Lauren Boebert

Rep. Lauren Boebert is back in the news but this time, she seemingly dragged Dave Chappelle into a moment he probably didn’t expect or ask for. In a now-deleted X reply, the Colorado congresswoman took a cheap shot at the trans community.
Dave Chappelle was in Washington this week to perform and ahead of his set, he took a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus on Thursday (November 30) according to Punchbowl News.
Boebert was heard on a video shared to X asking for a photo as he was appearing heading out to leave. Boebert and Florida congresswoman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna are seen in the photo with the caption reading, “Just three people who know there are only two genders” — a clear attempt to push a transphobic agenda on the heels of Chappelle’s older material many deemed harmful.
In a video from reporter Kyle Stewart, Chappelle explained his visit to Capitol Hill as catching up with some old friends of his. Chappelle is a native of the Washington Metropolitan Area and has deep ties in the community despite residing in Ohio.
It isn’t known why Rep. Lauren Boebert deleted the tweet but we’re guessing the transphobia had a least a little to do with it.

If the beef (or non-beef?) between Anita Baker and Babyface wasn’t on your 2023 Bingo card, wait until you hear about the ongoing feud between GOP Reps Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. Apparently, the Dumb and Dumber duo has gone from heckling the president together to having it out on the House floor Wednesday because Majorie Taylor Greene thinks Lauren Boebert copied her homework while drafting arbitrary articles of impeachment for President Joe Biden.
From the Daily Beast:
The angry exchange came as the two lawmakers have been swiping at each other over their competing resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden. But tensions came to a head on Wednesday after Boebert leveraged a procedural tool to force a vote on her own impeachment resolution within days—undercutting Greene, who had offered her own resolution, but not with the procedural advantages of forcing a vote.
Greene apparently cursed out Boebert while the House was voting Wednesday afternoon, as the two spoke in a center aisle of the House floor; part of their interaction was captured on C-SPAN’s cameras.
According to two of the sources, Greene then stood up and alleged that Boebert “copied my articles of impeachment,” to which the Colorado lawmaker fired back that she hadn’t even read Greene’s resolution.
In fact, not only did the two nearly get into a KKKaren catfight on the House floor, but Greene was heard calling Boebert a “little b*tch” to her face.
“I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little b*tch to me,” Greene told Boebert, according to one source who was present during the altercation. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”
Greene and Boebert both appeared to confirm that the exchange happened. In fact, Greene even repeated the expletive she called Boebert during a separate interview.
“She has genuinely been a nasty little b*tch to me,” Greene told Semafor. “I told her exactly what I think about her.”
Meanwhile, Boebert appeared to be trying to take the high road when she told the Daily Beast that Greene is “not my enemy.”
“I came here to protect our children and their posterity,” she said. “Joe Biden and the Democrats are destroying our country. My priorities are to correct their bad policies and save America.” (Somebody should probably tell her you can’t impeach a president just because you don’t like their policies, but whatever.)
Boebert also told CNN, “I’m not in middle school,” despite her and Greene’s public behavior consistently indicating otherwise, and the fact that Greene appears to have done a terrible job of folding her arms over her paper so Boebert couldn’t cheat off of her.
Just sayin’.
