenting adults is fine with me. And someone's abortion is none of my business.

She is a hateful, liar already. Hypocrite to the core. This may be fun for circus purposes but does change anything.

[Kingofalldems]

33. Whoa! Trump fans in a tizzy over this one.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

62. When I see people essentially defending that lousy GQP, it reminds me

In the movie "All the President's Men", when Woodward and Bernstein screwed up, Deep Throat told them, "You got people feeling sorry for Haldeman, I didn't think that was possible". Getting the same feeling here with some of these responses

[BannonsLiver]

212. What you're seeing is the lack of Will to fight like they do

And to be as ruthless as they are because for some people here sanctimony and virtue signaling are more important than winning elections and keeping crazy hypocrites like Bobert out of office.

[gldstwmn]

35. I can't be mad at her for either of those things honestly. I understand people are trying to get

rid of her but this isn't the way to do it. There are so many other things.

[sir pball]

45. Did you feel the same way about Muckrakers outing Cawthorn?

I don't find either of their behaviors wrong, but if their base does to the extent that it can destroy their careers, I will gleefully cheer it on.

It's not the actions, it's the person. You wanna do sex work or stick your c*ck in your cousin's face? Cool cool - just don't literally prosecute others for doing the same.

[gldstwmn]

59. I think you mean persecute? I was not interested

in Madison Cawthorn's video. I felt the same way about him.
Outing women who have had abortions is ugly. I get that she is pro life.
The problem I have is that the consequences of such actions almost always seem to fall on the women while tomorrow is just another day for the men.

[sir pball]

71. No, I mean prosecute.

As in the criminalization of abortion or gay sex. Boebert wants to see people in jail for either of the above, this is hardly a secret.

Your moral issues are noted. I'll consider you a conscientious objector in this war for the literal future of democracy.

[BlackSkimmer]

83. Lol.

Funny.

[Quixote1818]

119. Your eloquence and wit here is legendary. LOL

[gldstwmn]

134. Yes because the republic is going to be saved by outing the hypocrisy of Lauren Boebert.

Golf claps.

[sir pball]

139. If it turns her supporters against her, which I believe it will

What's the downside? We get an even more extreme clown? I'm not sure that's possible.

Regardless, any critical damage to my enemy is acceptable.

[Effete Snob]

149. Then they will vote for a different Republican

This was published before the primary to replace her with another R.

[Cozmo]

88. The point that is being made is her blatant hypocrisy is on display, nothing more.

[Wingus Dingus]

39. A woman who wants to take away the right to abortion

for all other women, has herself benefitted from that same right? Fire away. Baffled at people who think she now deserves privacy, if she supports overturning Roe V Wade, which was about...privacy. Fuck her. Fight dirty like a Republican, or lose elections and our country to nut jobs like Boebert.

[dalton99a]

41. Precisely.

One side is fighting to win at all costs, with zero concern for limits or parameters

And the other side reverts to navel-gazing in the face of any conflict

[Polybius]

175. What if she changed her mind for the worst?

It's not really hypocrisy if she had an abortion at 18, then became pro-life 10 years later. What if someone used to own assault weapons in 2004, and now supports a ban?

[alphafemale]

43. So you decided it was not her choice?

And her privacy should not be respected?

Where is your bar for not respecting medical privacy and HIPAA?

[sir pball]

46. Nothing about that woman should be respected.

You may not wish to become a monster in order to fight monsters, but with the stakes of this battle…some of us will. I support Muckrakers 100%.

They didn't violate any medical privacy laws, BTW. The info didn't come from anyone covered by HIPPA or any other privacy law.

[alphafemale]

57. So her freedom of choice should not be respected and her abortions should be shamed?

I don't like her either. And she is dangerous.

I just wonder where your line might be for violating privacy about a right we are suppose to respect?

This is going zilch difference to her supporters, and might gain support because our side is now being hypocrites as to reproductive right privacy.

