Lauren Boebert got busted by her own photos after an embarrassing attempt to get attention by supporting Donald Trump's demand to end mail-in voting.
John Iadarola and Yasmin Kahn discuss her embarrassing self-own on The Damage Report.
"Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was called out for hypocrisy this week after echoing Donald Trump’s call to “end” mail-in voting. Trump had posted about wanting to abolish mail-in ballots ahead of the midterms, to which Boebert replied simply: “end it.”
However, photos resurfaced of the congresswoman herself using the convenient mail-in ballot option in a past election, including a selfie with the envelope and another shot of her placing it into a secure dropbox.
The viral tweet highlighting the contradiction — captioned “this you?” — has since been viewed over a million times and retweeted more than 4,000 times. The backlash sparked a wave of users posting the same images under Boebert’s original tweet, turning it into a ratio."
