Rep. Boebert Takes a Flamethrower to Censure Motion
18 Nov 2021
CLAY: We talked yesterday about the House debating whether or not to censure a Republican member who shares an anime video that had everybody all in a tizzy — and I gotta say, this was a flamethrower from Congresswoman Lauren Boebert who said basically: If you’re gonna come after our guys, I am going to (laughing) absolutely burn down your village.
If you haven’t heard this clip, listen to her on the House floor yesterday. Again, they’re debating whether or not to censure a Republican congressperson. And so she said, “Hey, let’s run through the list of all the things recently…” You’ll know who she’s talking about here without being able to say them by name, ’cause I think, Buck, in Congress you’re not supposed to attack people by name. So she’s just sharing some of the factual details surrounding them. Get your popcorn and listen to this.
BOEBERT: Since the speaker has designated the floor to discuss members’ inappropriate actions, shall we? The jihad squad member from Minnesota has paid her husband — and not her brother-husband, the other one — over a million dollars in campaign funds. This member is allowed on the Foreign Affairs Committee while praising terrorists! And then the cherry on top. My colleague — and three-month presidential candidate from California — who is on the Intelligence Committee slept with Fang Fang, a Chinese spy. This is unacceptable!

BUCK: Wow.
CLAY: (laughing) Oh-ho, Buck.
BUCK: She’s bringing Fang Fang into things here.
CLAY: Oh my goodness.
BUCK: Damn! This is… Woo!
CLAY: Don’t mess with the congresswoman from Colorado, Buck. She’s not bringing a knife to a gunfight. He’s bringing the AK.
BUCK: She is feisty over this one. I don’t know if you saw, there was then Ilhan Omar —
CLAY: Oh, she’s fired up.
BUCK: — slapped at Boebert on Twitter and made some comment. We could find it in a second, but it was essentially Ilhan Omar saying, you know, fortunately my family raised me right or something like that. And then there were a lot of blue check comments about the whole allegation of the marrying of the brother as an immigration scam thing. So things are getting a little —
CLAY: Feisty?
BUCK: — a little feisty in the congressional world right now, I gotta say. That’s definitely happening. And look, if you’re somebody who is watching the Democrats right now and you’re hoping that they’re gonna come up with some kind of narrative of success, I think you’re gonna be very disappointed. So it’s gonna get personal. They’re gonna go on offense and you’re gonna hear a lot about how Republicans don’t have the decorum and they’re insurrectionists and Trumpists and all this stuff, because what else are they gonna say?
CLAY: Oh, they don’t like when they get popped back. We talked about this before: Everybody’s got a plan ’til they get punched in the mouth. She punched some people in the mouth there.
