9 of Lauren Boebert's Most Ridiculous, Hateful Tweets

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado is notorious for fueling anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. She is all in on the big lie that former President Donald Trump was the victim of a stolen election and has shown herself as an insurrectionist sympathizer. Boebert seemingly revels in the discomfort of marginalized people as she gleefully goes on the attack with the right-wing "groomer" label. She saves some of her more dark attacks for consumption on Twitter.

Check out some of the most insidious tweets from the Republican congresswoman below.

One of Boebert's frequently used tactics is framing matters in the "us versus them" context. In this tweet from August 11, Boebert implements the use of a dog whistle, calling in essence for her supporters to prepare to arm themselves in defense of their views because, as she indicates, a point of no return may have been reached. 

Republicans have a love-hate relationship with social media companies. On the one hand, they use mainstream social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook to rile up their droves of followers, while on the other hand, they criticize the platforms that allow them to spout mostly unbridled vitriol when one of the private companies that provide these services implements accountability measures for extra hateful content. Boebert is among the right-wing politicians whose online antics have earned them temporary suspensions. 

Republicans are terrified of parts of speech. Pronouns, to be exact. And in particular, it's he, she, and they. As though one were using a slur, Republicans recoil at using preferred pronouns in all aspects of life. Now school boards are starting to implement policies that forbid teachers to indicate which pronouns they prefer to be addressed by in their email signatures. 

Resistant to change and progress, Boebert tweeted about Democrats changing the definitions of things.  Here Boebert makes a veiled reference to an issue Republicans have been obsessed with this summer: the definition of a woman. Of course, Republicans are not confused as to what defines a woman. Instead, they use the "What is a woman?" question to erase and delegitimize trans people, which appears to be one of the right wing's main political missions.
