Lauren Boebert said she was thanked by the mother of a ‘lieutenant corporal,’ which isn’t a thing

There’s not a colonel of truth to that title. Outspoken Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert claims that a few parents of U.S. soldiers killed in Afghanistan reached out to support her after…

The future of the GOP needs to gain a better understanding of military rankings before trying to "own the libs". 🤣🤣

Apparently Boebert went on social media to read aloud a letter that one of the mothers of a solider who died in Kabul during the US pullout. During her "own the libs" moment, Boebert called the fallen soldier a "Lieutenant Corporal", which only exists as a ranking in the Gazpacho police and not in the military.

If she saw the "LCprl", instead of being the clueless idiot she is, could have researched the abbreviation first and maybe wouldn't have sounded so clueless.

This is as petty as when people ridiculed Obama for miss pronouncing corpsman.

While it would be nice for them to not flubber these things no disrespect was meant to anyone. I do think think a little bit of light hearted ribbing is certainly fair but nobody should get carried away in their attacks. She made a mistake, ha ha, move on.

Its not a "ha ha". She tried to "own the libs". And failed.
She's an idiot.

Whether you are or aren't you come off looking like a hate monger when you rake someone over the coals for an innocent mistake.

Everyone makes mistakes. When a hate monger and bully (Boebert) makes a mistake while trying to be smug no one should be surprised if it's pointed out. Especially when she would do the same in a hot minute.

So, you've responded to others in this thread talking about "Corpseman" and made the same comment?
Or those who made fun of Biden for saying Iranians instead of Ukranians?
Being consistent or defending Boebert?

I think it's fair to have a laugh at her expense. I also think people to exercise some self control and keep it within reason.

So, in your opinion, are the responses in this thread out of bounds?

Hillary Clinton thanks Russia for 'Lifetime Achievement Award' of sanctions

I think this was the Kremlin triggering those who still react with rage specifically to provoke responses like they make. Edit: To put it another way, this was Russia trying to use her to stir up trouble in the USA. Not that she had any say in the matter. But Russia knows some of the buttons...

LOL, I just did a quick search. There are a lot of "gay lefties" who voted for Trump who like to use the hag insult.

I am entirely consistent with my positions and do not base them on partisan preferences as you seem to be implying. I agree with the positions Trump has taken more than the ones Biden has taken so far but I hold them both to the same standard.

What people on the left are gonna need to come to terms with next cycle is they are going to need to primary him out if he tries to run again. You may like his ideological positions but he is not a good leader.

I think calling her a liar and comparing her to a baboon is in poor taste but generally speaking I think she has been getting what she deserves in this thread.

Well, she is an actual liar, which has been proven many times. And the lies were not just off the cuff fibs or exaggerations.

Don't you think the picture of her antics in the audience at the State of the Union address resembles the picture of the screaming baboons? Boebert and Green's behavior was in poor taste, IMO.

I agree that the heckling they did was in poor taste but I don't think that excuses other things that are also in poor taste.

I also don't think it helps anything when people constantly try to outdo each other in what seems to be a race to the bottom.

When are the adults in the room going to act like adults? I say this to both parties. I don't see many adults in either party, if any at all. It's why we are the state we are in.

There are 58 states and territories, which were the subject of Obama's statement.

For edification:

The US Territories are:
  • Puerto Rico.
  • Guam.
  • US Virgin Islands.
  • Northern Mariana Islands.
  • American Samoa.
  • Midway Atoll.
  • Palmyra Atoll.
  • Baker Island.

Pointing out bad behavior is not a race to the bottom.
