5:29Now PlayingLauren Boebert barely survived her reelection bid, winning by a mere 547 votes, but that hasn't stopped her from engaging in the same type of attention-grabbing behavior that turned voters off just two months ago. And now her supporters back home are already getting sick of it, telling reporters recently that she needs to "tone down" her "nasty" behavior. That's unlikely to happen, and Farron Cousins explains why.

According to a new report from the Associated Press that spoke to multiple people in Lauren Boebert's district. Apparently even her most ardent supporters are ready for her to stop being quote nasty. And specifically what they're talking about is not, uh, you know, her personally being nasty. It's her rhetoric, her tone and her actions that they feel are too nasty. One woman who spoke to the Associated Press by the name of Debbie Hartman had this to say, tone down the nasty rhetoric on occasion and just stick with the point at hand. Another Boebert supporter from her district said this, this one to me is the most shocking. She tapped into what Trump was doing, and she maybe took it too far in some instances, according to Alex Mason. So what Mr. Mason says is, well, you know, she's doing what Trump was doing. She, she took it too far.
Everything Trump was doing right? That was, that was totally on the level, like not outta the realm of, you know, normalcy, but, but Boebert just kind of took it way, way too far. Now, if you look at Trump and you're like, yep, that's how a politician is supposed to behave, and then you look at Bobber, you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's a bridge too far. Then you're not a very serious person that we should listen to for political advice, cuz Lord Boebert is, is nasty, uh, a as her own supporter pointed out there. But has she gone as far as Trump? Is she as bad as Donald Trump? No. Not by any stretch of the imagination. She is absolutely horrible. Yes. And maybe one day she'll be on her way to being as bad as Trump, but she's, she's not there yet. I, I, I think I'm gonna go ahead and actually slide with Bobber on that one.
She's not there yet, so calm down Mr. Mason. She is definitely not as bad as Donald Trump, but here's what gets me about all this. The Associated Press also spoke with Lauren Bobert who made it clear that, uh, you know what, I'm gonna pick fewer fights maybe, maybe with the left. But she says she's not gonna change who she is. She also went as far as to say that a lot of people on the left pointed to her recent election where she only won by 547 votes in a solid Republican district. And they said her, as she said, a lot of those on the left have said, look at your election. Are you going to tone it down little girl? I'm still going to be me. First of all, let's go ahead and throw that sexism out right now. Like you are trying to paint yourself as a victim with that statement by saying people are referring to you as little girl. Um, that didn't happen. So let's be real clear and
Honest about what people have said, because I'll be open about what I've said about Laura Bobert. And that is that she learned nothing after winning by only 547 votes in a district where she should have won by about 7% and she won by couple hundred votes. That's not a decisive victory. That is certainly not a mandate. And while the Associated Press also spoke with people in the district who, who support everything Bobert does, it's clear from this last election that she is not on solid footing. You know, maybe she does need to tone it down. Maybe she needs to understand that the people in the district want deliverables, not just somebody who's gonna go to Washington DC for, as Bobert put it, the anger attainment. But here's the thing, we're, we're a week into this new Congress. Technically we're like four days into the new Congress cuz they didn't get sworn in until in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday.
But you made a spectacle of yourself all last week that that wasn't made up. You did it and you don't even know why you did it. You were interviewed multiple times. You got in a fight with Sean Hannity on on Live tv, but you still couldn't answer his questions about what the hell are you doing? What do you want? Who do you want to replace? Kevin McCarthy? You couldn't answer that. You put up obstruction for the sake of putting up obstruction sided with Matt Gates. Ultimately, I guess you could count it as a victory for you, but it might be one of those puric victories, right? Where you lose so much, even though you won that you really can't count it as victory.
