'You gotta be crazy!' Boebert returns to spotlight — and leaves onlookers aghast

A proposal by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) to get the Jeffrey Epstein files and client list firestorm resolved as the MAGA base revolts is being greeted with laughter and incredulity.

During an appearance on "The Benny Show," the controversial Colorado Republican admitted the Epstein fight, with the Department of Justice and AG Pam Bondi caught in the middle, is tearing the party apart — and she suggested a special counsel be appointed.

Her choice for special counsel?

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who stepped down from his seat over allegations of sex parties with teens.

After telling the host, "Of course we want answers. No one is satisfied with what has been received or lack thereof. No one is satisfied with the rollout of this," she added, "“This is certainly important and I want answers, and maybe that takes that special counsel to do so. Maybe Matt Gaetz can lead the special counsel.”

Needless to say, when the clip was posted to Bluesky, people had opinions, including one commenter who wrote, "She didn't really say that, did she?"

She did.

"Yes. A sex pervert investigating sex perverts. WTF," added another critic.

Bluesky user Nigel Murphy asked, "I know I keep joking that our current reality has been scripted by the writers of The Office, but am I wrong?"

"Bwhahahaha! You’ve gotta be crazy. Oh, wait. You are," suggested Arlene Trebbe Fowler.

Azure Spirit complained, "As a woman, I hate to speak this way of any other woman, but this girl is really dumb, like classic-old-movie-dumb-blonde-girl. How is this girl getting elected? I will never get it."

"Is Jared from Subway’s schedule all booked up?" joked hotelalhamra.

Bill Cochrane admitted, "I legit spit my drink out when I read this."

"So the GOP Rep who gives handies in public theaters wants to put a disgraced former congressman the job of investigating a known pedophile sex-trafficker who likely provided child sex slaves to powerful members of both parties and the business community. Completely checks out in 2025 AD," pointed out Toffee Tex

Jes wrote, "This might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone say unironically."

"Well, no one knows more about sex, trafficking, underage girls, and Matt Gaetz," another commenter suggested.

"As soon as I saw the words 'Lauren Bobert says' my mind just automatically filled in 'something stupid'." admitted Some Random Dude.

Darthstar summed up the general tenor of comments by writing, "Stop stealing stories from The Onion"
