Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert, of Colorado, finally held a virtual town hall on Thursday night, and… well, it didn’t go as she expected.

“Thank you so much, I’m so excited to speak with you congresswoman,” Carrie began. “Just a couple things, first: your incendiary tweets have not addressed the 53,000 cases of COVID in District 3, nor have they addressed the 900 deaths in our district — it’s disgraceful.

“I want to address COVID relief,” the lawmaker inserted before launching into a discussion on “targeted relief” and vaccine availability and ignoring the questions about her tweets as well as those of the controversial Georgia lawmaker who was stripped of her committee assignments on Thursday by House members.
At the fifteen-minute mark, she was asked by a caller identifying herself as “Nicole” where she would like to be incarcerated after being tried for treason, which received a curt “Next question,” from Boebert.
