Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) sparked a slush of ridicule after she angrily complained that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is ignoring her while she ranted about Mexican immigrants on the House floor.
During a House session, Boebert directly addressed Speaker Pelosi, demanding that she “lift your head and pay attention” as she spoke.
“Maybe that’s too much trouble to ask of you, Madam Speaker. But we are here talking about real issues that are impacting America and you still continue to sit and ignore what I’m saying,” Boebert said.
“I think that’s very reflective of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who have ignored what’s going on at the southern border, who have ignored the children who are being trafficked by cartels, who have smuggled in enough fentanyl to kill every American at least seven times over.”
“Madam Speaker, let the record show that you still have not glanced up one time to acknowledge this humanitarian crisis that is taking place in our country,” she complained.
As noted by The Independent, “The issue of migrants crossing the Mexican border into the US has been weaponized by the GOP as a way to critique President Joe Biden’s wider domestic policies.”
“On his very first day in office, Biden signed an executive order which all but ended federal building efforts of former President Donald Trump’s wall across the Southern border. Further to this, President Biden has also scrapped a number of draconian Trump-era immigration policies in favor of a more humane process,” the newspaper stated.

Awwww! Did little @laurenboebert have a spontaneous meltdown because not all eyes were on her? Well, if she attended a REAL school like the rest of us, she would know that the teacher doesn’t always make eye contact with a student who’s speaking. The teacher will scan the room.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. Bobo literally tweeted out Pelosi’s position during the insurrection. I wouldn’t acknowledge her or her nonsensical floor speech either.

Funny because for the last two years Lauren Boebert has been ignoring her own constituents.
I'm the Democrat running against her. Chip in, RT, and help me deliver real results for #CO3. https://t.co/0h8K4idG5f
