Lauren Boebert Marks MLK Day With Head-Scratching Call
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Monday as soon as once more tried to honor the late civil rights chief Martin Luther King Jr. on MLK Day.
But as soon as once more the extremist lawmaker was slammed for hypocrisy on X, previously Twitter, identical to she was in 2023 and in 2022, and like many Republicans have been beforehand for doing the identical.
Boebert wrote on the platform, “Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream that we would all be equal in America. Equity had no part of that dream. It was about equality. Let’s end the woke movement in America in honor of MLK Jr.”
In 2023, Boebert posted, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. On this day, we remember his incredible legacy and contributions to this great nation.”
And in 2022, Boebert advised followers, “Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His work to make this country a more perfect union lives on.”
Boebert’s newest honoring of MLK Day didn’t sit properly with critics.
Many, many different Donald Trump-adoring Republicans ― from Donald Trump Jr. and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders to Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) ― have been slammed for beforehand doing so too.
