We all know that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has a decidedly out-there obsession with firearms—now it turns out that her justification for packing heat is total nonsense.
Boebert has repeatedly told the story of how she began to carry a gun at work after a man was “beat to death” right outside of the diner she owns in Rifle, Colorado. That’s just not true, according to The Washington Post’s Fact Checker report.
The dead man, named Anthony Green, did fight with a man with a prosthetic leg, with a witness telling police that Green “duked that guy out.”
Police opened a homicide investigation after Green was found dead on Aug. 22, 2013— but the autopsy report concluded that Green died of “methamphetamine intoxication.” His only injury was a superficial head gash from a fall.
The Fact Checker writes: “Boebert is wrong to claim that the man was beaten to death. If anything, Green appears to have been throwing most of the punches.
Then he died of a drug overdose.” Not only that, but the fight took place three blocks from her premises—Green just ran past the back of her business before he collapsed. Boebert has not commented.

12. Meth powered the German army in WWII.
The Nazis gave extremely generous amounts of a drug named 'Pervitin' - which was nothing more than methamphetamine - to their soldiers to keep them going for days without sleep and food. History bears out the folly of depending upon chemicals to enhance soldiers' performance.
16. Generally, the gape faced naivete and chronic gullibility of QOP voters is a national disgrace.
It allows every Palin wannabe a soap box upon which to celebrate their rabid disconnect with reality. Which is, itself, telling. Especially so since this trend was engendered and tracks along the rise of "reality" entertainment.
Reality TV, infotainment news, outrage commentary: all have played their part in the degradation of the loyal opposition which was the Republican party.
That the "legendary" rise of Lauren Boebert is finally found to be based on the repetition of lies is certainly no surprise.
I expect her and the Greene woman both to be removed in an act of congressional housecleaning if/when the nature of their complicity with the Jan 6 insurrection is revealed. Others, similarly, may succumb to a compelling need to "spend more time with their families" as well.
It is this, the threat of a morality-based feeding frenzy to bring low those on high, which empowers the controversies circling Governors Cuomo and Newsom and any other Democrat with an iota of vulnerability. The shadows of hypocrisy are casting themselves over nearly everything these days and I don't expect much light very soon.
