Last week, Colorado representative and all-around Freedom Caucus troll Lauren Boebert showed her true, disgusting colors, when someone handed her a pin in commemoration of a child who died in the 2022 Robb Elementary School gun slaughter in Uvalde. Boebert took the pin, and dropped it into the nearest trash can she could find – right in front of the person who gave her the pin. And in front of another person who filmed the whole event.
I blogged about it here.
Yesterday, Boebert released a statement where she apologized for her actions. Sort of. After layering enough foundation on her face to support a small building, and sitting in her car with her video camera aimed at her like some wannabe TikTok influencer … she said this.
Yeah, I watched this video. And I have two words for Lauren Boebert.
Sure, Jan.
After starting her apology by saying she was wearing earpieces and couldn’t hear what was going on (you normally walk around the halls of Congress with earbuds in? Who are you ignoring?) – and then spending time claiming that the person who handed her the pin had been harassing her for a long time (not true, not in the slightest), Boebert dives back into that old tried and true fake-ass apology of “I’m sorry if you were offended.”
Cut me a break. I’ve dealt with apologies in the past – the real ones and the ones where you hope someone believes you’re sorry when you’re really not.
Hell, a year and a half ago, Boebert tried that old “I’m sorry if you were offended” trope after she was caught on camera smearing Rep. Ilhan Omar and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Seriously. This person needs to leave Congress and just stay out of the public eye. On a good day, she’s a political embarrassment. On all the other days – she’s downright dangerous.
Lauren Boebert may not be the most horrible person in all of Congress, but she sure better hope that nobody drops a house on Marjorie Taylor Greene, or that title will be hers and hers alone.

Between Lauren Balloon and Empty-G, the Mile High Airhead is the more likely to be voted out of office next year after a narrow escape last year. Her hollow attempt at an “apology” was just that. Hollow, like the Keebler tree.
And you know Empty-G would’ve done the same thing.
