Rep. Lauren Boebert’s social media take on climate change has left her social media commenters as cold as caucus day in Iowa.
The Colorado Republican was met with virtual eye-rolls Monday after she took to X to share her views on how weather works.
“You’ve got to appreciate the irony of climate protestors trudging through a foot of snow and -30 degree wind chills to yell about how the planet is warming,” Boebert posted late Sunday.
On Monday, the responses were biting.
“It's called weather,” replied Mike Morton. “You know, like these record-breaking temperatures in Colorado last year. I'm sure your constituents remember.”
Morton did not specify to which constituents he referred. Boebert announced last year she’ll be ditching District 3 in the upcoming election and now hopes to represent in District 4 in another part of the state.
“I hope this helps,” replied Scott Santens, who shared with Boebert a chart explaining the relationship between climate change and extreme weather.

“Just so you know,” Santens added, “when someone plays peekaboo with you, they aren't actually disappearing.”
Boebert recently saw her family life make headlines when her ex-husband accused her of punching him in the face at a restaurant, only to find himself arrested on assault charges and his ex cleared.
The story made national headlines only a few months after footage of Boebert vaping and groping at, and being ejected from, Beetlejuice the musical went viral.
“Thank God you're too important to have to vape outside in this,” replied @NoVanessa.
