Lauren Boebert Files Legislation To Punish Official Who Embarrassed Her

Lauren Boebert is trying to use her legislative power to punish an official at the Department of Interior who Boebert claims has been "stalking" her in the halls of Congress. What actually happened is that the official had called out Boebert for one of her braindead statements, and now Boebert has put forth an amendment to pending legislation that would reduce the official's salary to just $1 per year. This is beyond disgusting, and a clear abuse of power, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Republican representative Lauren Bobert engaged in an absolutely egregious abuse of power this week when she proposed an amendment to an appropriations bill for the Department of Interior and a couple other departments. Um, but she proposed an amendment that would reduce the salary of a high ranking department official, not the head of the department, just somebody that works for the head of the department. Her salary would be reduced to $1 because Lauren Bobert has a grudge against this woman. A woman by the name by the way, of, uh, Melissa Schwartz. Uh, she's a senior figure within the Department of the Interior. She works for Deb Holland, the leader of the Department of the Interior. And here is what Bobert said to the American public when she introduced this amendment. And here's why. Of course she hates Ms. Schwartz so much. Melissa Schwartz is yet another horrendous and miserable use of taxpayer dollars.

She is a mask wearing quad quadruple Vaxxed green New Deal extremist, and unfortunately, a liberal troll who has harassed me even in committee hearing rooms. She shouldn't be employed at the Department of Interior. Melissa Schwartz belongs under a bridge. Melissa has the nerve and lack of respect to confront me in the halls of Congress following a Department of Interior meeting. In this hearing, she had the audacity to come and personally attack a member of Congress. This DEI hire made clear she doesn't work for the American people and she is simply another misguided mouthpiece for liberal extremists that hates conservatives and people that disagree with her eccentric views.

So this idiot from Colorado, 'cause Colorado you own her now, um, wants to reduce her salary to $1 per year because she called Lauren Bobert out during a committee meeting. She corrected Lauren Bobert is actually what happened. Lauren Bobert said something that wasn't true, which is what Bobert does every time she opens her stupid mouth. And Lauren Bobert is so off at this that she is pushing an amendment to an appropriations bill to reduce this woman's salary to a dollar a year. That is a frigging abusive power. And Lauren Bobert should be immediately kicked out of Congress for this. This has no legislative purpose. This is Lauren Bobert using her own personal grudge against somebody in a different department to punish them. And that's an abusive power. And if you don't kick her out of Congress, then by God, the Department of Justice needs to investigate her for abusing this power and put her under arrest. That's what should happen. And everything Bobert says here, obviously is completely false. Like she disrespected me. You just said she belongs under a bridge and you called her a troll. You also incorrectly, by the way, referred to her as a DEI hire, which just shows that you are so

Dumb. You don't know what DEI even means, do you? No, you don't. That's just the new racist, uh, slang that Republicans are throwing around, right? They've done it to Kamala Harris. Now they're doing it to Melissa Schwartz. Because these people are so stupid, and I mean that genuinely like these are the dumbest human beings this country has to offer. They're serving in Congress, clearly abusing their powers, and nothing is happening to them. Lauren Bobert should immediately be under criminal investigation. That's what should happen with this. This amendment is the absolute last straw. No more launch a criminal investigation. And let's get Lauren Bobert the hell outta Congress for good.
