  you mean like your husband did to you and your friends at the bowling alley?  I thought you'd be all for that.
context: Lauren Boebert’s husband did jail time for "lewd exposure" in a bowling alley. She was there
  
  Couple were 86'd from Colorado bowling alley in 2004 after Jayson Boebert exposed himself to two young women
  
  The women were 24 and 17. >
  
  I just want an interviewer on national TV to call her out on this live in the middle of her ranting about pedophiles and groomers just to witness the mental Olympics that would occur as she leaps and contorts to get out of it. >
  
  She doesn't do national interviews unless with fascist propaganda outlets that are working with her handlers >
  
  “If it wasn’t for sexual assault and pedophiles, i would have never met my husband.” >
  
  Married a sex offender and pals around Washington with another? She should look closer to home to end the predation on children.
  She is basically a parrot.  Colorful. Can speak. Doesn't actually know what she is saying. Just lacks the playful, inquisitive nature. >
  
  I feel like you grossly insulted parrots. >
  
  Even my dead parrot is a better public speaker. >
  
  He's not dead, he's just resting >
  
  Pining for the fjords >
  
  This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! >
  
  This... is an Ex-parrot! >
  
  This is why I keep coming back to Reddit >
  
  "Sexualize" = Prevent them from being raped by educating them how to defend themselves. 
  That's it. That's literally it. Republicans long for the Halcyon days of old where "funny uncles" got away with their crimes because no one knew how to identify sexual abuse. If no one talks about it it doesn't exist. >
  
  Similar to how trump wanted to deal with the pandemic.. if we don’t test, no one officially has Covid.. right? >
  
  People need to ask themselves why Boebert and the far right are completely obsessed with sexualizing children. >
  
  You seen the all gas no brakes where he hangs out with a trump Q family?  Terrifying stuff. >
  
  It's called Channel 5 now. The production company that Andrew teamed with to make All Gas No Brakes was screwing him over so he broke ties with them. >
  
  
  Lauren Boebert bizarrely accuses senators voting for $1.7trn omnibus bill of wanting to ‘sexualise’ children
  
  More Republican projection, as the human trash heap known as Lauren Boebert has obviously mistaken those senators for her pedophile husband, demonstrating yet again that every Republican accusation is a confession. >
  
  They are trying to cheapen sexual assault so that nobody takes it seriously when it actually happens. This is intentional. >
  
  At this point her asinine remarks aren’t even newsworthy.
  When she starts speaking coherently about actual issues, then she might be headline worthy. >
  
  So never lol >
  
  she's the expert.. and somehow still got it wrong. >
  
  The GOP should really not be surprised if they are voted out of office again in droves come 2024.  If they can't restrain their idiots, they'll be defined by them. >
  
  100% pure ultra-refined projection, considering that she married a man who was convicted of exposing his penis to underage teenage girls at a bowling-alley snack bar. >
  
  At least a fencepost has a clear purpose. >
  
  From the Denver Post:
  
  "Boebert was arrested twice in Mesa County in 2015. As first reported by Colorado Newsline, Boebert was detained on June 20, 2015, after a verbal altercation with police at Country Jam, a music festival near Grand Junction. Boebert, then 28 years old, allegedly shouted at people detained on suspicion of underage drinking, urging them to flee from police, which caused the young drinkers to become unruly.
  While she was being handcuffed for disorderly conduct, Boebert tried to twist away from police, according to deputies’ reports. She allegedly shouted that her arrest was unconstitutional, that “she had friends at Fox News and that the arrest would be national news.” It did not become national news."
  
  She just cares about the young ones so much. >
  
  Her clients at Fox news from her time as an escort, where she met Ted Cruz. >
  
  Maybe her bestie Matt Gaetz can give her some tips on the headline topic. >
  
  Yes bc republicans care so much about the children >
  
  Bobo the clown is doing what she always does… struggling to extend the attention on her. >
  
  Calling people pedophiles has become the right's new "9/11 let's roll never forget why do you hate America?" >
  
  While they ignore their churches and the egregious amount of child sexual abuse that ACTUALLY happens there.  They just don't want any  competition. >
  
  Ignores the child sex trafficker right next to her;  reads her fantasies in legislation. >
  
  This is the legacy of QAnon. "Everyone I don't like is a pedophile" is now normalized discourse. >
  
  Yup, because indulging themselves in baseless name calling is much more important than whether they're increasing the risk to children by trivializing something that has such indescribably significant impacts on the well being of effected children, nor do they care about how hurtful it is for victims to be constantly confronted and disrupted with this kind of language while they're going about their daily life.
  No one indulging themselves in this despicable and harmful behavior gives a fuck about children or victims of pedophilia. >
  
  Widespread destigmatization of casual, false accusations of sexual violence... is going to make it that much harder for real victims to get support. >
  
  She is the reason we need education requirements to hold office. Think about how many other government jobs, state or federal, she would not meet minimum requirements for and ask how she is qualified to make any decisions. >
  
  We kind of already have education requirements. But they can't be too strict or we'll start to see holding office as a more exclusive club than it already is.
  We need to implement regular psychological and mental health screenings of members of government in order to determine if they're fit for office >
  
  I’m not necessarily completely opposed to mental health screenings, but I feel like that comes with problems too.
  For one, who is doing the screening, and what’s stopping them from conducting a biased screening or inconsistently enforcing guidelines?
  Speaking of guidelines, what disqualifies someone? Can someone with depression not serve as an elected official? OCD? A personality disorder? Anorexia? Gender dysphoria is in the DSM as well, and so is autism. And if the criteria says any disorders must be well managed, what are the criteria for that? Do we have to routinely test people for how severe their mental health conditions are? 
  What about delusions? Is there any risk of someone being considered delusional because of political beliefs? I realize this line has been blurred lately, to say the least. But when do we consider someone delusional versus just holding an unpopular or unlikely sentiment? To many, perhaps people of varying beliefs, “the rich have conspired to make the poor fight amongst themselves and stay poor” is a legitimate belief, but to others that might sound delusional or paranoid. 
  I’m not trying to be argumentative for the sake of it. I just worry about things like this being used in nefarious ways. >
  
  Every few minutes those two brain cells bouncing around in there collide, she calls someone a pedophile because she thinks she's at home then she goes back into dormant mode >
  
  The groomer pedo conspiracy shit is starting to become the go to issue for these grifters. >
  
  You really sum up what is going on and the idea is terrifying.  All they have to do is make an accusation of a sexual offense and ruin a person’s reputation. >
  
  I think it’s a bit more sinister, in my opinion the fastest way to get someone to be angry is to convince them that kids are being harmed, especially  in a sexual manner. Look at jails people will catch decades in more time to slowly kill a chomo. They are so low on the demagogue checklist they are telling people that anyone with an alt sex life is after their kid. It’s pretty disgusting. >
  
  An excellent assessment.  I ran a comprehensive sex offender program in a prison for almost 29 years.  Inmates convicted of sexual offenses were vilified.  The other inmates, irregardless of their own offenses  were united in their hatred of them.  This “groomer” and “pedophile” insinuation should be squashed, but I’m afraid it has been recognized as an effective tool for motivating the rabble. >
  
  I couldn’t think of a more effective way to radicalize. >
  
  Says the woman who should know... But doesn't >
  
  Why are republicans so obsessed with fucking children? >
  
  They want to be the only ones who can do it. That's the cold hard truth of the matter. >
  
  Didn't this dipstick vote against the recent child abuse bill? 
  What absolute DFs are voting for these asshats?
