Boebert Says Colleges Are "Leftist Training Camps"

[TexasTowelie]

The largest school in her district, Colorado Mesa University, is led by a prominent Republican.


In a column published yesterday, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) called all colleges and universities “leftist training camps.”

Writing for Glenn Beck’s far-right website The Blaze, Boebert attacked Congressional Democrats’ proposed update to federal voting laws, called the For The People Act (H.R. 1), which among other reforms would implement many of Colorado’s “gold standard” election laws across the country.

Despite having handily won an election conducted under these laws, Boebert accuses Democrats of trying to rig the system, including attempting “to use taxpayer dollars to establish aggressive voter recruitment programs at leftist training camps — otherwise known as colleges and universities.” Boebert’s office did not respond to a request for additional comment.

Colorado’s Third Congressional District contains five schools offering four-year degrees: Colorado Mesa University, Western Colorado University, Colorado State University Pueblo, Fort Lewis College and Adams State University. The district is also home to numerous regional campuses for junior and community colleges.

1. And she should know, because her degree is in...

oh wait, never mind. She got a GED in order to run for office.

[jpak]

2. How would a high school dropout with a GED know that?

[hlthe2b]

21. who only earned the GED months before running for office... How convenient.

[dem4decades]

3. She must have felt that way about high school, she avoided that too.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. ALL colleges and universities?

Even Liberty University?

I had a liberal arts background and we never discussed revolution unless it was the French Revolution or the Russian Revolution.

To rebut Lauren Boebert, I probably shared dorm space with some of the most conservative women I have ever met. If my friends and I weren't conservatives, and that makes us "leftists," so be it. We're still smarter than she is.

5. Did she say that without drooling?

I bet not.

[NewHendoLib]

6. no curiosity, no ideas... just naked envy. She exemplifies ignorance.

7. Has she ever been on a college campus?

What a loser.

[Renew Deal]

8. This is the whole "truth has a liberal bias" problem

[Blue Owl]

9. The GOP's gun-toting useful idiot

[Mary in S. Carolina]

10. I say we boycott Aspen

I think we should all boycott Aspen - there are many great places to ski in Colorado that welcomes Democrats, we don't need to go to Aspen as long is "it" is their representative. Email Aspen at https://cityofaspen.com and tell them to get rid of that...thing.

11. I feel good with her having a gun, and of course, the brain power to use it wisely

[Midnight Writer]

12. She's mad because every time her husband is around a school they make him pull his pants up.

[The Wizard]

13. One of the poorly educated

Trumpanzees and Glock fondlers.

[kimbutgar]

14. Says a woman who got her GED last year

She has no idea what college is all about.

Poor ignorant dear.

[JDC]

15. Education is the enemy of the GOP.

[blm]

16. And bowling alleys are where pedophiles train you

to look at the tattoos on their peters.....you know....before you drop out of high school and marry that pedophile.

[vercetti2021]

17. Funny I have a GED as well

But I'm smarter than her lol says volumes about the brain capacity of Qonservatives.

[niyad]

20. I know several other people with GED's, and they happen to be very smart, wonderful people.

She, on the other hand, is just disgusting.

[niyad]

18. One of her devoted constituents was just saying yesterday that all libs are ignorant. So, which

is it, twits? Idiots, or educated?

I suspect it is serious cases of diploma envy.

[SergeStorms]

19. High school dropouts...

are the mindless fodder of white, right-wing extremists.

How'd I do?
