Lauren Boebert Gets Skewered Over Idiotic Tweet About Delta Variant

Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was humiliated into deleting a tweet this week where she said that the only way to stop the Delta variant of the Coronavirus is to turn off CNN and vote for Republicans. The backlash that she received across the social media world led her to be shamed into deleting the idiotic statement, but the damage had already been done. The Delta variant, and the original virus, still need to be taken seriously, and Boebert's attempt to downplay the crisis shows that she isn't serious enough to be a real leader. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Republican representative Lauren Boebert was basically humiliated this week to the point where she actually had to delete one of her idiotic tweets about the Delta variant of the Coronavirus. Here is what Lauren Boebert had said on Twitter. The easiest way to make the Delta variant go away is to turn off CNN and vote Republican. So she thinks it's, what, media hype, totally made up. After everything we've been through for the last 15 months, this idiot still has the audacity to go out there and be like, oh, the media is over-hyping this, 600,000 Americans are dead, Lauren, 600,000. The economy has been cratered here in the United States because of this virus. People spent over a year stuck inside their homes because of this virus. This is not fake. This is not media hype. This is not hyperbole. This is a global pandemic that is still going on. And in some cases, like Arkansas, just reported their highest infectious day in the last four months.

Fauci warning us this week that we're about to see two Americas due to the discrepancy in the number of vaccinations. We're basically going to have vaccinated America that's able to go forth with their lives and we're going to have unvaccinated America, those are the ones by the way, majority Republican, who are most at risk from the Delta variant of the Coronavirus here, Lauren. You're literally putting your own voters in harms way, risking their lives, just to make an idiotic political point that's completely false, by the way, but that is what these Republicans stand for and that's what I want people to fully understand. Lauren Boebert knows, like I have no doubt that she knows this thing is real. She has seen the numbers. As a member of Congress she has access to information that the rest of us don't even have access to. But she goes out there like so many other Republicans tries to downplay this thing. Tell us it's all overhyped.

Tell us that we're sacrificing our freedom by having to wear a mask. But all they're doing is literally killing off their own base at this point. Don't listen to politicians about the pandemic. How about that? I don't care if it's left or right. How about we just listen to medical professionals? How about we take the advice of medical professionals and get vaccinated, wear masks, especially if you're not vaccinated, please wear masks and if you have questions about the safety, the efficacy of the vaccines, talk to a medical professional. Don't listen to some idiot representative on Twitter who doesn't know what she's talking about. But unfortunately I feel like too many Americans have already made up their minds. They would rather get medical advice from a tweet from a bar owner than go and talk to an actual doctor. It's one of the reasons we're seeing this thing come roaring back here in the United States.
