Far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert is being mocked after calling so-called patriots to be “bold” while listing a series of absurd things they should be prepared to do in the name of what she claimed was patriotism.
“I will do what’s right. I don’t care if it costs me an election,” the Colorado Republican said during a speech at a Texas rally this week. “I don’t care if the school principal gets mad at me or the county commissioners get upset at me, or if the flight attendant kicks me off the plane.”
“I will do what’s right and answer the call because without righteous men and women, without patriots taking a stand for this country, our children, and our children’s children will not benefit the blessings of America,” she added.
Critics on Twitter ripped the extremist lawmaker’s comments as “unhinged” and slammed her as “irresponsible for encouraging people to act up during air travel.
Boebert’s 2024 Democratic challenger Adam Frisch, meanwhile, noted his rival was neither in her home state nor in Washington amid rising alarm over the GOP’s debt ceiling demands.
See her speech and some of the reactions below.

She's not in Colorado, and looks like she slipped out of DC and the debt ceiling negotiations to hang out in Texas.#WheresBoebert#AllHatNoCattle https://t.co/nnBDjmnoOW

Lauren Boebert screamed her head off telling her MAGA "patriots" to "take a stand" and be "bold" with flight attendants, even if it means getting kicked off a plane.
Violence seems to be OK with this fool.
Take note @SpeakerMcCarthy
Unless you are OK with this behavior ?

By bold patriots I assume she means annoying dicks like the ones who are rotting in a jail cell because of their bold patriotism of January 6th. https://t.co/m4CzAv8M7a

Glad she's fueling up fines for the FAA. People need to know acting up on a plane can be a very expensive mistake.

While you’re at it, tell them it’s ok if TSA finds a gun in their carryon bag because, you know, Second Amendment. Let’s see how that goes…
