Democrat Colleges Lauren Boebert In Awkward Home Ground Debate

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) faltered when pressed to clarify her proposed modification to a spending invoice by veteran Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.).

Her proposed modification to the monetary providers and common authorities appropriations invoice would prohibit “the use of funds made available by this act to be used to provide financial assistance to sanctuary cities.”

“I rise in perplexion,” Hoyer stated throughout Home flooring debate, asking the far-right firebrand to clarify “what funds in this bill are used for the purposes that you are opposed to?”

Boebert paused and conferred with an aide, earlier than responding: “Sorry, I couldn’t hear, gentleman. I was getting clarification. This is precautionary.”

“Precautionary for what?” Hoyer requested.

Boebert launched right into a spiel about “sanctuary city policies that are in place that are allowing the refuge of illegal aliens in this, and there is an influx of crime and drugs in these cities.” (Sanctuary cities are a frequent goal of GOP politicians, though there’s not a set definition for the time period. Previous analysis signifies that sanctuary insurance policies haven’t led to a rise in crime.)

“I understand that,” Hoyer replied, “but what you’ve said — none of the funds in this bill can be spent for that objective.”

“What funds are in this bill that are to be spent for this objective?” he requested.

Boebert didn’t reply instantly, saying, “I have seen this administration use all sorts of funds to protect illegal aliens.”

“Reclaiming my time. There are no funds in this bill to do that,” Hoyer shot again. “So this is just an opportunity for you to stand and perhaps speak about an important subject, I understand that. But there are no funds in this bill to accomplish that objective.”

Boebert is thought for her weird, attention-seeking theatrics in Congress, on-line and elsewhere.
