For a few weeks Rep. Lauren Boebert was merely our Congressional District’s embarrassment, making cheesy videos of herself pretending to parade around Washington with a pistol strapped to her thigh.
When she voted against the Electoral College certification of the presidential election, she made herself a threat to our democracy, perhaps without having any real understanding of why this might be the case. We will surely have to put up with more of her attention-seeking antics in the months to come, but we should never forget that her first significant vote was to disenfranchise millions of American citizens.
The work begins now to find a qualified, serious individual to replace her in two years.
