Lauren Boebert

There has been a rush of Republican critiques and complaints about the Biden administration's execution of the U.S.'s withdrawal from the nation after nearly 20 years of fighting. But no reaction appears to have gone as low as that from freshman Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado who joked about Afghans filmed falling off a U.S. military plane to their deaths on Monday.

"At least they won't have to read 'mean tweets,'" the congresswoman tweeted on Monday. Boebert's tweet was accompanied by a video of hundreds of Afghan men swarming a U.S. military plane as it takes off. Several men quickly fell off the plane. Their deaths were filmed.

An attempt to tell President Joe Biden how to do his job led to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) crashing and burning on Sunday morning after critics of the conservative lawmaker were once again reminded that she seems to tweet before thinking.

With Biden at Camp David monitoring the situation in Afghanistan, Boebert who is back home in Colorado, tweeted: "No person who calls themselves the President of the United States should be on vacation while the world crumbles down around them. The dereliction of duty continues..."

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) tried to split the difference on COVID-19 vaccines -- and she was hit with backlash.

The Colorado Republican published an op-ed on the Fox News website arguing that vaccinations were a personal choice that should be free of government involvement, saying that precautionary measures such as business closures and masking mandates were "anti-American bullcrap."

Reacting to the announcement by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY ) that he would be stepping down in 14 days after being accused of sexual assault and improprieties with female staffers and other women over an extended period of time, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) quickly dashed out a tweet that ignited a backlash.

Boebert -- whose husband allegedly exposed himself to some teen girls at a bowling alley in 2004 and subsequently pleaded guilty to public indecency and lewd exposure -- took a shot at the outgoing Democrat, tweeting out: "One less pervert in government. Goodbye Cuomo! Keep your hands to yourself, creep!"

Salon's continuing investigation of Rep. Lauren Boebert's unexplained late-night tour of the U.S. Capitol on Dec. 12, 2020 — three weeks before the Colorado Republican became a member of Congress — has revealed further information. Earlier that day Boebert attended a march in Washington to support Donald Trump's baseless theory that the 2020 election was stolen. Evidence suggests that the Capitol tour itself — involving Boebert, her mother, her teenage son and a Capitol Police officer — apparently took place close to midnight, at an hour when the Capitol complex is normally completely shut down.

As the United States Senate debated the bipartisan infrastructure framework, one Republican senator took to social media to dispel disinformation about the bill.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) debunked four items of misinformation that the far-right is spreading about the bill.'"

"Real Time" host Bill Maher explained the six reasons he has identified as motivating congressional Republicans to "sell out" America.

During Friday night's show, with guests Malcolm Nance and Ben Shapiro, Maher blasted Republicans during his "new rules" segment.

On the far right, Sarah Palin isn't as prominent as she was during the Obama years — when the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee tirelessly railed against President Barack Obama's centrist administration while promoting far-right conspiracy theories. Palin, in 2021, hasn't been in the headlines nearly as much as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia or Rep. Lauren Boeberg of Colorado. But journalist Margaret Carlson, in an article for the Daily Beast this week, discusses Palin's hopes for a comeback — including a possible U.S. Senate run in Alaska.

"Before there was Donald Trump, there was Sarah Palin, a supernova who burst out of the 49th state onto the national scene in 2008 as John McCain's choice for vice president," Carlson writes. "She ultimately lost to Joe Biden and returned briefly to her day job governing Alaska before quitting midway through her first term to tend to a family fractured by sudden fame."

On the night of Dec. 12, 2020, the day of the first Stop the Steal rally in Washington and three weeks ahead of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, several guests of then-Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., received an exclusive after-hours tour of the Capitol building from the far-right firebrand.

There are several unanswered questions about this visit, which appears to have violated normal Capitol protocol in various ways. It's not clear who authorized it, since Boebert was not yet a member of Congress and had no official standing in D.C. It's perhaps even stranger that it occurred on a Saturday night, when the Capitol complex is closed. Later, in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack, Boebert repeatedly denied rumors that she had offered "reconnaissance tours" to would-be rioters shortly before that event. But her ambiguous comments appeared to avoid any specific discussion of this unexplained December tour.