[sir pball]

67. When she respects others' freedom of choice I will respect hers.

My line? That...young lady (ugh, I'm 8 years her senior) started the fight with us. I have three rules for fighting, taught by my sensei — 1. Do not ever start a fight. 2. Always be ready to end a fight. 3. There are no further rules.

I will respect her rights when she respects my wife's rights. Until that time, see Rule 3.

Remember when Larry Craig went down? Hell, remember just recently when Muckrakers outed Cawthorn and sank him? Did you have an issue with weaponizing their gayness against them? I assure you, if she was allowing herself to be impregnated for cash and then killing off the babies her supporters will not be forgiving, and to that end I will cheerfully admit I have no moral obstacles.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you think we should do. Be prim and respectful and morally superior, denounce her as a Bad Person and urge her base to vote against her because...why, exactly? As I said, you may not be willing to become a monster to fight these monsters…but somebody needs to be. We couldn't have beaten the Nazis without Stalin.

[Diablo del sol]

90. So her supporters who want to restrict all rights to abortion

Are going to forgive her and blame Dems? Bring it on.

Another astonishing show of hypocrisy.

Dems believe the right to chose. Her being outed shows she believes her right to chose but not for others.

Tough fucking shit for her and her supporters.

Bang Bang Boebert, Late term Lauren. I don’t give two turds what names she gets called. It is her hypocritical stances. As for her supporters, too fucking bad. They get it shoved into their faces. Anyone still supporting Repukes is a lost cause. Only way to beat them is to make fun of them. Some will not vote.

[Mariana]

114. HIPAA only applies to medical personnel.

If Boebert told anyone else that she had two abortions, they are free to repeat what she told them.

[JI7]

123. Does she support abortion rights for others ? If not then her hypocrisy should

be a HUGE issue.

[Kid Berwyn]

44. Such a promising career.

SugarDaddyMeet.com, eh?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

47. Who gives a shit? She's a toxic dangerous rep no matter what she's done.

[BlackSkimmer]

50. Nah, people on a roll here.

Making fun of weight, tattoos, tshirt choices…DU is not what it used to be.

Funny thing, how so many here always talk about not “punching down”, but when it comes to people with poor dentition, or who live in trailers, or aren’t educated, or are overweight,, or live in Appalachia….hey the door is wide open for the good old punch down!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

55. No MoRe pLaYiNg NiCe!!1!!!!!111111111!!

[BlackSkimmer]

60. Lol, well done.

[XanaDUer2]

58. Thank you! Nt

[BlackSkimmer]

61. I've been here a long time, but wow, not much sure how much longer.

I take lots of breaks.

Today has been a bonza day for DU!

[XanaDUer2]

65. I saw the 400-lb thread

Please stay

[BlackSkimmer]

82. Ah, I leave, but always come back. Many, many good people here.

They way outnumber the ones that aren’t. Thanks for being one of the good ones!

[XanaDUer2]

84. Awww

[TwilightZone]

68. That's really nothing new.

I've been here since the early, early days. There have been posts like that as long as DU has been around.

I'm not even sure it's gotten worse of late -- it's always been here. "We" love a good (bad) stereotype as much as anyone.

[JI7]

182. Boebert owns a Restaurant and is a member of Congress . You attack Meghan Markle

who isn't even in political office. But get defensive about the trash Boebert . Interesting .

[Just_Vote_Dem]

63. K&R

[Kingofalldems]

64. Kick this thread all night long.

[Kingofalldems]

66. So did Cruz sleep with her?

[Just_Vote_Dem]

69. Well, he got her 126K for something n/t

[dalton99a]

75. After fervent prayer

[paleotn]

86. An old saying about bears, poo and woods comes to mind.

[kacekwl]

87. I don't understand the concern for MS Boebert. Here's a woman who

will out, shame and publicize a woman who finds herself in the same position she did in a NY second if it benefits her in any way. This woman is evil and gets no crocodile tears from me.

