Lauren Boebert’s ‘Ridiculous’ Thanksgiving Boasts Go Down Like Expired Turkey
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) earned little gratitude for her Thanksgiving message on Thursday.
The conspiracy theory-loving lawmaker took time out during her holiday weekend return to Colorado — which also saw her allegedly make up an Islamophobic story involving Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) ― to tweet:
Today I’m thankful to have ZERO Brandon voters in my family!
Just enjoying the day maskless, not waiting in the garage to do a PCR test, and no soy replacement meat in sight.— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) November 26, 2021
“Today I’m thankful to have ZERO Brandon voters in my family!” she wrote.
The “Brandon” dig references the anti-President Joe Biden phrase “Let’s Go Brandon.”
“Just enjoying the day maskless, not waiting in the garage to do a PCR test, and no soy replacement meat in sight,” added Boebert, who has peddled puzzling and awful hot takes on COVID-19 and vaccines on multiplepreviousoccasions and has actively railed against House mask mandates.
Critics responded to Boebert’s post as expected:
Everyone at our Thanksgiving dinner was vaccinated. Many were boostered like me. Even my 8 and 9 year old grandsons are vaccinated.
We want to do our part to keep each other safe and to help end Covid.

I spent Thanksgiving w my family today in your district because of vaccines.
All of us voted for President Biden & we're not bigots like you.
We weren't able to gather last year because of COVID & because my cousin is an ICU nurse who was taking care of people sick with COVID. https://t.co/m6tcbFEd4o— Laura Chapin (@LauraChapin) November 26, 2021

Today I’m thankful to have ZERO MAGA or Brandon voters in my family!
Happy Thanksgiving and get vaccinated— JBC Trader (@JbcTrader) November 26, 2021
And yet you represent the 3rd Congressional district that includes MANY BIDEN voters. Get a grip. Because you do not represent us or our Colorado. You are an embarrassment. Resign. https://t.co/eKjoNGxicl
