American Values
Boebert Goes Beast Mode
Yesterday, House Democrats formally censured Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona for posting a cartoon of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being attacked with a sword. I'm not going to defend the cartoon. But while most Americans would appreciate more civility in politics, Democrats went overboard by stripping Gosar of his committee posts.
During the intense debate on the censure resolution, many Republicans warned that Democrats are driven only by partisanship since Gosar isn't the first Republican they have stripped of their committee assignments.
Rep. Lauren Boebert listed several Democrats who have not been punished but could easily be punished by a future GOP majority for their offenses.
She referred to "Jihad Squad" member Ilhan Omar, who has made numerous anti-Semitic statements. She called out "Mad Maxine" Waters for her repeated incitement to mob violence. And Boebert also reminded the American people that a Democrat member of the House Intelligence Committee "slept with Fang Fang, a Chinese spy."
And, yes, Speaker Nancy Pelosi allowed Rep. Eric Swalwell to stay on the Intelligence Committee. Not very intelligent if you ask me.