[Marthe48]

91. I don't like to see abortion used as a litmus test for character

Abortion is a legitimate medical tool that is under threat of being denied to women, which is going to cause women to die. If boebert had abortions, call her on her hypocrisy (she walked through a door other women opened for her, and she is slamming it shut on the women coming behind her) but not that she had abortions. This is the same hypocrisy that phyllis schafly practiced - as she worked full time for money writing her opinion that women shouldn't have jobs outside of the home. F**k all the hypocrites and women killers.

[Mariana]

111. Abortion isn't being used as a litmus test for character.

Hypocrisy is being used as a litmus test for character.

[Joinfortmill]

92. WTF?

[Orrex]

94. Won't make a lick of difference to her kkkultists

In fact, they'll come in greater numbers and passionately thrust her into another term so that she can maintain her position.

[Mr. Evil]

96. These are the special people.

You know them. They're the 'laws for thee, none for me' crowd. To them and their voters they want to live in the Biff Tannen States of America. Lies, hypocrisy, money and power. That's the extent of the meaning of life to these human garbage cans.

[KatK]

98. Let's not discriminate against sex workers and people who have sought abortion care. n/t

[nvme]

99. pLEASE TELl me its not an Onion article!

It is time to dance'

[MineralMan]

101. I don't like this content on DU.

Not one bit. Attack her current egregious behavior as much as you like, but this crap doesn't belong here, IMO.

[kcr]

106. Too bad

How is her hypocrisy not egregious? Block posts about abortion and Boebert if you don't like it.

[MineralMan]

108. I'm posting my opinion.

I will continue to do so, as I see fit.

[kcr]

113. Same goes for those pointing out hypocricy

I find the attempts to shut people up disturbing.

[Effete Snob]

148. Why do you want to keep the seat R?

Do you realize this was published before the R primary there?

Let that sink in.

[kcr]

151. How is that even a little bit relevant?

She is no less a hypocrite. In fact, if this is right-wingers eating their own? I say bring it on! More, please. I am truly baffled at the attempts to defend her while trying to shut up those who are rightfully and correctly pointing out what a hypocrite she is.

[Effete Snob]

153. No one is defending her

This was timed before the primary to help her Republican opponent, who will be a more effective candidate.

This was not done to help Democrats, or it would have been held until after the primary.

But some people can’t see more than an inch in front of their damned nose.

[kcr]

154. The attempts to shame those pointing out her hypocricy

Are a defense of her, whether you intend it that way or not. She is a hypocrite. That is a fact. There is no reason to pretend otherwise.

[Effete Snob]

155. This was designed to help Republicans

But I guess that’s okay with some.

[kcr]

157. Are you trying to imply that pro choice Dems

Designed this whole thing to help Republicans and pro-lifers? If not, then you aren't making any sense. Why should we leap to her defense just because it was another Republican who pointed out her hypocrisy? Let them eat each other. If another Republican was stupid enough to use this tactic, then nothing should stop us from taking advantage of that own-goal.

[CrackityJones75]

163. I suppose perhaps we may get a less evil repub?

If she isn’t the R candidate there is the potential that we may get an R that isn’t such a loonball in case we lose?


Dunno. Just thinking here.

[Effete Snob]

165. Like...?

There was a time that might have been true, but Republicans are a different animal these days.

There’s no Arlen Spector or Olympia Snowe looking for jobs on that side anymore.

Hundreds of them in Congress and only two would join the J6 committee.

[CrackityJones75]

168. Maybe but as you say this is a republican going after her.

They may be looking to remove some of these nutjobs. If we don’t win the seat I for sure would be happier to deal with someone a little less horrible than her.

[CrackityJones75]

169. Also there were more than two willing to join J6

The others just happened to possibly be targets of that investigation or so foul that they didn’t make the cut.

[gldstwmn]

142. Thank you. I am getting a whiff of toxic masculinity in this thread. Do better DU.

[jmbar2]

160. Thank you

We need to stick to the high road. Her abortion is nobody's business. Everything else is fair game.

