Lauren Boebert Loses Her Mind During Twitter Hearing

Lauren Boebert went completely berserk during a hearing with former Twitter executives this past week, accusing them of "shadow banning" her account after she tweeted out what she called a "joke" about Hillary Clinton. Though the executives denied shadow banning her, she continued to insist that she was limited in hear reach, then went off a factually-inaccurate tirade against the former employees. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Earlier this week, of course we talked about Marjorie Taylor Green having a massive meltdown during the Twitter hearings where she claimed that she had, uh, been violated and that the First Amendment had been in fact violated by Twitter. But Lauren Bobert came along later in the week and completely outdid her. Lauren Bobert managed to out crazy Marjorie Taylor Green with her meltdown where green, uh, or excuse me, Bobert, was grilling the same former executives that Green had grilled except Bobbitt's grievance was that she had allegedly been shadow banned for a joke she told about Hillary Clinton. So here is that exchange. I love this. This is so fun.

She was talking to, by the way, uh, yo Roth and uh, VI Gotti, uh, and they s uh, Bobert says quote, did either of you approve a shadow banning of my account at Lauren Bobert? No, I did not. Roth responded, not to the best of my recollection. Gatti said, I know you looked at it because fascist Twitter 1.0 had a public interest exceptions policy, which means for members of Congress to be shadow banned. It had to go before you, Mr. Roth. So I'll ask again, did you shadow ban my account, yes or no? Roth then responded, not to the best of my recollection. And then Bobert said, so the answer is, Mr. Roth, yes, you did.

She then continues. It's a freaking joke about Hillary Clinton being angry that she couldn't rig her election. It's a joke. But in response, being the sinister overlords that you all are, you placed a 90 day account filter. So I could not be found. Now who the hell do you think you are? Election interference. Yeah, I would say that that was taking place because of you four sitting here. This is fundamental to our nation's governance. And you all attack that very foundation. I'm not angry for myself. I'm not angry because I was silenced. I am angry for the millions of Americans who were silenced because of your decisions, because of your actions, because of your collusion with the federal government.

Kind of sounds like you're mad about the alleged shadow ban. It doesn't sound like you have grievances for millions of Americans. It sounds like you have a personal ax to grind with these individuals because your tweets suddenly started not doing very well. Maybe it's because you're not very smart and you don't send out smart things. I mean, did you ever think of that? I love how conservatives, anytime they get a tweet that underperforms, they're like, I'm being shadow banned. No, you just say stupid things and we don't always feel like responding to it. Like that's what happened. And it's also funny that they're like, Nope, we didn't do that. Yes you did. And I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm screaming at you, but I'm not mad. You're mad. It's

Okay to admit you're mad. It's okay to admit that this entire panel here was put together because you guys all had personal grievances and you were following false information from the Twitter files. I won't say false, I will say incomplete information from the Twitter files cuz you say that they were colluding with the federal government. But as far as we know, the only person in the federal government who was actively asking Twitter to censor things was Donald Trump when he was president. So are you saying that Twitter colluded with Donald Trump?
