Boebert Raged Against Debt Bill, Was Absent For Vote

The New Republic reports:

Apparently Lauren Boebert didn’t care that much about the debt ceiling—she skipped the vote! To Boebert’s credit, the past few weeks for her seem to have been busy. Last week, she admitted she only had her third son because birth control was too expensive.

Also last week, reports came out of 911 call tapes of Boebert’s son desperately calling for help, saying his father (Boebert’s then husband) was “fucking throwing me around the house.” Despite the external happenings, it’s astonishing Boebert missed voting on a bill she spent so much time deriding.

In the last week, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert tweeted or retweeted 23 times about disliking the debt ceiling deal.

Yet, she still “narrowly missed the vote, running up the steps right as they gaveled,” per @juliegraceb.#copolitics https://t.co/6qGeg8vQYW

Lauren Boebert: “If every Republican voted the way they campaigned, they would vote against tomorrow’s bad deal, because this is the very thing we campaigned to put an end to.” https://t.co/1Rwjy3Zkwb pic.twitter.com/fqm00ef92Z