[CrackityJones75]

164. Her Hypocrisy is fair game.

That is the point.

[ZonkerHarris]

170. Maybe this is egregious behavior to her voters

[multigraincracker]

102. If everyone laid their cards on the table...

no one could run for any office. Thats why I say disqualify anyone that wants to run.

[Zeitghost]

104. DU:

Where misogyny is okay, sometimes...

[gldstwmn]

143. Yup.

[appmanga]

107. I'm waiting...

...for her to sue. If she doesn't, that's evidence this is all absolutely true.

[harumph]

109. If this is factual and verifiable, it is absolutely fine

to use it against LB. The point being her hypocrisy. That's the core of it because you can bet
the house that MANY republican women who are more than willing to take away choice for
their sisters, have had abortions themselves. There's no shame whatsoever in an abortion, but there
should be shame in eliminating choice for women when you're unwilling to abide by those
restrictions yourself. That is the real elitism.

[MustLoveBeagles]

115. Agreed

However I'm not jumping on the bandwagon until it's verified by a reputable source.

[Quixote1818]

125. Yep, if Republicans can jump all over Al Gore for flying in a jet and contributing to climate change

as being hypocritical, we can jump all over Boebert for trying to take away the right to abortion for hundreds of millions while thinking it's just dandy for her to do it. Not to mention maybe "some" of her supporters will want to know this since they think Abortion and prostitution is evil and their favorite candidate lied to them and is actually an evil sinner? How this isn't fair game to some on DU absolutely blows my mind.

[not fooled]

117. She gives "Whoring for the Kochs"

a whole new meaning.

[gldstwmn]

147. Yes let's all just take this opportunity to have a resounding go at the whores.

[Tarc]

124. Let's remember that sex work is legitimate work

And demonizing sex workers is the hallmark of Christofascist bigots.

The problem with Boebert's sex work is her hypocrisy.

[Mr.Bill]

133. She was refered to as an "unlicensed" escort.

If there is a license required to do that sort of work in Colorado and she didn't have one, then her work wasn't legitimate.

[Tarc]

140. "Legitimate" as in it is real work and should be respected

I have no comment on nor to I care about whether a SW has paid her municipal fees or not.

[Mr.Bill]

145. Would you respect a school bus driver's work

if they had no license? Woiuld you buy a car from a car dealership that had no license? Would you respect the work they do unlicensed? I've had jobs that required a license. It never occured to me to do it without one. One thing about a state or federal license, even if all it requires is to pay a fee, is that it can be taken away from you if you break the law in the process of doing your work.

[gldstwmn]

150. Do you think mothers are legitimate?

No license required. I anxiously await your thoughtful response.

[Mr.Bill]

152. Stupid question completely irrelevant

to the subject at hand. No one is required to have a license to be a mother.

Consider this the end to our conversation. Go defend Lauren Boebert all you want.

[gldstwmn]

156. It is also a job for which there is no license and it is legitimate work.

It's why women who raise children at home for the duration of their marriage are paid out in divorce settlements.
Have a nice evening.

[CrackityJones75]

167. Presumably there is a need for a license.

Being licensed usually means you have to adhere to standards and usually in the interest of the public. As it was brought up I will comment on the bus driver license since I am one. I am required to undergo drug testing, skills testing, medical testing and a hole bunch of other stuff to ensure that I am providing safe work for the clients I serve.

A sex worker who is required to be licensed woukd need to do much of that same. I am quite sure you coukd see the importance of that.

In the case of being a mother I do not see where the need for a license would be required… However, you can see the distinction when compared to a daycare center or a foster care facility which provide many (if not to the same efficacy) of the same care to the kids. They usually need to be licensed and ensured or at least the facilities usually do.

So yes her legitimacy of being a licensed worker may be in question if it is required.

With all of this being said her hypocrisy is absolutely fair game.

