3:38Now PlayingRepublican Representative Lauren Boebert sunk to a disgusting new low this week, posing with a T-shirt that pictured an assault rifle with the caption "Since we're redefining everything, this is a cordless hole puncher." The photo was posted on the same day that another mass shooting happened in this country, and there's little doubt about what the "hole puncher" is putting holes in. Republicans are getting more vile by the day, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

This past weekend, Republican representative Lauren Boebert decided to visit a gun range where she took some pictures with some adoring fans. And in one of the pictures, she is holding up a t-shirt that features a drawing of an assault rifle with the caption that says, since we're redefining everything, this is a cordless hole puncher. And as you can see, Bob's holding the shirt herself, got a big old smile on her face. This is hilarious, right? Ar fifteens are just cordless hole punchers. What are they punching holes in? Lauren, why don't you explain that to the people of the United States of America, what those assault rifles are being used to punch holes in? Cuz it's not targets, it's not animals that they're out there hunting. It's human beings. That's what those assault rifles are punching holes in throughout the country, including literally the day before you posted this picture, five innocent people in Texas murdered execution style with that very same weapon on that t-shirt that you're holding.
The fugitive, of course, was finally caught yesterday, but spent several days on the lamb after murdering five people and the day after those murders were were happened. Uh, Boebert poses with this shirt, cordless hole puncture. This individual is mocking every single mass shooting victim in the country, whether she intended to or not, that is what that is doing. I'm sure the parents who had to bury their children because they were attacked with a cordless hole puncher, I'm sure they thought your shirt was frigging hilarious. Lauren, why don't you go explain the joke to them, or better yet, why don't you let them explain that joke to you? Why don't you let them explain why their young children are buried six feet underground because somebody punched a bunch of holes in them with an AR 15. Now we have seen the science. We know what these weapons are designed to do and what they do to human bodies. They absolutely ripped them apart. And Lauren Boebert thought it was a smart idea, a cute idea, funny idea. I don't care what the hell she thought this is without a doubt one of the most disgusting things that we have seen from any of the current sitting members of Congress. And Boebert doesn't care. She's all about her guns. She loves guns. She loves guns more than she loves your children being alive. Far too many Republicans in power love guns more than they love your children being
Alive. That's what that shirt means. That's why Lauren Boebert is holding it because she has no shame. She has no guilt. She feels no obligation to protect your children. She is just a horrible, worthless, disgusting human being.
