Speaker 1: And speaking of bullies. How about we go over to Lauren Boebert right now?
Lauren Boebert this week sent a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete booted edge,
begging him for $33 million to construct a new bridge in her district, a new bridge that she
says is going to help with evacuations. It's going to help with emergency vehicles because, you know,
Colorado has a lot of wildfires. And Boebert says, look, we get you got this money from the
infrastructure bill. We would love for you to, you know, come and spend this $33 million on a
new bridge. People need it. People could die without it, honestly. All good points, right?
But the irony here, of course, is that Lauren Boebert has spent the last year mocking.
Pete Moody judges sexuality. Yeah. When he took paternity leave. She went on national
media and said he's probably learning how to chest feed. You've mocked his husband.
You've mocked everything about this man. You have blamed him for things that are not even his fault.
And now you have the audacity. To look up to him and say, hey, how about 33 million over here for
a new bridge for my district? So I don't, you know, get creamed in my election. I kind of
need to do something for these people because I've done nothing. So would you help me out?
Now. I will say she should not be punished just because she is a horrible person. Now rephrase
that her constituents should not be punished just because they sent a horrible person to Congress.
They have the opportunity to right that wrong. Actually, I think it's coming up next week. Right.
They got that primary. Don Corum, the Republican running against her. You've got Democrats
that have switched from being Democrats to registered either independents or Republicans
so they can go vote against Lauren Boebert in that primary.
Like there is this massive, concerted effort to get this individual out of office.
And it's because she's a horrible person. And for the Republicans. In her district.
It's because she's completely ineffective. That's why she's sending this last minute
pitch to boot a judge. Yeah. That's why she's pretending that she hasn't spent the last year
basically calling him a horrible person because he's not a straight white man.
She needs that $33 million bridge to be able to show her constituents, yes,
I may do crazy things sometimes, but hey, look, I delivered for you. And unfortunately,
they do need the bridge. And I personally do not believe. In abusing political power.
You know, just to make an individual pay, you know, just to punish a political rival.
That's not okay. You know, just ask Chris Christie in Bridgegate,
something everybody forgot about a scandal that honestly today probably wouldn't even be a scandal
considering the scandals we see these days. But again, it's the same thing with Marjorie
Taylor. GREENE You can't spend your whole life just being a horrible person to everybody you
come in contact with and then expect them to be nice to you. I mean, this is basic, you know,
growing up type stuff, your mother's, your father. Is anybody any kind of,
you know, adult figure in your life should have taught you this when you were young children.
You get back what you put in. I know my mother told me that a million times. She'll still tell
me that to this day. And that's not saying that you have to sit there and suffer the
slings and arrows of everyone coming after you. You can stand up for yourself. Absolutely. But
there's a difference between standing up for yourself and being an outright bully,
which is what people like Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor GREENE have become