[Tarc]

205. A woman doesn't need a license to fuck, bro

Take the L on this tangent and move on.

[Mr.Bill]

209. She needs one in the state of Colorado to be an escort.

And if she's paid to fuck she is breaking the law.

[Bettie]

141. If true it is the most benign and human

thing about her.

[gldstwmn]

158. The tweet has been deleted.

[UnderThisLaw]

159. I'm suspicious of this story

I don’t believe anyone would pay for Boebert’s companionship

[crickets]

162. It's the hypocrisy that gets to me. GRR

The trouble is, Republicans do not, by and large, care about the hypocrisy of their representatives. Sadly, they just don't seem to care as long as those reps are saying what the crowd wants to hear right now. She says what they want to hear, day in and day out. Sad but true, the crazy performative behavior that Democrats find repulsive apparently plays very well with the MAGA base.

Now driving drunk - that might have some legs, especially since she bailed out of the ATV leaving family (including her own son and the dog) in the car to potentially die. That one might get the family values crowd to sit up and take notice if it could get into the news cycle for longer than 10 seconds.

[Blue Owl]

166. Boe vs. Wade

[iemanja]

171. Evidently her husband did jail time for indecent exposure

And she was there at the time. They were coming on to two young women. Boebert herself was only 17 at the time. https://www.salon.com/2021/08/31/lauren-boeberts-husband-did-jail-time-for-lewd-exposure-in-a-bowling-alley-she-was-there/

Here she says Antifa made her husband do it. https://extranewsfeed.com/lauren-boebert-claimed-antifa-was-behind-her-husbands-penis-exposure-to-female-minors-832f776359e3

[femmedem]

204. He did do jail time for indecent exposure but the Antifa part is satire.

It says so at the end of the article.

[iemanja]

206. Ah, ok

[gldstwmn]

173. Here is a tweet from the same source of this info:

Link to tweet

?s=20&t=N5ODLWjrNPgBDdl1fHG-1Q

In that Tweet you see Boebert's Republican opponent endorsed. Where do you see them endorsing the Dems running in that district or any mention of them? Did they mention any of the Dems that were running for Cawthorn's seat? Further, Boebert's opponent voted against Colorado HB 1279 Reproductive Health Equity Act which was signed into law by Governor Jared Polis anyway.
FWIW the Democrats running for Boebert's seat are Sol Sandoval, Adam Frisch and Alex Walker.

[herding cats]

190. I don't think anyone is confused as to who American Muckraker PAC is.

It's a Republican PAC whose goal is to oust some of the worst in their party.

They're an enemy of our enemy but not a friend.

"We" didn't do this and and bear no responsibility here.

Personally, I'm going to stock up on popcorn while they continue to eviscerate their own. The American Muckrackers apparently isn't going to pull any punches against their targets.

Obligatory disclaimer: Being a sex worker isn't bad. Having an abortion isn't bad. Boebert isn't bad for having done so herself. If she were a Dem it would hold much less sway against her. She is however bad for being a hypocrite and pretending she's better than those who have engaged in those actions.

The rest is up to the Republicans voters in her district to sort out.

[herding cats]

192. Wow. When Republicans go after their own they don't hold back.

It looks like Reagan's 11th commandment is officially dead, buried and the flower urn is now being used as urinal.

[Polybius]

197. I was nearly certain that I saw Lauren Boebert on PornHub two months ago

Turns out it was Dava Foxx, unless that's her alter ego name.

[PCIntern]

203. Not even close...

But I virtually guarantee you that there’s a sextape somewhere.

[Polybius]

211. I did a search for Lauren Boebert Dava Foxx

Others have asked if they are the same person. Of course they are two different people, but I see a strong resemblance.

As for the sex tape, probably. At the very least nude pics.

[Hotler]

207. She must of sucked at that also. She's no politician. nt

[Kingofalldems]

208. Keep on kickin' this one.

[BannonsLiver]

213. So if true she's both a prostitute (whore) and a hypocrite.
