Boebert quickly corrects bizarre gaffe while comparing herself to a chihuahua

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) quickly corrected herself after making a bizarre gaffe when describing herself on a recent podcast.

Host Alex Stein, whose desk featured a watermelon with cotton balls protruding out of it, introduced Boebert as "one of our greatest guests" and "arguably the most attractive woman on Capitol Hill."

Stein told Boebert, "You've always been so nice and, I mean this: you're one of the few people who's not afraid to be outspoken. And, like, you know, I feel like sometimes, because you're an attractive woman, people...they try to put you in a box. But...you have more balls than most of the men on Capitol Hill. And, I mean that with all due respect."

Stein then asked if it was hard for Boebert "to be as outspoken as you are."

"No, it's not hard at all!" Boebert answered. "I'm a mom of four boys, and I think it comes with that, it's kind of like a littler, smaller person mentality, right? It's kind of like a chihuahua instinct. Like, you have to be very forceful and adamant, and I guess maybe a little naggy and nappy — nippy, if you will," she said, correcting herself.

"But there's a lot to do to kind of get your point across when I guess you're a smaller person, if you will. But, this is also Washington, D.C., and nothing here happens without force."

She continued, "So, if you are passive, and mild, and meek, and just want to be a part of the team, and want leadership to appreciate you, well, then you're not going to get very far. Unless you're getting like, kind of some leadership welfare bills that they pass along to you and say, 'Hey, we're going to make sure this passes on your behalf' and 'Don't worry, you'll be recognized as an amazingly efficient member of Congress because you pass what we said you can pass.' So, I kind of go in a different lane and do what the American people sent me here to do."
