Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert, of Colorado, is facing calls for her arrest after being accused of live-tweeting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) location during the deadly takeover of the U.S. Capitol Hill this past Wednesday.
Boebert, a gun-toting Q-Anon fan, fired off a tweet saying “The Speaker has been removed from the chambers” as Trump supporters rampaged through the hallways of Congress.
“Today is 1776,” she declared in another tweet.
Twitter users responded by calling on the FBI to arrest Boebert for aiding and abetting those who were hunting down the House Speaker and for the Colorado Republican to be removed from Congress.
Read Boebert’s tweet and some of the responses below.
The Speaker has been removed from the chambers.

@FBIWFO please arrest @laurenboabert for aiding and abetting those who were hunting down @SpeakerPelosi on Jan, 6th by tweeting the Speaker's whereabouts.
She's 5ft tall, 100 pounds and carries a Glock (and won't stop telling everyone).

You can't get more explicit than that.
Expulsion of Boebart is only the start. Indictment has to follow quickly.— Gary Kleier (@gjkleier) January 10, 2021
That is not complicit, that is accessory to attempted murder!

She was totally hyped up while spewing her objections just minutes before this erupted. I was watching and I even tweeted at that time asking who she was yelling at. Her behavior is very suspicious. She was definitely playing her part in this attack.

She wanted to meet personally with the @FBI

I went to her feed because I didn’t believe this was real – yep it’s still there
