This is what qualifies as the Republican congressperson these days.    Someone who proudly uses slurs against minorities for laughs and preens over it.    She is like a kid who was unliked until she attacked a kid who also was unliked a bit more than her.   She is smug and happy, not realizing her new friends will abandon her as soon as she is not useful for hitting down at others.   These people on the right today don’t even pretend to like civility, decency, being nice or kind to others.    Everything they demand for themselves, they delight in denying for everyone else.   Thugs and childish bullies are now members of congress.   Plus she is always pushing her Christian religious views along with her ignorance of biology and hate for sex education in schools.   She had to leave school because she was pregnant as a young teen and her teen son also impregnated a young teen, now we find out she is getting a divorce along with all the members of her family being heavy drinkers.    Very good Christians?  No she is entitled white trash that got a golden ticket by using her body and hateful attacks on minorities.    Hugs

After years of attacking LGBTQ+ people – often without much skill – Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has decided to just use slurs now.

“There’s wokism in the corporate world,” she said at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver over the weekend.

Her claim that Bud Light lost $27 billion in revenue due to their sponsorship of a 50-second Instagram video by trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney is wrong in multiple ways. First, she is referring to Anheuser-Bucsh’s market value, not revenue earned specifically by Bud Light. Bud Light is owned by Anheuser-Busch, which owns many popular beer brands in the U.S.

Second, the reason for the drop in market value can’t be pinned on the video with Dylan Mulvaney; there are many forces affecting the company’s market value and no reason to ignore all of them except for the Instagram video. Even the timing is off; the market value of Anheuser-Busch started dropping in mid-May, a month and a half after rightwingers started boycotting Bud Light because of the April 1 video.
