Rep. Lauren Boebert's Cuomo Zinger Fails Miserably Due To GOP Hypocrisy
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
After New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced his resignation on Tuesday amid a withering sexual harassment scandal, his political opponents, of course, moved to take advantage of the situation.
True to form, outspoken right-wing Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) went after Cuomo on Twitter, saying his downfall meant “one less pervert in government.”
One less pervert in government.
Goodbye Cuomo! Keep your hands to yourself, creep!— Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) August 10, 2021
And it might have worked, if not for the pesky Twitter users who pointed out the hypocrisy in Boebert’s gloating.
In the end, Boebert’s attempt to own the libs backfired badly, with people noting some high-profile problematic politicians in the Republican Party.

Cuomo resigns with 11 allegations.
Trump had at least 26.
Just sayin.— Agolf Twitler Slayer (@bblock29) August 10, 2021
I 100% agree that Andrew Cuomo should have resigned. And I hope this gives the women he harassed some peace.

Some suggested that Boebert may not want to throw around the word “pervert,” since her husband Jayson Boebert pleaded guilty to indecent exposure after a 2004 incident in which he exposed his penis to a teenage girl at a bowling alley.
Remember, @laurenboebert proudly serves alongside Matt Gaetz, proudly supports Donald Trump and proudly stands by her husband who exposed his tallywacker to a teenaged girl in a bowling alley. https://t.co/01cGS67qqW

But one person responded to Boebert by simply quoting former President Donald Trump’s infamous “Access Hollywood” bluster:
